Are you sure the person you are buying the honey from, is actually extracting, spinning and straining it him/herself?
If you are. Great! Mass market stuff, not so much.
I heard you want to find a source of honey produced as close to where you live as possible so it contains pollens you would be exposed to. Helps with allergies.
Lol
I worked at Citrus World (formerly known as Donald Duck Plant) in Lake Wales, FL for years. It now produces Florida’s Natural and various restaurant commercial brands. They cook that stuff at high temps for the pasteurization process. The gawd awful smells travels for miles. They dump all kinds of stuff back in it because the high temp kills any original orange juice flavor. Oh, and when no-one is looking, lots of sugar! I won’t drink concentrate or anything from a box or plastic jug if I don’t squeeze it myself!
The best tasting honey that I have ever encountered was labeled as being from poison oak (this was many years ago, in Oregon). I don’t know if eating this honey would produce an allergic reaction, as I seem to be immune to poison oak, or at least have never had a reaction during some 30 years of playing, hunting, and working in the woods of Western Oregon. Should have tried some out on my eldest brother, who will break out if you show him a reasonably accurate drawing of a poison oak leaf.
Paranoia and irrational fear kills
The quest for a threat free life is unjustified. Those who don’t build immunity will be subject to death by an attack from out of the blue.
Living “Monks” life will kill you
Thank you, Aruanan. I am sticking with the frozen. It is just way more convenient for me and it is a bonus that there is less oxidation and vitamin loss!
“... made great orange cookies that called for zest...”
You can add orange or lemon zest to cheesecake as well. YUM..... cheesecake!
We've got two varieties of orange, two varieties of grapefruit and one tangerine.
I told him to leave my oj tree alone, and when I came back from work, he turned my oj tree into a joshua tree, the oj tree never came back.
I have one Satsuma tree about 20 years old. A grapefruit I planted about 4 years ago. And this spring I planted another tangerine and a navel orange I picked up at the tree sale at the U of H. I can’t wait until they start producing. This is my first year I’ve gotten any meaningful grapefruit.
This year was so dry. My Satsuma has a full crop, but they are smaller than usual. I just couldn’t water it enough with water restrictions and all in Houston.
Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it.
Several members of my family have admitted that they like eating orange peels.
Citrus zest is used in a lot of recipes.
It has sparked my interest. I may try it myself.
“Calcium sulfate is gypsum is wallboard.”
It’s also the natural feature, White Sands National Monument. So it’s used in wallboard too? Never going back to White Sands! Too dangerous!
This is nothing but an alarmist article as after 7 paragraphs it still did not even mention what the additive is they are talking about.
Because they are not adding anything.
I've tasted both, and cannot tell the difference. Both are vile liquids that bear no resemblance whatsoever to apples.
Love your sense of humor about your brother LOL. Have a Merry Christmas and healthy happy New Year. GG
That sounds like a good idea...yummy...GG
