The Source of Silver Foil in Sweets :- ONE MUST READ

THIS

 

USA, Aug 23 (VNN) - A couple of years ago, Indian

Airlines, the

domestic air-carrier of India had issued instructions

to its

suppliers to supply sweet without silverfoil called

VARAKH. Do you

know why?

 

Silver is widely used for various purposes in the

market today.

Silver is considered precious and its utility is

enormous. The

reason behind this is that silver reflects back 95% of

the light

energy that falls on it. The silver foils used for

edible purposes

is called VARAKH So what's so special about VARAKH?

 

This is what I would like to bring to your notice.

 

If you keenly observe this VARAKH under a microscope

don be

perturbed if you happen to see traces of blood, stools

and saliva of

a cattle or ox.

 

VARAKH is a silver foil and we have no second

questions on this, but

to prepare this VARAKH important parts of the

CATTLE/OX is made use

of.

 

Intestines of Cattle/OX are obtained from the

slaughterhouse. This

is obtained after butchering to death the cattle/ox

for beef and the

part, which cannot be consumed: the intestines are

pulled out of the

animal and handed over to the manufacturers of VARAKH.

Before

handing over the intestines, they are washed in the

slaughterhouse

to get rid of the blood and other remains on these

intestines in the

limited facility that is present in the

slaughterhouse. We are not

sure how neatly this job is carried out. Intestines

are cut into

small pieces and then are bound together as pages in a

notebook.

 

A silver block is placed in the middle of these bound

intestines,

and the whole thing is placed in a leather bag and

sealed. Experts,

who know how to make VARAKH, pound the bag with wooden

sticks, till

the entire bag flattens out. The silver block would by

this time be

turned into silver foil. This Silver foil would now be

separated

from the intestine pack and will be placed on paper.

 

This is VARAKH, which reaches the market ready for

use. Even staunch

vegetarians, who shy away from egg, unknowingly

consume this as a

part of sweet, pan and arecanut. Some unknowingly

consume this

because of the additional taste that VARAKH provides.

 

Now the question is " Why the intestines of the

cattle/ox? Why not

something else? " The reason behind using the

intestines of the

cattle/ox for preparing the VARAKH is because of the

elasticity of

the intestines. They do not get cut even after a

severe pounding.

 

This aspect is brought out in the magazine " Beauty

without cruelty "

and the Television show of Maneka Gandhi, " Heads and

Tails " . In

India, on an average an estimate indicates that

2,75,000 kilos of

" VARAKH " is consumed. Can you estimate how many

cattle/ox are

sacrificed for just a bit of taste?

 

If you are surprised as I am, after reading this

article please

inform as many as possible so as to ensure that we

unknowingly don't

consume beef.

 

I would like to thank the authors of this article in

Taranga, a

weekly magazine in Kannada, for enlightening us.
