When I saw these edible butterflies I really wanted to try them. I got these through a website I had never used before NewXShop.com. I was pleasantly surprised that these were free and I only had to pay for shipping. There were some other items on their website that were also free, so I went ahead and ordered those since I was already paying the $4.99 shipping. I basically got five different things and only paid $4.99 for all five.
The butterflies were cute. Not all the printing on them was even like they weren’t cut on the lines. I was okay with that because no butterfly is perfect and they are all unique. The butterflies were made of potato starch, vegetable oil, and edible inks similar to communion wafer. It is recommended that the butterflies be used within 4 months of purchase.
I liked the butterflies but when I opened the package there was one of those silica bead bags in with them to absorb any moisture. I really question whether the butterflies are okay to eat. Since those silica bead bags are poisonous did they contaminate the butterflies? Should I use the butterflies and just make sure no one eats them? Will the butterflies touching food contaminate the food? Since I am not sure of the answers to these questions I have not used the butterflies yet. I think I am going to do some more research on those silica bead bags.
