What is the price of pure natural honey?

There are many problems in the price of honey from the whole supply chain (honey source, bee species type, honey production cycle, collection process, etc.). ), and the price difference is often several times or even hundreds of times. Cheap ones can be sold to 9.9 yuan for a kilo, while expensive ones are as high as 2,000 yuan a kilo. What is the price of pure natural honey? Is it really that cheap? Or can it really cost as much as 2000 yuan? Let's get rid of the fog and get to know the quality and reasonable price of honey.

What is the difference between "honey" and "honey products"?

To understand the quality and reasonable price of honey, we must first know the difference between "honey" and "honey products", which many people don't know. According to EU standards, honey can only be called honey if it is completely collected from plants by bees without any artificial processing or additives. There is a lot of information in this sentence, which can be summarized as follows:

The honey source must be secreted by the nectaries of plants (it is not allowed to feed bees with white sugar);

Can't go through any artificial treatment (heating, concentration);

Can't contain any additives (add pollen essence, thickener, etc. Is not allowed);

Must be brewed by insects such as bees (artificial processing is not allowed);

Must be ripe honey (not covered by bees).

Then, many people will ask, what is a "honey product"? To sum up, anything that does not meet the above conditions can only be called "honey products". For example, honey products can only be called "honey products" by adding white sugar, industrial processing and concentration, and adding starch, sugar and thickener. Most honey products in our domestic market can only be called "honey products", and pure natural honey can hardly be bought. That's because our country's food safety standards don't set strict requirements on processing methods and maturity. Instead of just listing the standards on Baume degree (that is, concentration), this gives the producers a great space to display their fists and feet. Therefore, everyone must keep their eyes open when shopping, so as not to be deceived. What kind of honey is good?

Quality grade of honey

To understand the price of honey, we must first understand the quality grade of honey. The quality of honey varies greatly according to the origin, processing method and maturity.

The price of each kind of honey

Fake honey, more than 90% of a catty of 9 yuan sold on a treasure is this product.

Deep-processed honey (that is, honey products made by heating and concentrating water honey) generally sells for about 35-80 yuan. Supermarkets of all sizes sell them. This honey product is harmless to people. Think of it as dessert. Don't expect too much. The most valuable nutrients such as active enzymes and vitamins in honey are lost in industrial processing, and the nutritional value is almost zero.

Water honey, this kind of honey sells for 50~ 100 yuan, depending on how the seller "praises". This kind of honey is not fully brewed by bees, so it has low nutritional value, high water content, easy fermentation and cannot be stored for a long time.

Molasses, the price of this honey is between 50~ 120 yuan. On the surface, the cost of this honey is higher than the free nectar that bees fly out to collect. In fact, from the point of view of time and efficiency, this kind of honey has higher economic benefits. Because bees can collect "honey" without flying out of the nest, which greatly saves time and improves efficiency, so those mature honey that are sold cheaply come from this. In recent days, many popular honey nests are made in this way.

Cauliflower/fruit tree nectar, 70~ 150 yuan. In recent years, domestic products can be favored as long as they are marked with the words "agriculture" or "soil", and smart businesses naturally make a fuss here. Consumers don't know that this kind of honey is probably the most problematic honey (of course, there are many good honey). This kind of honey is mostly produced in cultivated crops, and there are many problems such as pesticide residues, fertilizer residues and antibiotics exceeding the standard. Of course, the possibility of water honey and molasses in this honey is not ruled out.

The price of mountain honey is generally between 150~300 yuan. It takes luck to buy this kind of honey. There are not many wild flowers that can really form a large-scale honey source. These honey sources belong to export honey sources or special honey sources, which are difficult for ordinary people or ordinary consumer markets to buy.

Wild mountain nectar/meadow nectar is a rare variety in the world, and only a few pure and pollution-free areas exist. Our country generally relies on imports, and the price is generally between 200 and 600 yuan.

After long-term study and investigation, Fan Fei team consulted a large number of authoritative materials at home and abroad, and learned the serious problems existing in the whole domestic honey industry. However, consumers are increasingly calling for high-quality products and decided to import high-quality pure natural honey from abroad to return to China. Fan Fei's team visited tens of thousands of kilometers and climbed thousands of meters of mountains, and finally found the Russian Caucasus Mountain, one of the top honey sources in Europe. Choose this pure natural and original ecological treasure land of 33~38 degrees north latitude and 2,000 ~ 3,000 meters above sea level as the honey source of Fan Fei, and cooperate deeply with the fourth generation of beekeepers. We are devout, and all our efforts are only to add a trace of pure sweetness to your life!
