Saharanpur sweet sellers strip sweets of their shimmering crown as silver price soars

Rising silver prices have forced sweet shops in Saharanpur to cut back on using silver vark, the delicate edible foil that gives Indian sweets their signature shine. The cost of silver foil has nearly doubled, from Rs 150 per packet to Rs 300–325, prompting shop owners to reduce layers on sweets like barfi and reserve vark for premium items. Sweet sellers are exploring alternatives such as pistachio powder and saffron for decoration, signaling a subtle shift in traditional sweet-making practices. While the temporary dip in silver prices offers some relief, edible vark remains expensive, affecting both appearance and the premium feel of sweets. #SilverVark #SaharanpurSweets #SilverPriceHike #IndianSweets #Barfi #SweetShopNews #EdibleFoil #ptinews #ptivideos #presstrustofindia Subscribe to PTI's YouTube channel for in-depth reports, exclusive interviews, and special visual stories that take you beyond the headlines. #PTIVideos PTI News : ptinews.com PTI Fact Check : ptinews.com/factcheck/factcheck.aspx PTI X (formerly Twitter): https://x.com/PTI_News PTI Instagram:   / ptinews_multimedia   PTI Facebook:   / presstrustofindia
