Lucknow’s Exotica: India’s Priciest Sweet Indulgence
In the northern Indian city of Lucknow, a confluence of culture unfolds through a culinary gem known as Exotica. This luxurious dessert is a dry mithai, blending a medley of ingredients from across the globe, including American blueberries, Australian and South African macadamia nuts, European hazelnuts, and more.
However, what truly sets Exotica apart is its most prized and costly ingredient: 100% edible gold leaves that envelop these international delicacies. This opulent sweet is packaged in a specially designed box to ensure longevity, extending its shelf life by an impressive 20-30 days.
