they don't seem to sell groceries online
No honey is 100%
I was thinking similarly. 100% what?
100% made from bees
Bee vomit.
@altomic: Humans using (exploiting) animals, insects, plants for their own benefit (beyond what's really necessary), or life in the hive? Bees have complex and extremely interesting societies.
false advertising then?
Why?
They all lie to you about something.
That's a cynical lie.
Damn beat me too it, great price compared to the $10 min at colesworths. Can't remember what a key of the sticky icky goes for @ Aldi.
Honey is not sold by the litre. You can go have a look now on coles or woolies site and look at any honey. they are sold by weight (gm/kg).
You're right; I stand corrected. I always buy honey in farmers markets, and vaguely remember it always being sold by volume, not weight (as they simply use the container volume, instead of weighing each different recycled jar one by one).
Trouble with honey like this is it’s not raw. It’s been heat treated so a lot of the medicinal qualities have been destroyed. Still tastes good though
Raw honey does not store well as it contains bugs
Protein?
Gordon Ramsay might approve
How do you know it has been heat extracted? Could have used cold extraction (centrifuge method)
You know by the price.
But who is applying honey topically?
If you eat it you will lose the medicinal qualities.
Well yes…
If you eat 339g of Raw Honey, you will get 5% of your iron intake.
You will also likely put yourself in the hospital from eating that much honey.
Literally the worst food in a supermarket will have more nutrients.
@samfisher5986: "Iron"?? No. Calcium, magnesium, manganese, niacin, pantothenic acid, phosphorous, potassium, riboflavin, zinc, yes; iron no. But basic nutrition is not the main benefit of honey:
Research shows¹ that antioxidant compounds in raw honey called polyphenols have anti-inflammatory effects that could be beneficial in protecting against a number of conditions associated with oxidative stress. … Research² has shown that the propolis in raw honey has antifungal and antibacterial properties.³ (healthline)
@wisdomtooth: This might also be of interest. Heat doesn't necessarily equate to loss of antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory efficacy in honey although it appears unprocessed "medical" honey is used in hospitals.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3406342/
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18955301/@Igaf: From you 1st link:
Processing was usually detrimental to antimicrobial activity… Heat processing should be reduced where possible
Not sure what you're on about, mate. (The 2nd link is a paid advert for Medihoney in scientific paper form.)
@wisdomtooth: The summary in the first link was self-explanatory. The clue was in my second sentence above. I thought you might want to know a little more but cynicism is almost invariably an impediment to learning. You appear to have some set against medical honey despite its documented success, in some cases where drugs have failed. Any reason for that or is it another blind spot like your scorn for vegans?
100% inane comment, even by Ozbargain standards
You mean like my Gooci slippers?
Really? Since when is Australia part of China?
The day Dan took office.
Product label
"100% Pure Australian Honey"
"Product of Australia"If you are alleging Honeysmith are making fraudulent claims on their food labelling, that is an extremely serious accusationCounterfeit honey aint exactly a “new” phenomenon
Where can I get good hot honey?
tinder.com
This or mad honey recommended by Joe Rogan?
Search your local area and can almost guarantee you will find a local bee keeper. Mine sells for $10 a kg.
Are you sure s/he sells per kg, not per litre? $10/kg is actually ~$14/L.
Honey is normally sold per/Kg. I used to get mine from a keeper using a 20ltr brewing barrel.
Definetely per kg :)
A decent price for aussie honey.
Seems HoneySmith is owned by Juane Pty Ltd, very little information available except it's run by a couple of people who've been in the Aus honey distribution industry for a while. One worked for Capilano and the other for some small companies.
used it for BBQ honey pork rib
Raw (unpasteurized) honey can naturally crystalises when it gets cold (~<30c).
Retailers don’t want this, so if it’s most likely pasteurized, which obviously removes the beneficial part.
It’s also blended and produced likely a long way away to maintain a consistent and appealing colour, flavor (little), and consistency. Local honey has been proven to have health benefits (and for me always tastes better). Like wine, honey changes with the seasons and every harvest is a limited edition.
I’d encourage everyone to support their local beekeeper. Find them on FB marketplace.
This is not an advert, but for comparison we sell local, seasonal honey in returnable glass jars for $14/kg year round. We harvest small batches and every one tastes different.
Yes, more than Costco, but there’s a big difference.
$14/kg is the fair market value for local raw honey where we are, in the Sunshine Coast. Sometimes I find it for $12, but most often people are trying to rip off 50-100% more (most likely reselling other people's honey).
i will try on tuesday, i avoid costco on the weekends. i don't like standing in line to checkout for 2 hours.
Who eats honey that often? I know that honey IS natural sugar, but as far as your fillings are concerned, it's still sugar.
"Fillings"; wut?? All sugar is natural (though it may be industrially processed). And honey doesn't feed bacteria (bees are not that evolutionarily stupid). Eating too much honey is indeed a problem, bc it is a carbohydrate, but:
- It lasts long enough; the enzymes bees secrete into it make sure of that; and
- People have families.
Only bought one but this is a stellar price. I'll get some local honey next time (the bee kind) when this is used up.
Can't believe vegans are also against honey. That's a bit much imo.
Vegans! 😄
Who cares what they think? (other than other vegans) It's religion (a misanthropic one).
Ignorance and stereotyping are already plagues on our society, no need for you to add to them here.
Hey
Works online too?
