Organic Honey: Benefits and Characteristics You Need to Know

Organic honey is rich in natural nutrients and minerals that give its beneficial properties. Some of the various health benefits you can get from it are the following:

Research shows that two teaspoons of honey can be just as effective in suppressing coughs as dextromethorphan, an ingredient commonly found in cough medications.

Honey's antimicrobial properties can directly fight cough-causing pathogens, and its thick consistency can coat and soothe the irritated throat. Unlike over-the-counter cough medicines, honey offers efficient and immediate relief without the risk of potential side effects.

According to studies, honey can help regulate your heartbeat, lower blood pressure, and protect healthy cells. Doing so can reduce the risk of heart failure and improve the organ's overall function.

In addition, some raw Honey Singapore contains a compound known as propolis. It's a resin-like substance that can help fight viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Moreover, propolis can also improve triglyceride and cholesterol levels to lessen the chances of developing stroke or high blood pressure.

Knowing the benefits of organic honey, it’s clear to see why it tops the list of the best honey products in Singapore. But if you’re not familiar with how to distinguish it from the others, you may make the mistake of choosing the wrong product.

So, take a look at some of the unique characteristics of organic honey you need to pay attention to:

Perhaps the easiest way to single out organic honey from other types is to look for organic certification on its package.

The stamp guarantees that the honey product passed through various government-issued tests. It also ensures that the product does not contain any artificial additives.

While the organic stamp may vary depending on the honey’s country of origin, some of the organic stamps you can watch out for in Singapore include NASAA and BioGro.

Before receiving an organic seal, laboratories will test the product for pesticide or chemical residues.

Even if the beekeepers in honey farms practice organic agricultural methods, their products can still contain toxic residues if they are nearby other farms that use pesticides and chemicals. That said, beekeepers must meet specific testing criteria to ensure their products' purity and organic quality.

Without additives and preservatives, the natural taste of pure, organic honey is not diluted. As a result, many consumers say that organic honey is richer and more flavourful than regular honey.

In terms of texture and colour, organic honey is thicker and more opaque. You can test the texture by flipping the bottle upside down. The bubbles in organic honey will move much slower than regular ones because of their thicker consistency.

So, no matter what your taste and preferences are, you're sure to find the perfect honey in Nature's Glory.
