Rape Honey

Main origin: China, Japan

Camouflage period: spring

Flavor characteristics: It is easy to crystallize and crystallize honey, with rapeseed

As the name suggests, rape is a plant for oil extraction. It is a very good source of honey for beekeepers who move bees. Unlike other species that bloom in the spring of the same period, it has a longer flowering period and can be opened until May. Japanese rapeseed cultivation has been decreasing, and the corresponding rapeseed honey production has also declined. The biggest characteristic of rapeseed honey is that it is easy to crystallize. It will crystallize after being shaken from the hive for a few days. The main reason is that the proportion of glucose in the component is relatively large, and the pollen content is high. The crystallization does not mean that the honey is not good. This misunderstanding should be clear. Another characteristic of rapeseed honey is that it has a much higher pollen content than other single nectar. Pollen is undoubtedly a health food that regulates gastrointestinal function and reduces prostate hypertrophy.
