This page is about the Indian confectionery garnish. VARK may also refer to NLP modalities.

Vark, Varak or Varakh (Hindi:वर्क) [Pronounced Vrk] is a silver foil garnishing on top of Indian sweets. The silver is edible, though tasteless. Vark is not harmful to the body as the quantity is minuscule.

Vark is made by pounding silver into a thin sheet a few micrometres thick. When sold, Vark is backed with paper and peeled before use. It is extremely brittle and breaks into smaller pieces if touched.

Vegetarian lobbyists claim that Vark is hammered between animal fat or hide and thus a non-vegetarian product.
