Sweet Truths About Honey—Why Purity Matters

Honey - its golden glow, delicate sweetness, and endless versatility have earned it a cherished spot in pantries around the world. But not all honey is created equal—and when it comes to your family’s health, knowing the difference between pure, 100% honey and watered-down impostors is essential.

The Honey You See Isn’t Always the Honey You Get

In recent years, labels claiming “Australian honey” or “100% pure” have popped up on supermarket shelves—only to discover that many of these jars contain syrups, sweeteners, or honey blended from multiple countries with different quality controls.

Some common adulterations include:

• High-fructose corn syrup or rice syrup added to boost sweetness cheaply

• Imported honeys mixed in with local batches to stretch supply

• Heat-treated honey stripped of beneficial enzymes and nutrients

  
  

These practices result in a product that looks—and tastes—honey-like, but lacks the natural enzymes, antioxidants, and trace minerals you count on for health benefits.

Why We Choose 100% Pure Honey

At PlatterMakers, we believe in serving only the real ingredient, natural as is. That means:

1. Transparent Sourcing

   We carefully review ingredient lists and select only jars from reputable brands whose labeling and manufacturer certifications guarantee 100% pure honey—no syrups, no fillers, no surprises.

2. Zero Adulteration

   No syrups, no tricks—just pure honey straight from the comb.

3. Raw Enzyme Power

   We choose 100% Australia Honey (used in our house-made Madeleines) that is minimally processed, preserving the natural enzymes and antioxidants that support digestion, soothing sore throats, and boosting immunity.

   
   

How to Spot Real Honey at Home

Want to be sure your honey is the genuine article? Try these simple checks:

• The Water Test: Spoon a small amount into a glass of water. Pure honey settles at the bottom and doesn’t dissolve immediately—adulterated honey will start dissolving right away.

• The Thumb Test: Drop a little on your thumb. If it spreads, it’s likely been thinned; pure honey stays in a tight bead.

• The Label Look-Up: Scan for country of origin, beekeeper certifications, and absence of words like “blend,” “imitation,” or “flavoured.”
