If you would rather return your honey to a liquid state, it's quite easy to do. This video explains why honey crystallizes and shows step-by-step what you can do about it without sacrificing its beneficial natural properties. (*Apologies in ...

Taking Apart Filled Ross Rounds Super

    I thought this was going to be some interesting new thing. Heating up honey to melt sugar crystals is just common sense. How sad is our world where people need a video to teach them something they could have figured out by just thinking logically. A skill lost. The world is doomed!

    • @stringfellowhawke2217
      @stringfellowhawke2217 Год назад

      Well, to be fair, asking how is a start to becoming logical. I always applaud those who ask. They are at least trying to use their brains. Those who either don't think or are afraid to because others may label them as stupid... well... let's use that logic here. Are they going to become smarter? Probably not. So, if you're here out of curiosity, then congratulations. You have just become smarter. Now imagine all of the other things you have been wanting to know. The internet is just as much an educational tool as it is an entertainment outlet. Those of us who remember the world without it remember how hard it was to learn about things back in the day. Honey, well, I always assumed melting it was the right way. I never tried it until this morning. Now, I feel like a genius with really good tasting tea.

      @@stringfellowhawke2217 being logical means you don't have to be taught every tiny thing. If you need to be taught basic logic, if so many people need to be taught basic logic...well we are doomed. I believe that is prevalent in the world's society today. Alarmingly so. If people can't think for themselves and figure out how to melt sugar then we should be hyper focused on teaching kids logic skills and problem solving even if just on a basic level.

    One of our grocery stores finally has honeycomb available... I was actually in a jar of honey instead of just the honey coated comb in some packaging. I tried a small piece of it and the experience wasn't bad. I enjoyed it. I just put it in the mouth and chewed the wax with honey and swallowed it all. What I figured out though is not to chew the wax too long. It kinda balled up in small balls and started tasting like wax, lightly. So I won't chew it up so long next time. It did take quite a bit of chewing to taste like wax, so... But the experience was still good for me and I'm happy with it. I waited so long for the stores here to have it available.
