Honeycomb honey: how to consume it
We know there are many types of honey in the world, but did you know about honeycomb honey? If you want to learn more about this product, stay tuned for more!
Fresh lavender honey from the comb is a type of monofloral honey made by bees from the nectar of the lavender plant's flowers.
It is one of the purest and most natural products available. It contains raw, unprocessed honey, directly from the honeycomb, maintaining all its properties and benefits.
This honey is based on wax cells built by bees inside the honeycomb, collected and bottled so you can enjoy it completely natural.
Its flavor is more unique and intense than that of filtered honey, as it contains all its essential nutrients.
HOW TO EAT HONEYCOMB HONEY?
You may have seen this type of honey in stores or supermarkets, but have wondered how to consume it.
The truth is, although it may seem tedious, it's easier than you think; it just takes a little patience.
Eating honeycomb honey is very simple: chew a piece of honeycomb, squeezing out the honey inside, or you can scrape the honeycomb with a spoon to extract the liquid.
Once the honey is extracted, any wax that doesn't melt properly can be discarded or consumed, although in this case, it's recommended to do so in small quantities.
By consuming honey directly from the honeycomb, you'll be taking advantage of all its nutrients and properties, which is very beneficial from a nutritional point of view.
