Wescobee Wild Forest Honey
34 days agoBought this while it was on offer at NTUC. I believe for about S$10 for this 1kg bucket of honey. If I am not wrong, this can be found in most supermarkets in Singapore. Nothing too special about this honey, even though it is from Australia. Not from China but from Australia. I feel much better buying things made in Australia than from China. It gives me a sense of peace as foodstuff from China has such a bad reputation. And you should be able to guess what I am going to be making from this honey right? Yes, mead – honey wine – nectar of the gods – whatever. The only problem I foresee with using this honey is that it is pretty dark in colour. I like my mead golden not brownish which does not appeal to the drinker, especially in Singapore where we all like things bright and light (like our lagers).
One bucket of 1kg Wescobee Wild Forest Honey. I am guessing they meant the honey is gathered from the forest and the honey bees are not domesticated (so to speak). I think it is a good think as you will never know what kind of antibotics and chemicals bee keepers use to keep their honey bees alive. Of course you will not have a consistent honey flavour.
Check it out – Wecobee Wild Forest 100% pure Australian honey. 1 kg net. That bee looks very happy. And we love happy bees, don’t we? Happy bees produce great tasting honey for us to enjoy.
Wecobee have carefully selected this special lot of 100% pure Australian honey for you to enjoy. Fantastic for healthy living, active sports people and cooking. Nice. We have developed this pack as a handy and attractive storage container when empty. The pack is microwaveable, freezer friendly and then the lid will come off easily. Hmmm….I don’t know about that, but this is indeed a plus point. You can reuse the plastic bucket. Suggested honey uses: Use on cereals, desserts, smoothies. Add to your tea or coffee. Use on your carrots, in cooking or straight as it is for a quick energy pick me up. Carrots? Who put honey on their carrots.
Some nutrition information for you. Seems that 82% of this honey is sugar. But not just plain table sugar (sucrose) but a mix of different types of sugar (both complex and simple) which is a good thing. Full of nutrients, minerals and vitamins. Definitely better than table sugar my friends. Think of ways to replace your regular sugar with honey.
Yes, pretty dark isn’t it? I don’t know why but all the buckets of this brand at NTUC looks pretty dark. Some people claim that darker colour honeys means that they have much more flavour. Although I don’t disagree with that but sometimes it could be due to the storing condition of the honey. If it is kept in a warm place, the honey will darken.
Anyway, I will be making mead from this real soon. Will keep you guys updated.
