Dam im craving some Raw Honey now.

 

[rezuth]

Like previously stated there are different kinds of honey that comes in all kinds of forms and textures.

 

[Tesseract]

So you have micro balls?

 

[CaptainABAB]

Does he heat it in the process?

Never. And I've helped him at times with all of the steps.

In fact, he advises us to not put honey in hot tea as the heat "destroys" some of the healthy aspects of raw honey. I don't know if this is true or not.

I will say this, we do end up often times with half of the honey crystallized in the jar after some time. But the top portion will still be a thick syrup.

 

[Cheerilee]

WTH?!!

My dad has several hives in his backyard and his honey ends up closer to what you call "industrial honey".

Note: the only "processing" he does is scrap off the wax layer and put it into a spinning extractor where the honey drips down thru a cloth filter into a pail.

"Real honey" is a golden syrupy liquid at first, but it slowly crystallizes and turns white. You are experiencing honey in it's freshest form. It's whitened and slightly crystallized by the time most consumers get it.

Partially-crystalized honey can be spread, or if you prefer to pour it, you can warm it up by putting the container in a pool of warm water. This turns the honey back into a golden liquid.

"Factory honey" is overfiltered and boiled. This destroys the crystals, and ensures that it will never crystallize again. It also ruins some of the flavor of honey. It also ruins a number of health benefits of honey. It also makes it so that your honey can expire and make you sick (real honey never goes bad).

What happened here?!

i didn't think that euphemism through

walnuts

How...how are you disagreeing with a photo? "Here is a photo of honey that looks different." "Welp, I disagree."

You said: "That's not what real honey looks like... this is what honey looks like when retrieved from the comb without processing."

What I was trying to argue was that *some* real honey DOES look like that original picture. Not that your honey wasn't real.

Already happened ;p

 

[Smiles and Cries]

so is honey bee spit or bee urine? what say you

I've see natural honey fresh from the comb without the processing and it was still a golden brown not that waxy stuff

 

[Laieon]

Honey is amazing.

That game still haunts me 😩

Does the wax honey smell just as bad as syrup honey?

Honey is great, but it smells terrible.

Honey is great, but it smells terrible.

Are you sure that smelly brown liquid is honey? Where did you acquire it?

Winnie the Pooh Honey

This reminds me of a melted cheese fondue.

Looks the color of a prolapse, yuck!

If you don't know what that is, do NOT search for it.

Steaks and prolapses are some of my favorite things.

 

[Ryaaan14]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh...honey is like, The Greatest

If u don't believe me dip ur chicken nugget in sum

 

[RobotChant]

Raw honey is minimally filtered, if at all, usually not heated, or at least not higher than the temps in a bee hive. Without the pasteurization, the raw honey crystallizes more rapidly and leaves it opaque and thick.

It's like bacon grease clotting up when the temps cool.

 

[AMUSIX]

That's not what real honey looks like... this is what honey looks like when retrieved from the comb without processing.

It's more wax than syrup.

Sorry, but this is such bullshit...whoever told you this, just go up to them and tell them it's bullshit...

This is my hive

This is a single frame of the hive with the wax caps cut off of the cells, you can see the color of the honey:

This is the honey as it comes out of the extractor...the only thing that is 'done' to it is to run it through a basic strainer to pull wax chunks out:

And this is honey in bears...just poured in. There is nothing processed about it:

The beeswax content makes all the difference

This looks awesome. Man, having a hive seems like such a great (and rewarding) hobby to have.

Is raw honey edible? Does it taste good?

EDIT: Never mind, just saw AMUSIX's post.

 

[Log4Girlz]

That's a jar of ear wax used to prank people.

 

[Bit-Bit]

That's because you need some tea with that honey.

Some Jasmine Oolong... yeah. That's the stuff....

Dude, I want to keep bees now. Fuck the neighbours, I want that honeycomb.

It's how Pooh has them calves and quads from squatting hard. Protein rich honey.

 

[Dryk]

As I understand it raw honey is just honey with the honey crystals, beeswax, dead bees and trace amounts of pollen and other crap still mixed in. It's fine to eat, but it will crystalise faster due to the extra nucleation sites (this is why honey is filtered) and the beeswax is essentially a filler material.

He's got a roid gut and everything

 

[AMUSIX]

Is raw honey edible? Does it taste good?

Raw honey is very edible...what Aztechnology has posted is actually Creamed Honey...which, in a way, is more 'processed' than just straight, raw honey. due to the blending and cooling processes it goes through.

http://www.benefits-of-honey.com/information-about-honey.html

3. Is creamed honey more superior to clear liquid honey?
For those who have purchased cream honey as the only form of honey before, they tend to become suspicious of the quality when they encounter liquid honey for the first time and question if there is anything wrong with the quality, and on the contrary, for those who come across creamed honey for the first time, they wonder if it is something more superior than the liquid honey which they have been taking. Many marketing labels such as "nothing is added, that's why our honey is so creamy" are adding to the confusing and misleading consumers into thinking that the creamier the honey, the more superior it is. (More on these erroneous labels in Eating Real Honey?)

The truth is, the creamy texture of honey does not imply any superiority in terms of quality or health benefits. Creamed honey is formed by blending a specific ratio of finely granulated honey and liquid honey. The mixture is then placed in cool storage to promote rapid granulation and produce a small crystal structure that results in a smooth creamy texture. The precisely controlled crystallisation process also lightens the color of honey (some creamed honey is white), but does not alter the taste or affect the nutritional value. The only difference in cream and clear liquid honey is the form and texture, nothing more and nothing less.

Yo is someone talking shit about me?

Winnie the Pooh is a fucking scumbag who should be taken out back and shot.

Depending on where you live in the UK, your primary school may take you to 100 Acre Wood for a little trip. I was also someone who was lied to and I felt betrayed (as an 8 year old). When we went on the trip to 100 Acre Wood, I found the house that Pooh(the betrayer) lived in. When everyone wasn't looking I then proceeded to pull down my trousers, shit on his door step, knock and then run away.

I got my revenge for all those 8 year olds. Felt good.

[Glass Rebel]

Give me cream honey over liquid honey every day of the week.

The flavour and consistency of honey depends on what the bees have been feeding on.

[Cheerilee]

Sorry, but this is such bullshit...whoever told you this, just go up to them and tell them it's bullshit...

It's not entirely bullshit, because your beehive starts at around body temperature, and real honey will melt at body temperature, and slowly crystallize at room temperature. The honey you have in those bears will slowly harden and turn white, and you should probably keep it in jars that can be accessed with a spoon, not a squirt bottle (not exactly sure what kind of lids you have).

Real honey can have any number of different colors and textures.

Common store-bought processed honey goes beyond room temperature, they boil it, which breaks it, resulting in honey that looks like fresh honey, but will never crystallize again, and can actually go bad.

From an above-average consumer prospective, golden liquid honey = processed crap, whitish semi-solid honey = the good stuff. It's just that the good stuff can be both.

 

[Owari]

Hunny, honey whats the difference its all bee barf

yep

no, real raw honey looks like this :



It's thicker. I've got a friend who made his own. I don't like industrial honey but his is just beyond amazing. I even get a couple of bee legs or wings sometimes in it but hey, it doesn't spoil the amazing taste

[Cartman86]

I completely agree with the disappointment that real honey or even pizza doesn't match my imagination growing up with those cartoons. Honey is gross though.
