Basic introduction of Changning soil honey

Honey is also known as winter brewing. Mainly due to the arduous process of collecting and brewing bees. The famous Song Dynasty poet Su Zhe said, "Tu Su liquor is brewed at the bottom of the well and soaked in old formulas, while Qiong liquor is brewed and pressed at the head of the bed in winter." This means that the Tu Su liquor brewed in the wine cellar according to traditional methods, combined with some honey, has a taste that surpasses the fine wine consumed by immortals. The winter brew in the word specifically refers to honey

Pure native honey is collected from flowers and gathers the essence of flowers. It is light amber in color, easy to crystallize, good in texture, sweet and slightly bitter in taste

How to distinguish the authenticity of Changning earth honey

First, look at the color of honey. Pure honey has a transparent luster, with only a small amount of pollen residue suspended in it, and no other excessive impurities. The color of honey varies depending on the source and plant, but honey in the same bottle should have a uniform color

Secondly, smell and smell: the scent of honey. After opening the bottle, fresh honey has a distinct floral aroma, while aged honey has a lighter fragrance. The smell of false honey made with essence is uncomfortable. Single nectar has the fragrance of its nectar source itself

3. Tasting: Taste the taste of honey. Pure honey not only has a pleasant aroma, but also has a strong aroma when tasted. Place honey on the tongue and place it against the upper jaw. The honey slowly enters the throat and feels slightly sweet and slightly sour, with a delicate taste and a slightly spicy aftertaste. After adulteration, the above feeling becomes lighter in honey, and it has a sweet and watery taste, as well as a stronger sour or salty taste

Fourth, check the moisture content of honey. In our country, it is common to obtain immature honey, so honey has a high water content. The honey sold in the market is mostly processed and concentrated, with relatively low moisture content. When using chopsticks or fingers to pick up honey, it is best if the honey can be brushed without any pulling phenomenon, indicating a high water content. You can also drop a drop of honey on the tissue paper. If the water stains are easy to spread, it indicates a high water content. Pure honey is spherical in shape and does not spread<5. Twisting: Observe and feel the crystallization situation. In summer, the temperature is high and honey is not easy to crystallize; In winter, the temperature is low and honey is prone to crystallization. Some honey is prone to crystallization, while others are not suitable for crystallization. Some people have a misconception about honey crystallization, thinking that a single crystal is fake honey or adulterated, which is incorrect. Honey crystals are in the form of fish seeds or oil, delicate, white in color, and have no sand texture when twisted by hand. The crystals are easy to melt in the mouth. Honey mixed with sugar crystallizes in granular form, with a sand like texture when twisted by hand, and is not easily crushed. It has a sweet taste when tasted

Sixth, Dissolve: Dissolve honey in water, stir evenly, and let it stand. If there are impurities in the honey, it will float or sink. Honey is a natural product, and a small amount of impurities does not affect the quality of honey itself

Tasting and eating methods of Changning earth honey

One warm water rinse: Honey is best diluted with warm water or cold water below 40 ℃ before taking, especially in hot summer. Drinking honey with cold water can relieve heat and fever, making it a great cool and healthy beverage<47. Honey can also be mixed with cold dishes or consumed with mineral water or purified water, with a fragrant and delicious taste and rich nutrition

Three doses: Adults are more suitable to take 20-50 grams of honey per day. When using honey as medicine for treatment, the maximum amount should not exceed 200 grams. It should be taken twice in the morning and twice in the evening or three times in the morning, middle, and evening. It is better for children to take 30 grams per day, and infants under 1 year old should not take bees
