One of the honey products produced by the labor of worker bees is comb honey. This type of honey differs in shape and consistency from others, as worker bees present it in a hexagonal form during production. Comb honey is the pre-filtered state of honey before extraction. Its more natural appearance increases the likelihood of preference compared to strained honey. Additionally, its solid nature distinguishes it from other types of honey, as it can be chewed and consumed.
The price of comb honey varies in the market. Despite being produced with significant effort in a natural environment, this type of honey is cost-effective. There are some factors that determine its price, such as weight, the region it is produced in, and the method of production. The comb honey products produced by Toros Mountain Honey are presented to consumers at the most natural region of Mersin.
The production method is the key factor determining comb honey prices. Comb honey produced using the most natural methods and environments may be more costly compared to other types of honey. Considering the importance of natural production for human health, it becomes apparent that it is not overly expensive. Toros Mountain Honey offers comb honey products to consumers at very reasonable costs.
Comb Honey Varieties Comb honey varieties are fundamentally the same but differ in weight. Two different comb honey varieties are offered, ranging from 1500 grams to 2100-2300 grams. It might be a better decision for those who want to try it for the first time to start with 1500 grams.
Comb honey has a slightly different taste compared to strained honey. This honey type has a less sweet taste and a more solid consistency, not being as fluid as other honeys. It does not significantly raise blood sugar levels due to its lower sweetness. It may be suitable for individuals aiming to lose weight, as it is less sweet than other honeys.
The amount of comb honey to be consumed depends on the individual's calorie needs and general health condition. There is also a difference in consumption between adults and children. The daily consumption of comb honey for adults is 6-10 teaspoons, which is approximately 50 to 80 grams. For children weighing 20 kg and above, 3 teaspoons are considered suitable. It should not be given to children under the age of 1.
The calorie content of comb honey is not different from strained honey. While 100 grams of comb honey contain 304 calories, 1 tablespoon has 64 calories. Consumption based on calories, considering the individual's daily energy needs, would be appropriate. Completely natural and low-sugar comb honey products are offered to all consumers under the assurance of Toros Mountain Honey.
