Too often, the label has "foil" in it, making nuking all but
impossible.

Honey is so adulterated, now, we do not allow honey to be
imported from China, any longer. China exports it to places like
Vietnam, Singapore, etc, which imports it to us!

Don't you think it strange, ppl are demanding more and more honey, yet
bee's are dying off? Perhaps that is why you are getting suck big
returns from yer obviously "real" honey.

Good for you.

BTW, how can I determine if honey is real. I jes "un-crystallized" a
half a jar of organic honey (hot water). If it "crystallizes" at all,
is it "real" honey? I've had crystallization occur to "true" maple
syrup (very quickly).
