Просмотров 56 тыс.4 года назад
"My honey crystallized! Is it ruined?" We get this question a lot. Crystallization is very natural for honey and it doesn't mean it is spoiled or inedible. 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 ...

God I hate the wax
Just tried it and I love honey comb! So exotic lol
Are the honey combs big?
My honey does this and I legit watch them harvest it
You need to peel the outside skin of the salami/ sauccison first 👍
After this I found out I just won't bother about it...
😢😢😢THAT S 98% SUGAR. AND 2 % HONEY.. DONT BE FOOL
I thought that till it happened with me from my sister's bee farm.
It might look that way, but it's nothing but honey! Pretty wild how it can completely crystallize that way, isn't it? 🐝🐝
All honey is predominantly sugar, around 80-85% of any honey in fact.
😂😂😂THAT S NOT PURE HONEY..DONT BE FOOL
It looks like he is a beekeeper
I’m eating cubed sharp cheddar cheese with honeycomb 🤯🤩😋😋
Hi , should it crystallise from the bottom up or from the top to the bottom ? Since the air is coming from the top ... ?
I miss when this came out.
Blue cheese is sickening
I did not like my ya'll
i had it with a creamy plain yogurt and it was so good
Man, she said - which is delicious. I felt that and need me some of that comb now
They say metal spoons kills the enzymes of the honey! I wonder if they’re talking about the metal gives out like a electric shock?! even if you don’t leave the 🥄 in with the 🍯 🤔
Do you think buying bee pollen in bulk is sustainable? I worry that the bees are not being treated well if I buy a large quantity of pollen. Thank you!
@Old Swamp Apiary, HI< THANK YOU FOR EXPlAINING , FOR THE TIPS YOU SHARED OF HOW TO CONSUME THIS PRODUCT HONEYCOMB , BUT WE THINK IT IS NOT NUTRITIOUS TO MIX GOOD WITH BAD, LIKE HONEY WITH PORK , BEING PORK THE MOST UNHEALTHY AND NASTY MEAT IN THE WORLD.
If it’s cold out, yes it will
Just sit it in the sun. The sun heat will not reach 140-150 degrees
You'll kill the enzymes above @ 100 degrees F and be eating "processed" honey at that point. It only depends on if you value your health.
Im.not about to eat wax ill stick to honey alone
You can't put ads on a video like this...
"Button Clip" --> "Push-Pin"
I just bought a jar of honey that had honeycomb in it because I was SO curious of the texture, absolutely loved the texture but unfortunately I'm not a fan of honey on its own😅 Now I want to see if there is a way to make the flavor more enjoyable, so I'm gonna go ahead and buy some crackers as I already have brie cheese!
Thank you! Very informative ❤
I use it as my lubricant 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I just want to know where i can get some
How do you get the bugs out and separate them from the pollen you collected?
The LORD, who makes all things knew. Eat thou honeycomb My son knowledge and wisdom for thous who seek and understand what the LORD command his children.: Tada Raba!!!!!!!
👍👍👍
Can you not just put the honey in the same degree oven without the water so you dont have to change water so often because you still desolving at samt temp?
Most ovens don't get lower than 150F. That's too hot.
Ok thank you that helps!
Neat, ordered some raw honey and only got pollen. Now I’m just seeing what it’s all about .
It taste good
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!
and in other news, they are yellow lines in the road to tell people which side to drive on and red lights for people who don't have brains enough to stop for on coming traffic
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.
"Heating up honey to melt sugar crystals is just common sense" ? LOL You are a fool ! And I am certain you hear that all the time. After all it's just common sense !
The world is doomed!
@@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.
i just bought a jar like yours with the cork. it’s solid!! never seen it like that. very cool.
Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you this is helpful
Happy snacking!
Very helpful. Thank you.
Happy snacking!
The first time I tried Honeycomb I wasn’t sure if I lied it or not. The second time I tried it I was sure. I didn’t like it 😀
It's not for everyone!
So you can just eat the wax?
Why am I watching this when I’m at the brim of vomiting all over my couch after eating honey, Not even the comb I just sucked up the honey lol.
Thanks for the video!
Cool
I can't wait to try this, I've always been curious, and every time I see it my mouth waters. (Trained instinct?) Now, I can't wait to show my wife this video, the two snacks you posted were fabulous and I can't wait to try them. You could make an entire channel of content on what to do with honeycomb! Can you do some more?
Thanks! Happy snacking...
If you store your honey in the deep freezer, it doesn't crystalize.
Very good. Thank you.
Kudos !! Tried it and it worked like a charm! I used a sous vide to ensure that it was a stable 105 degrees. Best part: didn’t take 48 hours, only about 6. Big thanks!!!
Fantastic! Glad to hear it.
Super helpful. I’m going to use a Sous Vide for the temperature.
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.
Is wax digestible? 7😢😢😅
I have this same question. And what are the macros? 😂😂
And here i am just thinking i will eat mine like a chocolate bar 🤷♂️
