Honey has an eternal shelf life when stored properly in ceramic or glass jars. Oldest edible honey known to mankind are the ones found inside pyramids

Crystallization

The crystallization of honey is little understood. Many assume that crystallized honey is adulterated or ‘spoiled’.

The crystallization process is natural & spontaneous. Pure, raw & unheated honey has a natural tendency to crystallize over time with no effect on the honey other than color & texture.

The crystallization of honey actually preserves the flavor and quality characteristics of your honey. Many honey users prefer it in this state as it is easier to spread on bread or toast

Viscosity

The viscosity of the honey is dependent on the weather conditions, the floral & the humidity of the region from were the Honey comes from. Tropical honey could be runnier, however, that doesn't make it diluted.

Not Just A Sweetener

Pure Honey is not just a sweetener its much more than that with very high health benefits. Like all-natural and unprocessed produce which is yum and healthy!!

Frothiness

What you're looking at is 'honey foam,' which is a result of the tiny air bubbles in the honey escaping to the top. This actually is a sign that the honey has been packed without any heating and thus pure and raw.

Honey in India is traditionally harvested from mid-February till the start of the rainy season. During rainy season bees go into hibernation and good beekeepers allow the bees to hibernate.

Taste

The honey taste is derived from the floral source. Depending on which flower is abundantly available the taste of the honey will vary.  So it comes in all tastes.

Organic

Organic honey for us is nectar sourced from organically grown flowers. The honey bee in one foraging trip covers a radius of 5 Kms. Organic Flora cultivation in such a large land area is very difficult, hence organic certification as well. In Agmark tests for the same ingredients and then grade them. DYU Honey is Agmark A grade.

Best Honey

Monofloral honey are honey where the bees have mostly foraged on a single flower. In terms pollen ratio, any single floral pollen ratio if it more than 50% the honey can be classified as monofloral. In case of Manuka its honey from the manuka flower in New Zealand, however that doesnt make it the best as there are many such regional monofloral honey's across the world.

Appearance

Honey can be in different shades, some dark, some pale, some white. The color of honey is completely dependent upon the source and season. All pure honey is just yum to consume.
