Dosage , nutritional values and other important information about our honey

Max dosage of honey per day ( kids and adults )

Under 12 months: Do NOT give honey to this age group.

1  to 2 year-olds: max. 7 teaspoons (35 g) sugar , that is approximately 2 tablespoons (34 g) honey.

3  to 6 year-olds: max. 9 teaspoons (45 g) sugar , that is approximately 2 1/2 tablespoons (42.5 g) honey.

Over 6 years and adults: max. 11 teaspoons (55 g) sugar – approximately 3 tablespoons (51 g) honey ( a little over two tablespoons for women and three tablespoons for men )

The World Health Organization suggests that free sugars (which means all monosaccharides and disaccharides added to foods by the manufacturers, cooks, or during cooking at home, plus sugars naturally present in honey, syrups and fruit juices) make up no more than 10% of a person’s daily energy intake. The chemical energy contained in foods and drinks that can be metabolised to produce energy available to the body. For an adult requiring 2000 kcal a day, 10% equates to no more than 200 kcal from free sugars, which is about 60 grams of honey if honey is used as the unique external source of sugar in one’s diet.

Important notice:

Real , 100% Pure , Natural , Raw or Raw Filtered  Honey Crystallizes . And That’s A Good Thing.

LITTLE UNDERSTOOD. The CRYSTALLIZATION OF HONEY is little understood by the consuming public. Many assume that crystallized honey is adulterated or ‘spoiled.’ This is not so.
REAL, RAW HONEY CRYSTALLIZES .

The crystallization process is natural and spontaneous. Pure, raw and unheated honey has a natural tendency to crystallize over time with no effect on the honey other than color and texture.
What’s more, the crystallization of honey actually preserves the flavor and quality characteristics of your honey. Many honey users prefer it in this state as it is easier to spread on bread or toast. Indeed, some raw honey recipes can be easier to make with partially or fully-crystallized honey.

Crystallized honey also tastes richer. When the honey is in a crystallized state it takes longer to melt on your tongue, allowing all of your taste buds to activate and pick up on the subtleties.
Even if crystallized, it can be consumed normally, or heated in a water bath to 40ºC to return to its liquid state. It is important to be patient , take care not to heat it above 40ºC, as honey characteristics and properties can be compromised.
