Pls read to understand that not all honeys taste the same and why…

There are more than 300 varietals, or flavors, of honey in the U.S. Learn how honey bees create so many different flavors and colors.

DOES HONEY CONTAIN ALLERGENS?
Honey itself is not a common allergen, but it may contain traces of pollen from flowers. People with severe pollen allergies should exercise caution.

WHY ARE SOME HONEYS DARKER IN COLOR AND OTHERS ARE LIGTHER?

The color of honey can vary, with some being light yellow and others being darker yellow. This variation in color mainly depends on the type of nectar the bees collect, the type of plants, the processing, and the storage methods. Here are some key factors that affect the color of honey:

Source of Nectar: Different plants produce nectar that results in different colored honey. For example, acacia honey is usually light yellow, while buckwheat honey is dark brown or nearly black.

Harvesting Time: Honey collected early in the season is usually lighter in color, while honey harvested later tends to be darker.

Processing Methods: Honey that has undergone high-temperature processing may become darker, whereas raw or low-temperature processed honey generally remains lighter in color.

Storage Time: The longer honey is stored, the more likely it is to darken in color due to chemical reactions between sugars and other components.

Environmental Factors: Climate, soil conditions, and other environmental factors can influence the composition of the nectar bees collect, which in turn affects the color of the honey.

Therefore, the color variation in honey is a natural phenomenon, and honey of different colors often has different flavors and nutritional profiles.

FACTS FIRST:
PURITY OF MARGA’s PURE HONEY USING SCIENTIFIC TEST (REFRACTOMETER)
————————
Sabi nila, “Fire test daw” pag umapoy ibig sabihin pure ang honey.
Sabi nila, “Water test daw” pag inikot-ikot sa plato na may tubig at may nabuong honey comb-like, pure daw.

The truth is... umaapoy talaga ang honey dahil may natural hydrogen peroxide, one of the main substance content kung bakit nakakagamot ng sugat ang honey at ng iba-iba pang uri ng sakit.

PERO... kahit peke ang HONEY, pedeng mag-apoy at, kahit peke ang HONEY tulad ng iba pang syrup like maple syrup, caramel syrup, corn syrup o sugar syrup ay pedeng makabuo ng honey comb-like sa tubig.

So hindi magandang basihan ang fire test at water DAHIL MARAMI PONG MAGALING MANDAYA.

1. Freezer Test
Hindi tumitigas ang pure honey kahit ilagay mo pa sa (-20) degrees or lower temperature na lamig ng freezer, dahil ang pure honey dapat hindi bumaba sa 70% brix% or the dissolved solid content. Ang marga’s pure honey ay lagpas sa 80% ang brix percentage (moisture test) so SUPER PURE. Maglagay lang ng honey sa disposal na malambot na cup, lagay mo sa freezer kahit ilang taon, titigas na ung tubig or karne or kahit anong nasa freezer pero ung pure honey napipindot pa din sa lambot.

𝟐. Refractometer Test
