Canola honey is actually the most productive, but it's rare on the market because canola honey is not tasty, so most people don't make it.
Rapeseed is widely grown in China, both in the north and south of the Yangtze River. Due to the large area of rape, the production of rape honey is also large. Currently, it is the highest yielding honey in China and the main source of bulk honey. The yield of rape honey is directly related to the beekeeper's annual production. For beekeepers, rape honey is a crucial product. However, as a consumer, it is difficult to find rape honey if you go to a supermarket, bee product store, specialty store, food court or other places that sell honey to buy rape honey. Including you to a Taobao, Oriental and other e-commerce platform search, sell rape honey is also very little.
Rape honey tastes bad. It's airy and green and doesn't smell good. Just like some people don't like canola oil. Taste is the primary characteristic of honey. If it doesn't taste good, it will affect the audience. This is the root cause of the decrease in canola honey. Crystallization is a common phenomenon in honey and has no effect on the quality of the honey, but many consumers cannot understand it. Rape honey is a common crystalized honey. This characteristic of rape honey exacerbates consumers' misconceptions and keeps them away from it.
These two characteristics make canola honey very popular with buyers. When shopping for honey at the supermarket, take a look at the ingredient list and you'll see that many single-flower honey varieties have more than 60 percent canola honey. Therefore, the honey that people buy usually crystallizes quickly and turns lardy, and is likely to contain a large amount of canola honey.
In fact, there are many on the market. While most of the ingredients in Hundred Flowers Honey are canola nectar, there are some people who don't really like the taste of canola honey, but most people don't really feel it. In fact, real canola honey has good nutritional value. I've heard it also has blood pressure lowering properties.
