Honey is brewed by bees collecting plant nectar. According to the different sources of honey, there are Acacia honey, jujube honey, linden honey, etc. Let’s take a look at the difference between white honey and honey!
Different definitions
White honey and honey are quite different in definition. Honey refers to honey that bees collect nectar and brew mature viscous liquid, while white honey refers to honey that is white in color after natural crystallization. Therefore, from the definition of the two, white honey must be honey. However, the natural crystallization of honey may not necessarily be white, for example, buckwheat honey, sunflower honey and other honey species are amber after crystallization.
Different sources of honey
There are obvious differences in nectar source between white honey and honey. The nectar source of honey contains almost all the plants that can secrete nectar, but there are not many nectar source plants that can produce white honey. The most famous one is the linden honey in Northeast China.
Different nutrition
There is a slight difference in nutrition between white honey and honey. Among them, white honey may have higher nutritional value, but this is not absolute. For example, the Polyflower honey brewed from Baihua by Zhongbee is better than most white honeys. In fact, all natural The main components of mature honey are glucose and fructose. The difference between different honey species is only that the content of glucose and fructose is slightly different.
The price is different
The price of white honey and honey may be different. Among them, the price of white honey may be more expensive than that of ordinary honey, because the lighter the color is, the better the taste is. Therefore, under the same conditions, white honey may be more expensive than ordinary honey. Honey is more popular with consumers, but this is not absolute. For example, amber-colored jujube honey is more expensive than most white honeys.
To sum up, the difference between white honey and honey is impossible to tell clearly, the reason is that white honey is actually a honey with white crystals, but from the perspective of generality, white honey is better than ordinary honey, and when consumers buy honey, Also prefer white honey.
