dear khong,
i buy ur honey few month ago, it never occur to me to test the honey,but my friend ask me to do so, just for fun...
so i run some simple test on your honey and repeat it twice actually..
here was the result:
1) drop in hot water(pure honey wont dissolve quickly) >>FAIL
2) ANT >>PASS
3) drop on paper(pure honey wont make 2nd ring) >>PASS
4) pour on plate and run with water>>FAIL it just dissolve without forming any shape
5) match>> PASS the match lit up
6) mix with egg yolk>> FAIL nothing happen
dear Jay56
Thk you for ur info. Ha I have a 50% pass. perhaps i will try to answer some of the failed test to my best knowledge. As you understand, i had told most of my customers that our local honey, is very inconsistent. The quality depends on the type of trees or shrubs the bees collect the honey from. The weather also plays an impt. part. In rainy days the honey is lighter, in hot weather the honey is sweeter etc. wh. I had said in my thread.
dissolving honey in hot water quickly depend on the honey collected at that point of time. There are times that the honey I got is thicker and the last time, the honey was just like water.
Honey forming any shape. i had heard of it, esp. those who went for a tour in Thailand where they put on a plate and the honey will form into a honey comb shape. I have no inkling abt. this but it definately was a marketing tool.
Mix honey with egg yolk. Suppose to cook the egg. Again I have no idea that this can happen.
The intention of me starting this honey thread more than one year ago was to keep readers informed abt things pertaining to honey.I feel the most impt. thing is that if I consume the honey and it benefits me I am ok with it. I have never encouraged anyone to buy from me and leave the decision to them. Buying and selling depends on whom you trust. I trust my supplier only and if he cannot supply me I do not sell. It is not a business to me as I had said time and again that what I dont sell I can consume by myself.
However, pl. dont misunderstand me. I am not defending myself or the honey. To readers, buy if you have confidence otherwise dont buy is always my key note.
regards.
