Honey: benefits and harms

So I say check ... You can check for chalk very well with vinegar at home.

[Ikra]

- when combined, harmful substances are formed (there are special works on this topic, I will not go deeper). For the same reason, honey is not recommended to be put in baked goods.

Len, this is where the topic began. Literally read the first page. Ikra wrote in great detail (see. post number 13).
There are indeed substances in honey that, when heated (over 200 ° C), turn into rather dangerous compounds. These compounds are markers for the quality of honey - if it is heated, then the content of these substances increases. There is only one significant but ... this is the amount of these substances and the fact that it is these substances in much larger quantities that are contained in other products that we consume not 10 grams each, like a spoonful of honey in tea.

By the way, this byaka (I won't retype the name) is formed by burning sugar (classic caramel or burnt sugar, which is used as a dye), in invert syrup and molasses (which are widely used in the confectionery industry).
And (attention!) In confectionery products during storage!

[Girls]

You can also test for chalk with vinegar at home.

How is that ?!

Girls and boys, a white does honey happen?

It looks like ghee, tastes ... I don't even know what to compare with ... but delicious ...

We sell it as fireweed ...

But the white color of this honey somehow confuses me ...

I've never met this before ...

Or maybe I shouldn't shy away from this honey ...

If necessary, I can take a picture and show, my husband bought, wanted how best please ... only I am somehow afraid to use it ...

And we call this white honey creamy... He, as if whipped slightly. By the way, he is also called that. Very tasty. I tried but didn't buy. It seems to me that this is from the category of "know-how"
Maybe I'm wrong ... But ...

[Crochet]

Crochet, fireweed honey is really the color of milk. It looks like condensed milk and is very healthy and tasty. Fireweed is ivan tea. Medicinal plant. Eat heaven. Apart from the benefits, no harm. I love him very much too.

Our white is very expensive.

[Ksyusha]

Ksyusha, fireweed honey is still very successfully counterfeited. Craftsmen have learned to whip low quality honey. It is saturated with air, it turns out much more and is also white in color. The fireweed smell and taste is very different from such a heap. And the price of fireweed is average, but, I agree, it is not cheap.

It is saturated with air, it turns out much more

This seems to be my case

Peace be with you bakers!

we really rarely buy honey from a neighbor at fairs, father keeps an apiary \ small \ so we get a honey as a gift but we don’t have to buy it year after year: yes: sometimes we have to buy

I've watched the most expensive Borteva honey so many times
he is mostly Bashkir

Girls and boys, does white honey happen?

As a child, my great-grandmother gave me such a White, very tasty, she never ate this anywhere else. He did not have a sharp taste of honey, which often children do not like. So this is not a Know-How. Then they said to me that they say it was birch, but I really don’t know how much this is true, because I was a prefix: "Why is it white?" and grandma could be the first thing that comes to mind to say, they say, white as a birch)

the most expensive Borteva honey turns out

It is rarely sold at fairs by bee-keepers from settlements of Old Believers from the Altai Territory.Yes, wild honey is the most expensive, but it is also the most valuable.

This seems to be my case

Even if you are already lucky with the bank

[Ilona]

IlonaThis honey is called baby honey. But he is not there now because the willow fields remained in Bashkiria, Chuvashia and Mari-el. You can buy that honey from childhood from these beekeepers.

Eh ... but where is it in Moscow to find a genuine one. We take honey from friends from the apiary, but those in Lipetsk, not in Bashkiria.

Peace be with you bakers!

notglass- -It is sold at fairs very rarely

at the current fair, I approached the tent with this honey: yes: they constantly trade at the fair
they have an assortment, but there is no onboard
asked where the man replied that because of his high cost and small amount, he is brought under the order and on the first or second day he understands everything

[Guys]

Quote: notglass from Today at 01:11 PM

This seems to be my case

Judging by the price, mine too ...

I had to prick my husband on the subject of lope, there is a presented jar ...

GuysThank you all for your participation !!!

P.S. Today in the store, I caught my eye on such a jar of honey:

"Berestov A. S." Altai "Buckwheat color"



February is outside, and the honey in the jar is absolutely liquid, it turns out that they were heating ...

And the price for such a jar is far from cheap, 170 rubles for 240 grams.

And people buy ... and probably trust the manufacturer ...

It's a shame ..

A marketing move is a great thing!
We also sell. But I read ... read ... and move on

On TV, in some program, they said that entrepreneurs add some more byaka to already heated honey so that it is always liquid.
And I took buckwheat honey at the end of August, so after a couple of weeks it became absolutely thick. With a knife she cut to the table.

How is that ?!

Kroshik, a little later, I'm preparing a feast for my daughter's friends.

Melilot honey when it is sugared (already in winter) also becomes white, but it is not uniform in consistency, but grains-saccharins ... (Oh, and I didn’t love him ... I remember with horror when I had to help my grandfather on in the apiary, put flasks of candied solid honey in the jars .. And then completely wash off the honey) ...
And pure white and consistency like melted butter was taken this year at the fair - eleutherococcal (brought from the North Caucasian nature reserve), they also took a little onboard ... Tasty!
And liquid honey all year round can only be spring flower, which is the very first to be pumped (as my grandfather told me), and unscrupulous producers apparently know this, because most of all this something liquid, sold in stores, is called flower honey.

