Have you ever wondered if the honey you are buying is truly what
it attests to be on its label, that is, "pure",
"natural", "raw", or straight from the hive? It
appears that most honey products on the market in South Africa,
despite what their labels claim, contain a spoonful of sugar or
syrup, or three (and I'm talking tablespoons!), and do not have
the health benefits that truly pure or raw honey affords its
consumers. Discerning honey buyers are looking for honey products
that are truly unadulterated so as to maximise the healing and
medicinal properties that "raw" and "pure"
honey contains.
Did you know that there are various pieces of legislation in
place in South Africa that aim to assist with prevention of rogue
honey products that are widely available for sale, even at the most
seemingly credible health and/or retail stores, and are not quite
what they claim to be on their labels – "natural",
"raw" or "pure"?
