I want to go every year! “Honey Festa 2018” (Part 2)

[Hanes] August 10, 2018 09:00


Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
This time, we will continue to focus on "Honey Festa 2018" and introduce a number of interesting Honey honey in Asia, including the honey collection environment and the situation of honey hunters.

What was sold here was a collection of stress-free bees that were not kept in wooden boxes.
Himalaya honey collected by honey hunters without damaging bees without smoking with smoke.
And it is given to 100% organic substances that have not been detected, such as pesticides or herbicides.
Glyphosate (a component of herbicide) is certified free of charge.
Bees fly around, so even if they do not use herbicides on their own premises.
Out when used around
Therefore, it seems that it is very difficult to obtain this certification.

The chocolate honey patty (a bite-sized chocolate with a blend of 100% cacao and white honey and a natural flavor) sold out this time、Although it is low calorie without sugar、It contains minerals, enzymes and polyphenols、It seems to be high nutritional value! I'm worried.

This booth is full of wild black honey that was imported directly from India!
The feature is that it has the power of condensed the blessings and greatness of the earth.
About half the amount of ordinary honey, it can produce a flavor that removes the good scent of honey from the nose.
For business use, they also buy cake shops for Baumkuchen and financiers.

I have never personally associated honey from India, but I have never thought of it.
The history of honey collection at Mel Gart, the inner part of the Decan Plateau, dates back to around 15,000 to 11,000 BC, and I was surprised that the mural painted at that time saw honey collection.

It is a collection of honey that has been done for such a long time.
Through the protection of the poor tribes proposed by Ganddy and the establishment of the Central Bee Research and Training Institute.
For hunters who had been collecting honey while being stabbed by a bee without protection.
Helmets and protective clothing were provided, so that they could work safely.
Sales of black honey in Japan may also contribute to such safety.

Finally, some people wonder why they are "black" honey.
When I took advantage of questions from other visitors and listened to the story, honey containing sap containing the blessings of forests such as minerals due to the pollen of flowers called parache, became golden when matured. It seems to change from black brown.
It's a study, and it's interesting.

In recent years, we have gradually penetrated mainly by women in the past few years.
However, I think many people have never heard of nail honey yet.
In fact, the honey is popular among the wealthy because it is also prized as a gift to the royal family.
It seems that it is exported to the west from Arab countries and does not easily enter Japan.

The precious honey "Cidal honey" introduced here is "Cidal Honey"
Because it is non-heated, the enzyme is effective enough, and it is perfect not only for eating but also for packs!

Because it can be packed in the amount of rice grain size, it is said that even small bottles of honey will last for 3 months.
It's a great deal, so I put my hands on my face and packed them.
After packing with rose water, you can use it.
The sticky feeling of honey is strange at all, so I am surprised!
It seems to have a moisturizing effect, so I decided to check it again.

■Impressions
This time, until I went to "Honey Festa"
Honey was thinking of "honey" together.
However, in this way, we can sample and listen to the story behind the collection.
By reading a brochure with honey tips, you can read them.
It was found that the taste, aroma and color differ depending on the location, flower, single flower nectar or hundred flower nectar.
Honey...It's deeper and interesting than I expected.

And in the town of Ginza, where many flowers are not blooming, there is no such thing.
I'm increasingly worried about what kind of honey can be collected!

This event is something that can be enjoyed by anyone who likes honey or beginners like me.
If you couldn't go this time, please come and visit us next year.

However, good news for those who say "I can't wait until next year"!
Outside of the festival venue, there are monthly hands-on courses where you can learn various ways to use honey in beauty and food, so you can enjoy learning about honey.
If you participate in the festival after attending the course, you will be able to taste honey more professionally.
I'm curious too

The course will be held in the seminar room of the Japan Honey Meister Association, which is a 7-minute walk from Kayabacho Station and a 9-minute walk from Suitengumae Station.
If you are interested, why not try participating in sightseeing around you?
