Honey with the addition of zabrus is considered an effective remedy for the treatment of diseases. It has antibacterial, healing and strengthening properties, normalizes the flow of metabolic processes and improves the state of the nervous system. Why foreign honey is so highly regarded, you will learn in this article.
What honey is called foreign?
Honeycomb caps are considered to be the overflow, with which bees seal honey. In another way, they are also called the signet.
Honey, which is stored under such conditions, is more saturated with useful substances. Some beekeepers say that the signet helps honey to fully ripen, which explains its high value.
Thanks to the zabrusom, honey has a special taste and retains useful properties longer.
Specifications
During the collection of honey, beekeepers cut the barrels, not more than 1 mm, and allow honey to drain. After this, part of the product is left in the hive so that the bees can make new honeycombs, while the other is collected and used for medicinal purposes.
Sometimes the corn is crushed using a honey extractor, but it is believed that honey, in which the corn remains pieces, is considered to be of higher value.
Unfortunately, a lot of beekeepers are not aware of the beneficial properties of zabrus, so they simply throw it away during honey selection. It is not surprising that under such conditions, foreign honey is considered scarce and appreciated truly highly.
Foreign honey has the following characteristics:
- Colour. Depends on the bees, the plants from which it was extracted, and even the weather conditions during harvesting. As a rule, it acquires a very light, almost white color with a slight tinge of yellowness. But sometimes you can see dark foreign honey, similar in color to dark brown.
- Taste. It also largely depends on the conditions listed. It is noteworthy that if honey was scrolled using a honey extractor, then its taste characteristics slightly change. It becomes less saturated. But it does not lose its properties.
- Smell. Here, the variety also plays a significant role. For example, in sunflower honey, the aroma will be light and subtle, but in buckwheat, it will be strong and rich.
- Crystallization. It should be borne in mind that mustard honey crystallizes in a matter of days, while in the flower this process proceeds much more slowly. The presence of zabrus does not affect this process.
- Consistency. Foreign honey is a denser mass, uniform in consistency. Often in it you can find pieces of zabrus.
Special composition
The composition of foreign honey is considered unique. In many ways, it depends on:
- breeds of bees that produced honey;
- places where insects live and the apiary is located.
Among its components:
- beeswax;
- pollen;
- enzymes that secrete the salivary glands of bees;
- propolis;
- perga.
Foreign honey retains the components that are mostly lost during the pumping out of regular honey.
Also, honey contains many other useful substances:
- vitamins A and C;
- essential oils;
- organic acids;
- proteins, carbohydrates and fats.
