It is characteristic that there is no sediment and no foam in it.

By consistency, white varieties are viscous, viscous. Some of them, during prolonged storage, preserve their initial liquid state for a long time, do not crystallize. Others, on the contrary, quickly pass into the solid phase.

After sugaring, white honey acquires a loose, pasty structure, less firm than that of dark varieties. The mass looks unusual and even unusual, but this is a feature of the product.

The honey composition is distinguished by its delicate refined taste, it is moderately sweet, but not cloying. The aroma is intense, strong; memorable, enjoyable.

All of them have a mild but stable sedative effect, help people stay calm during periods of stress, cope with insomnia, and overcome depression.

How such a product is made

What is white honey made of? To get such products in an apiary, it is necessary that bees collect nectar from certain honey plants. There is a group of plants, when selectively flying around which insects bring to the hive and make honey of a light color. If there are many such melliferous plants, the family stores stocks exclusively from them.

The honey is folded and sealed in combs. It is especially important here that during the collection in the area of \u200b\u200bflights of worker bees there are no other flowers, the nectar of which stains the finished substance in a dark color. This will ruin the look of honey, and it will no longer be the same.

To obtain a pure white product, the preparatory work in the apiary correctly carried out by the beekeeper is of great importance. If there are extensive plantations of the necessary melliferous plants in the district that can interest insects, the apiary is taken out in advance and placed near such plantings. The insects do the rest. The beekeeper has to withdraw pure natural white honey at the end of the bribe.

There is another way to offer the bees to collect light honey plants and get the highest quality product. Beekeepers specially plant large areas with the desired crop. Insects, having a decent food base nearby, fly only there to prepare supplies. In general, it is almost impossible to obtain one-component honey, which consists of one raw material. It is a complex and time consuming process. Yes, and you cannot order bees to take nectar from those flowers from which a person wants.

Varieties and honey plants

Today, light varieties can be found on sale at markets, honey fairs, specialty stores and retail outlets selling food. When buying a jar of sweetness, you can see that the contents resemble a white paste. Why is honey white and thick?

It should be so. After pumping out of the combs, any product is liquid. Over time, it changes its structure and becomes denser. This is called crystallization or sugaring. This state is an indicator of the naturalness of the substance and the fact that it has not been subjected to heat treatment.

Considered gourmet honey.

Honey is not only a noble delicacy, but also incredible valuable product... There are many varieties of honey. Today we will talk about white honey. Does it really exist or is it a deliberate marketing ploy? If so, why does it have a rich white hue? Similar questions arise in almost all people who first met face to face, so to speak, with this type of honey.

Agree that this curiosity is understandable. When we think about honey, we all think of it as a viscous mass that has a rich amber color or various shades of brown. White honey is much less common, but it is still there. In addition, there are many varieties of white honey today.

The white product of beekeeping is the most common honey, but which is characterized by a white color. But why he is white is much more difficult to answer. Does it immediately turn white after the bees collect flower nectar, or does it undergo some structural changes over time, and why?

All varieties of this product can be obtained as a result of collecting nectar by bees. certain melliferous plants, for example: fragrant linden flowers, white acacia, raspberries, fireweed flowers of a narrow-leaved lilac shade, lilac-violet alfalfa flowers, camel thorn, cotton, white clover, sainfoin, Bashkir rose and ak-kurai.

Product properties

When purchasing a new product in a store for yourself, you should ask why honey is white and thick:

The technology that allows you to turn ordinary honey into cream is quite common among beekeepers in Canada and is not a secret. This technology successfully conquers the world. What needs to be done to implement this technique?

1. Natural honey is placed in large containers and kept for about two weeks at low temperatures (12-14 degrees), and then thoroughly mixed until a homogeneous cream is obtained at a temperature not higher than 28C;
2. Sometimes a shrunken product is added to fresh honey, observing a ratio of 1 to 9. This contributes to the acceleration of processes: it must be stirred for a long time at high speeds until the desired consistency is obtained.

Summing up the results of this section, I would like to note that all the useful properties of such a product are not lost, and the use becomes more convenient. The cost price of creamy honey is higher than that of regular honey.

If white honey is called that, this does not mean that it exists of one type. Under one name combine different varietieswhich are white or conventionally white. Each of them differs in its composition, smell, color, consistency and taste. Each of these features is due to the properties of the flowers from which the nectar was collected by the bees.

The vast majority of them are common varieties that are produced everywhere, for example, sweet clover or rapeseed oximel. The best of its kind are raspberry, pure linden, angelica, white acacia, Bashkir rose and fireweed honey.

This variety is quite rare, which has a surprisingly thick and creamy appearance, like butter, the taste is delicate and soft with a pronounced scent of raspberry flowers... Despite the fact that raspberries grow in many places, this variety in its pure form comes across quite rarely.

Fresh raspberry honey has light tones with a golden hue. During crystallization, the structure and color of the product undergoes changes (it becomes creamy like butter).

This unique product is not only extremely tasty, but also very helpful... As a rule, they treat colds, as well as ailments that affect the organs of the human respiratory system.

It is possible to make such a variety thanks to flowering lindens, which occupy an honorable first place among melliferous plants. But does it have features inherent only in this variety?

Yes, this oxymel has a specific and rather sharp aroma, it also tastes unusual, it resembles oil in consistency, has a light, sometimes amber shadeIt crystallizes excellently and rather quickly turns into a solid form, forming crystals of various sizes.

Varieties from Bashkiria are unique beekeeping products, which are made from high-quality nectar collected by bees in forests full of melliferous medicinal plants. Bashkir oxymel is extremely nutritious, dense, contains a small amount of water, transparent with inherent notes of pale yellow shades.

In this product from Bashkiria, all components (nectar, pollen, honey) are medicinal and extremely beneficialtherefore this variety is very much appreciated all over the world. It is not made on an industrial scale, so the cost of this variety is quite high.

This variety is perhaps the most rare of all the existing ones.

Fresh beekeeping product possesses greenish tint and has an external resemblance to ghee or cream.

The crystallization process is extremely fast, resulting in the formation of crystals of various sizes, like snowflakes.

Useful properties and contraindications of the product

The beneficial properties and individual taste characteristics of each species are different, first of all, because the nectar of different medicinal plants, as a rule, is collected by bees, the properties of which are then transferred to beekeeping products.

White honey

This feature allows the use of various varieties in an effective fight against colds, angina, bronchitis and cough, and also serves as an impeccable immunomodulatory agent, helps to improve the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.

As for contraindications, they are still available. Despite the large number of useful properties, sweet medicine can cause significant damage to human health.

There are varieties in the composition, which contain biologically active components that can cause a strong allergic reaction. They are usually caused by the presence of pollen grains and carbohydrates.

1. Before using the product for the first time, we strongly recommend that you do an allergy test.
