I think it’s kind of cool that ancient Egyptian honey is still edible.
Today of course, there’s fake honey that’s made from corn syrup. (The sun god, Ra would throw a hissy fit.) There’s also filtered honey which is honey, but it’s ultra processed so it doesn’t crystallize so easily.
Why is it we always have to improve on the original?
If you want the real stuff, look for raw or unfiltered honey. The pollen is what gives honey its health benefits. The ancient Egyptians would approve.
Hmm…you’d think the ancient Egyptians would’ve had a bee god.
Do you eat honey? We bought some a few years ago that’s as thick as paste, but oh, so good.

fake honey
that is so so wrong
Mac: I’d read that the way to spot real honey from fake honey is to pour it into water.
Fake honey will start to dissolve. Real honey will hold together.
Never heard of fake honey, but hope I don’t; sounds nasty! Ever occasionally we will have a recipe that has honey in it, but otherwise don’t do much with it

Betty: Ironically, I use honey more for when I have a cold or sore throat. It’s very soothing on the throat.
