Bee Honey (Minimum Order Quantity 100 jars)


Bee honey is a natural sweetener created by honeybees from the nectar of flowers. With its golden hue and rich, smooth texture, honey is cherished worldwide for its delightful, complex flavor that ranges from subtly floral to intensely sweet, depending on the flower source. Beyond its taste, honey boasts a unique profile of nutrients, including natural sugars, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants like flavonoids that contribute to its reputation as a health-boosting food.Known for its antibacterial and healing properties, honey has been used for centuries in traditional medicine to soothe sore throats, boost immunity, and support digestive health. It also has remarkable skin benefits, acting as a natural moisturizer and wound healer when applied topically. Honey's versatility extends to the kitchen.


Features


1. Purity and Composition
  • Natural Ingredients: Good quality honey should be free from additives such as corn syrup, molasses, or preservatives. It should consist solely of nectar collected by bees and processed naturally.
  • Moisture Content: High-quality honey typically has a moisture content of 18% or less. Honey with higher moisture levels is prone to fermentation, which can spoil its flavor and freshness
  • Sugar Composition: Quality honey contains a high percentage of reducing sugars (usually over 65%) and low sucrose content (around 5%). This composition contributes to its sweetness and stability


2. Processing
  • Minimal Processing: Gourmet honey is often lightly heated and strained to remove impurities while retaining most of its antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Over-processing can strip honey of its natural benefits
  • Filtration: Quality honey is usually lightly filtered to remove larger particles while preserving most of the pollen content. Excessive filtration can result in a loss of flavor and nutritional value


3. Sensory Attributes
  • Color: The color of honey varies based on the floral source and can indicate quality. Darker honeys often have a stronger flavor and higher mineral content, while lighter honeys tend to have a milder taste
  • Flavor and Aroma: The taste and smell of honey are influenced by the plants from which the nectar is sourced. Quality honey should have a distinct flavor profile that reflects its floral origins
  • Clarity: While many consumers associate clarity with quality, some high-quality honeys may appear cloudy due to high pollen content. Cloudiness does not necessarily indicate inferior quality; in fact, it may enhance nutritional benefits


4. Physical Properties
  • Electrical Conductivity: This property is measured to assess the ash content in honey, which can indicate its mineral composition and overall quality
  • Granulation: Honey may crystallize over time due to glucose precipitation. Granulated honey is still nutritious and does not signify poor quality; preferences for liquid versus granulated forms vary among consumers


5. Health Benefits
  • Nutritional Value: High-quality honey is rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that contribute to health benefits such as boosting immunity and providing energy. Raw honey retains more beneficial compounds compared to processed varieties.