And we call white honey linden, well, like - from a linden blossom. For the price it is more expensive than many other types of honey. I once bought a small jar of such honey on the market. So after a while he stratified into a liquid component at the bottom of the can and something solid-thick on top

I also remembered .... How to check the maturity of honey (in particular flower honey) When we scoop up liquid honey with a spoon and then turn it around, mature honey (no matter how liquid it is) should be wrapped around the spoon, and not constantly drip from it. If honey is flowing, it means that it is not ripe, that is, it contains a lot of moisture (the bees did not have time to evaporate it and seal the honeycomb), and the beekeepers hurried to pump out the honey. Mature honey has a density of 1.4, that is, a liter jar of honey should weigh about 1.4 kg.
And more ... honey is recommended to be stored in a dark place, especially if it was purchased for medicinal purposes. Sunlight negatively affects the medicinal properties of honey.
If you buy comb honey, try to take light comb. Inspect them carefully from all sides, they must not be damaged, the honeycomb must be sealed. Let me explain: honeycombs darken over time ... More than one generation of bees has hatched from dark brown honeycombs (if I can say so about bees) ...And usually they do not spoil the whole frames for sale, this is an expensive pleasure ... Honeycombs are usually cut if they are cracked or damaged. But there is an option (as we did at one time, not for sale, however, but for gifts) Special small frames are prepared, which are inserted into ordinary frames, and after filling them with honey and sealing, they are removed from the hive.
And the human body develops immunity against bee venom. After about 100 bites (not at the same time, of course!) The sensitivity to pain from the bite is much less and the place of the bite hardly swells (unless it’s a face, of course.) If I’ll write anything else interesting in my memory ..

[Anya]

If anything else interesting in my memory pops up I'll write ..

Anya, write be sure)), very informative !!!

A hundred bites to experience? OGO !!!!
No really ... we'll somehow ... get along

And more ... honey is recommended to be stored in a dark place, especially if it was purchased for medicinal purposes. Sunlight negatively affects the medicinal properties of honey.

So I am always surprised when I see how honey is sold along the roads! There are jars of various honey, right in the sun, all day long. How can you? It is clear that all this is for sale. But people buy, and the price is not small. What is being sold there is another question. But the storage-implementation conditions should be observed ...

I found a nice barrel for honey


Tell me where to store honey in the summer, when the hottest days?
Once a jar of old honey melted and froth slightly

I found a nice barrel for honey

Ahhh ....... sentry ... where did I go and most importantly ... where did I take my favorite pot?

[and]

I found a nice barrel for honey

And my husband, on the name day, also loaded up a barrel for honey Czech glass !!!

Lyublunandmagu !!! Both the husband and the barrel !!!

Something a hefty photo of a big one turned out, I'll probably hide it under the spoiler ...

Make mead from him! And nothing else. Or put it away in a cool place.

and slightly foamed

And here I ask the specialists to explain and teach. HOW can natural honey foam (for what such reason)? Honey is the only product in the world in which fungi, mold, bacteria and other animals cannot live. It never goes bad ...

natural honey

The village honey is over. And I had to buy a jar of dark honey on the market
That's how he reacted in the heat

a jar of dark honey

it turns out: "a jar of dark syrup"

Yes, yes, I have a three-liter jar of honey on the balcony behind the curtain on the rack for a single year, and in the summer it reaches +45. Well, I forgot about honey in short ... but at least henna! That's what friends brought from the apiary. The healing properties probably disappeared of course, but still it was added to milk))
And by the way, how long can honey be stored (if in a dark place and not in the heat) without losing its medicinal and other properties?

When Prince Mikhail Yaroslavovich of Tverskoy (Saint) was killed in the Horde, his body was placed in a coffin, which was completely covered with honey. Circumstances (internecine strife Moscow-Tver) developed in such a way that the body was delivered to the homeland more than a year later, remaining constantly in honey conservation. Opening of the "packaging" for the funeral service, etc., showed a very high preservation of the object. That, among other outstanding services of the prince, contributed to his veneration as a saint.

My father-in-law keeps an apiary. So, he says that unripe honey may well ferment, because unripe honey contains a lot of excess moisture and not enough enzymes.

[nati]

Thank you, nati

Irina, so I'm ... always happy to help
we have this honey ...like in a honey factory, I almost don't eat it. My pregnant father-in-law gave me water and honey to drink 19 years ago ... I felt so bad then that I still don't eat honey ... and I don't eat honey cakes either

It's a pity that the desire to eat honey has disappeared
It's a miracle of nature! Such a thing is useful!
I swapped coffee for a chicory drink (with added cream). And instead of sugar, honey

we have this honey ... like a honey factory

Schaub we admirers of honey so we lived !!!

On the weekend I replenished my honey stocks, bought linden and buckwheat, by superhuman efforts I suggest to myself that the honey I bought is the most real ...

I'm not eating yet, I'm waiting for the final belief ...

[Crochet]

Crochet, self-hypnosis is a great power
My husband and I ate a half-liter jar over the winter. Rather, they didn't even eat it, but I added sugar instead of sugar to bread, so they used it.

half-liter jar

In two? Why is it so little?

Irina, my husband doesn't like honey either. Maybe it's because there is a lot of it. I would gladly translate my husband from sugar to honey, but he does not agree.
And I, too, now try to jump off the chicory with coffee at least partially. And I don't eat sugar, so I can't replace it with honey.

My husband and I ate a half-liter jar during the winter

How did you manage it?

Maybe it's because there is a lot of it

So you sell surplus to us !!!

How did you manage this? [/ Quote]
With great difficulty
You could just treat it, but you live a long way

And for my daughter, such a volume is considered no honey

[Crochet]

my husband doesn't like honey either. Maybe it's because there is a lot of it.

I join Crochet: surplus honey - to the masses!
We respect him sooooo much, this honey!

[nati]

With great difficulty

Poor things ... how did you suffer, then go ...

live a long way

Well, what are those seven miles for a mad dog ...

And for my daughter, such a volume is considered no honey

Our person !!!

surplus honey - to the masses!

nati, with such a demand, you need to open an online store, and if the drones were also delivered to the addressees, then it's a dream!

I will be teasing, take pictures of honey in cans, cans, comb and exhibit, exhibit ...
