Walking through the exhibition of bee products, I was surprised diversity on the shelves. Which just is not honey! And every sort is useful in its own way.
Lime honey has anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, expectorant and diaphoretic action. It is indispensable in the treatment of colds, as well as in inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, kidney and gall bladder.
Clover honey is also used in the treatment of pulmonary and colds and is considered a good expectorant and diaphoretic.
Acacia honey is famous for its antimicrobial properties. It is also recommended as a sedative for insomnia and nervous diseases.
Donnikovyymed dilutes the blood, increases circulation, reduces inflammation of internal organs. It is used as a diuretic, expectorant, and analgesic.
Buckwheat honey is recommended for anemia, because it includes a lot of iron, and vitamins and minerals. Therefore, it is shown in beriberi, for the treatment of bleeding and improvement of capillary permeability.
Sunflower honey has a unique ability to excrete toxins. Yet it is used for colds, liver disease, neuralgia, heart disease, atherosclerosis, and stomach cramps.
Field of medical herbs well calms nerves, relieves headaches and insomnia.
Interested me and honey with additives. On this issue, I asked for explanations from the old beekeeper.
It turns out that they are suspicious of such varieties of honey. Often it is simply the mass of sweet, flavored with sugar syrup or stuffed with chemicals. It turns out, the price is high, but good enough.
Hence, we need all the same honey passport?
Absolutely. Certificate and a certificate is confirmation that the honey does not contain impurities, and has allowed moisture. About this desire to learn more. I did not know that the moisture content of honey should not exceed 21%.
If it is, so honey "raw" and took him away from the bees, not waiting for maturation. This product is perishable (sour) and not subject to any storage.
Even with the beekeeper must be a veterinary opinion that the bees in his apiary are not sick. Of course, patients treated with bees, and, unfortunately, their drugs get into the honey, but we do use together with honey.
Honey, I bought a plastic container. It can not pour into another bowl. Still, most experts believe that the aluminum or glass containers is the most suitable.
In a short time (2-3 months), and honey can thicken. This process is called crystallization, it should not cause concern. Who likes to use liquid honey, he can melt it on a steam bath, but no warmer than 40 degrees. No longer, because the beneficial properties of honey at high heat lost.
In general, honey - a product of modest and can be stored at room temperature, but should avoid exposure to direct sunlight.
However, along with high quality and regular honey is still wrong and honey.
How to tell him?
1. Scoop spoon honey and lift higher, so that it flowed down stream. Even if you raise the spoon of 1.5-2 meters, the jet should not be interrupted.
2. Honey, having a composition of additives (starch, sugar, chalk, etc.), and may have a muddy sediment.
3. Drip honey on a piece of paper absorbs moisture (eg, school blotter). If it will be spread to form a wet spot, then it's wrong honey.
4. Can be diluted with a little honey in distilled water and drip a few drops of iodine there (drops five). If the solution turns blue, it means starch. If instead of iodine drip vinegar, and the solution was hissing, then there is a honey and chalk.
5. Take the wire, stainless steel, heat the plate to her, drop a couple of seconds and remove the honey. If the wire hang sticky mass, then you have a fake. If the wire will remain pure - natural honey.
