      it doesn't expire, but if you open the jar with honey( i don't mean that you only open the lid, I mean that you open it because you want to eat it) after 2-3 months it will start to crystallize, in crystals sugar like, but it won't crystallize thought one night, it will be like one millimeter in month. But even after it crystallize you can eat it 100 years later.

And i can't consume honey raw or without the bacteria (cooking it in baked goods kills off any bacteria because of high heat) without severe agonising pain. Basically lactose intolerant person drinking milk, where the pain is basically only in the stomach without the gas. On heroin.

    I just brought some honey at a festival, from a local bee person, here in Seneca SC, Beeline, is the name, and i tested it at home after paying $16 for a jar, just to find out it was fake or completely processed out, or maybe diluted. Beware of even people that have a following and have bees, consumers don't realize what their eating.

      No, the FDA will tear you apart if you put lies on your ingredients and get reported. Could be millions of dollars in lawsuits. I think only 3rd world countries can get away with it. Also, tax evasion and false advertisement of ingredients are two different things. There are politics involved for tax evasion, but if you get sued for falsely advertising ingredients, people (as in individuals) can sue a company for that. By the way, calling someone names while not spelling correctly takes away any credibility you might have. Try to argue opinions / beliefs in a more sophisticated way and behave more politely. Thanks.

    Real honey prices vary according to the flower source and geographical location of honey.
    Never believe in-home testing or traditional methods to test honey if it is real or fake.
    These are outdated and failed methods. The reason is, the modern Chinese adulterants mixed with honey can pass all these tests and even FSSAI testing parameters.
    So, check the local brand providing honey varieties and it should be NMR tested. NMR is an advanced test that ensures that honey is not adulterated with any kind of modern adulterants.

    • @mathewvanostin7118

      The only way to test true honey is to test if it does its medical proprieties
      They can fake the taste, color, texture. But not the medecinal propriety
      100% pure raw honey will for example boost digestion and cure bloating/heavy stomach
      If your honey doesnt do that or make things worst digestion-bloating wise. Its either fake. Or have a % of it that is fake
      Another trick is to take honey and swoosh with on your gums and teeth
      Real 100% honey will feel like a after mouthwash
      Fake honey or partial fake honey will hurt your gums and teeth like crazy

    I had a bottle of honey once. It said that it was real honey and that it should be placed in a fridge. I was suspicious about. Why would honey need to be in a fridge when they can be preserved for thousands of years? So I placed it on the dining table and waited for a day. I'm not surprised it turned very liquid like.

I've never had store bought honey, but the real stuff is just... perfect. No artificial feeding or anything done to the bees. She makes herbal remedies with it as well. I've been lucky to get honey from her.

  • @syedjunaidahmed4555
    @syedjunaidahmed4555 4 года назад +48

    Raw honey which is directly squeezed from the bee hives are not supposed to be more thick!
    It could also be as thin like water or oil, because the colour, taste and density of the raw honey is purely dependent on the type of flowers from which the honey bees get the nectar.
    And, do also colour, taste, state and density of the raw honey changes on shelves due to it's reaction of pollen grains and bee's wax with the environmental moisture content.

      I saw in another video that Florida has the best laws regarding honey labels. If a honey maker is located in, and selling in, Florida, they are required to put everything on the label. In other states that is not a law, apparently. Some honey producers add things like high fructose corn syrup. We consumers should insist this law be passed in other states.
      Similar laws exist regarding olive oils. It pisses me off when producers of products get away with mislabeling their products.
      Buyer beware, I guess!

    This does not help people do anything but determine if one has more corn syrup than the other. There is no way to measure the degree of added corn syrup to it. The real thing could have some corn syrup in it too.

    If you want a real benefit of honey, consume raw honey. That is the honey our prophets and ancestor consume and told us to do the same.
    All branded honey you buy in supermarket are not raw no matter what the label says.
    Raw honey are foamy, more watery, looks muddy, and contains gas. It doesn't look beautiful as commercial honey, also the gas from enzyme make it impossible to stored in bottle to be sell in the market. So they heat the honey to kill all the enzyme and make it thicker, ultrafilration to make the honey looks clear and beautiful. So they basically remove the powerful content of honey and it become sugar in the bottle.
    All of this test are bullshit, i get my raw honey from my friend who harvest the honey directly in the jungle.
    Forget about all those stupid myths telling you ants dont like honey, honey wont mix with water easily, out it in freezer etc. Raw honey are more watery, it will freeze, ants will eat it (ants dont like processed honey because its to thick for them), and it mix easily with water.
    I think those test and myth are made by honey company to kill the local beekeeper who actually sell an original healthy raw honey

      Runny honey can still be pure honey. Depends on the season or the type of bees. Summer season honey tends to be thicker between 17-19% moisture content while rainy season honey tends to be around 19-22% moisture. Buy from a local beekeeper to be sure.

      I agree that some honey is runnier than other honey. It depends on the type. Clover, buckwheat, tree necter, flowering trees, pine sap(bees do eat it in the beginning of the year). Temperature is also a big factor, hotter honey runs quick. Like the other commenter mentioned, humidity also plays a big factor.
