Rapeseed Honey

Rapeseed honey 🍯

Rapeseed honey is the most common type of honey in Germany, where the bright yellow rapeseed fields dominate our landscape in spring. Originally, rapeseed was only used as lamp fuel, but since the 1970s it has also been grown as a food crop. Today, rapeseed is an important crop that is sown in August to bloom in spring and provide bees with energy. 🌼🐝

Special features of rapeseed honey:

Rapeseed honey is a healthy alternative to sugar. It contains high-quality glucose and crystallizes quickly, which means it needs to be stirred regularly to achieve a creamy consistency. Immediately after harvest, the honey has a golden color that changes as it crystallizes. 💛🔄

Occurrence and quality:

Rapeseed honey comes from rapeseed fields all over Germany. It is also available in organic quality, although bees fly up to three kilometers and do not always collect organic nectar. 🌱🍯

Taste and use:

Rapeseed honey is sweet, mild and has a fine, creamy consistency that is particularly popular with children. It is ideal as a sweetener for tea, desserts or natural yoghurt. 😋🍓

Purchase recommendation:

High-quality rapeseed honey is almost white and often comes from the northern regions of Germany. It is sold in 500-gram jars. 🏅🍯

Conclusion:

Rapeseed honey is a versatile honey with a fine, creamy consistency and mild taste, ideal for breakfast rolls, tea or yoghurt. 🌞🥄

Note: Test a small amount before use to avoid possible allergic reactions.
