All honey is mostly sugars and your body cannot distinguish one glucose/fructose molecule from another.Not sure where it comes from or is it mostly sugar etc.
There is a Honey Farm in the Dublin Mountains. The BK has many aparies and you would get a choice of different types of honey. He also has an online shop. Also if you are near Waterford the Amish on the Dunmore Road have honey and great cakes too. Your local BK’s association would have a list of suppliers too. There is a world of difference between blended multi source honey that is pasteurised and locally sourced honey.Late in life I have developed a likeness for honey. Never really liked it before this. Nothing nicer than a slice of McCambridges brown bread, toasted with honey on it.
The problem is, I am not an expert on honey. I just buy the supermarket stuff. Not sure where it comes from or is it mostly sugar etc.
The plan is to start looking around for a locally produced honey.
I don't really have any farmer's markets close to me here in Dublin. We do have an Avoca and a Donnybrook Fair where I think I might get a honey from a small producer but I am not even sure if this will be any different from the supermarket honey.
Any thoughts or recommendations?
Special glucose and fructose molecules?There is a world of difference between blended multi source honey that is pasteurised and locally sourced honey.
Rather like the difference in quality of responses to a request for information.Special glucose and fructose molecules?
If you send me PM I will send you a jar of honey. I am a BK but only keep a couple of hives and don’t sell it. You can judge yourself the differenceI had a look at the Dublin Mountains man who produces honey. From looking at his website it is only available online and in lots of 20 jars. For the moment I am just looking to purchase an occasional jar as I go. Not really online.
Special sources might be a different way of looking at it. Similar to grass fed beef as opposed to factory farming. Likewise free range eggs and poultry. Organic vegetables. Farmed fish. The list is endless. They are all the same product but sourced very differently.Special glucose and fructose molecules?
Organic vegetables.
Inorganic vegetables normally refers to the conventional method of farming where fertilisers are used as opposed to organic where natural fertilisers are usedI strongly recommend against anyone trying to eat inorganic vegetables!
Why is honey pasteurised?I think pasteurising it makes it taste burnt.
Unpasteurised honey will crystallise. By heating (pasteurising) it will remain runny.Why is honey pasteurised?
This doesnt explain specifically why honey is pasteurised.Unpasteurised honey will crystallise. By heating (pasteurising) it will remain runny.
