Organic honey Organic honey is a natural honey that matures in a natural state. Because it is absolutely forbidden to use fertilizers, chemicals and synthetic chemical additives in the production process, and radiation technology is not allowed in the processing process, organic honey is natural honey, which is superior to natural honey and is a high-quality environmental protection green food derived from nature.
Native honey, also known as natural honey, is pure natural honey without any processing links. Honey is honey brewed by bees from flowers of flowering plants in beehives.
The "field" bees, who are responsible for collecting honey, absorb nectar with water content of about 80% from the flowers of plants, store it in their second stomach, and return to the hive to spit it out. The "backstage" bees in the hive mix the enzymes secreted by themselves and flap their wings to remove excess water. The temperature in the beehive is often kept at around 35℃.
After a period of time, the water evaporates. When the water content in honey is less than 20%, the bee will secrete wax to seal the mouth of the hive. At this time, honey is the real natural mature honey.
Then cut off the lid with a knife, then use the centrifugal force of the honey shaker to throw the honey out of the hive, and then carefully filter and bottle it for sale. This kind of honey has long brewing time, high cost and low yield, and it is a rare good honey!
Processed honey concentrated honey is also called processed honey, which is a statement relative to the original ecological honey. As the name implies, immature honey with high moisture content is concentrated at high temperature by a thickener to remove the moisture in honey.
The advantage is that concentrated honey will be preserved for a long time. The disadvantage is that the nutritional value of honey is also seriously damaged at the same time of high temperature concentration.
Looking at the honey in the supermarket, I can tell you responsibly that more than 90% are concentrated honey. Why are people willing to produce concentrated honey instead of selling raw honey?
Why do beekeepers shake honey every 3-5 days on average? Under normal circumstances, bees will soak honey in the nest after producing honey to remove the water in the honey, while bees in the background will keep flapping their wings and evaporate the water in the honey. When they think that the water in the honey has evaporated almost, the honey is mature, and the bees will seal a layer of beeswax in the hive, which is also commonly known as pure natural high-quality sealed honey.
Generally, the highest Baume degree can reach 42 degrees. But the treatment time of this bee needs at least 4-5 days. In fact, in order to save costs, manufacturers often push the price to the bottom line, and have low requirements for Baume. Because they have thickeners, the purchase prices of mature honey and immature honey are not far apart, so beekeepers shake the immature honey out in three days to increase production, and some even shake it once a day.
It is also convenient to shake honey, and it is not necessary to scrape off the wax with a honey scraper before shaking every time, saving time and effort, and killing two birds with one stone. In order to attract consumers, manufacturers concentrate immature honey and process it into 43 degrees. A toothpick can pick out the silk, and it will be layered when poured out. And there will be no problem for five years, and the glass bottle will not explode because of the gas contained in the original honey. It is also convenient for transportation, and consumers are willing to pay the bill. Why not?
It is precisely because the vast majority of people lack knowledge of honey and only recognize cheap psychology that fake honey and concentrated honey are rampant!
Advantages of organic honey In terms of taste, organic honey is more delicious than ordinary honey. Organic honey matured naturally above 42 degrees is dry and thick, with high glucose and fructose content, good taste and natural and rich floral fragrance. However, the entrance of ordinary low-alcohol honey is thin, the consistency is insufficient, the sweetness is slightly lower, and the fragrance residence time of honey is relatively short.
In terms of nutritional value, organic honey contains incomparable glucose, fructose, vitamins, amino acids and enzymes. Many low-grade ordinary honey has not yet reached natural maturity, and many nutrients are not comprehensive.
It is obvious to sum up the benefits of honey. No matter from the taste, nutritional value or storage mode, organic honey is much better than ordinary honey. The benefits of honey are still many. Honey can nourish yin, moisten dryness, dredge intestines, prevent constipation, and also has the effects of relieving fatigue and beauty beauty. It is a good choice to drink a cup of honey water every morning. Long-term persistence will have a good nourishing effect and unexpected beauty effect!
