At Sadik Tarim, our expert beekeepers periodically move our hives to the most beautiful highlands with the seasons and vegetation suitable for honey production, in response to the colorful blooms of flowers with the arrival of spring. Therefore, the taste and aroma of the nectar collected by the bees varies depending on the type of plant.
Sadik Tarim's Extracted Flower Honey begins its journey with bees collecting nectar, the main source of honey, secreted by flowers, and storing it in their honey stomachs. After this stage, worker bees drink the nectar left in the honeycombs again and return it to the hives. By mixing it with enzymes within their own bodies, Sadik Tarim Extracted Flower Honey is a highly nutritious, sweet, and natural foodstuff, rich in minerals and vitamins.
REAL AND NATURAL HONEY CRYSTALLIZATION IS INDEED OBSERVED, AND THIS IS PROOF THAT THE HONEY IS NATURAL. CRYSTALLIZATION IS THE PHENOMENON OF THE GLUCOSE SUGAR CONTAINED IN HONEY REACHING ITS SATURATION POINT OVER TIME AND SITTING TO THE BOTTOM. THIS IS WHY FLOWER HONEY INDEED CRYSTALLIZES, AND THIS IS A NATURAL OCCURENCE.
To prevent crystallization, processed flower honey undergoes a process where it is heated, then cooled, and pollen is removed. This process is normally done to prevent crystallization. However, due to the high heat applied during this process, most of the vitamins, enzymes, minerals, and amino acids are destroyed and lose their effectiveness, thus losing the honey's natural and healthy properties.
Sadik Tarim's flower honey has many known benefits. It has anti-aging properties due to the antioxidant compounds it contains. It is known to aid bacterial growth and wound healing. Experts say that mixing a teaspoon of flower honey with a glass of water and drinking it prevents toxins from accumulating in the intestines and vascular blockages. Its antibiotic properties have a strengthening effect on the immune system.
Our Sadik Tarim Extracted Flower Honey has been analyzed at the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry's Special Food Control Laboratory, and we proudly share all analysis results with our valued customers.
When we examine some of the test results, we see that while the proline value in honey should be at least 300 mg kg according to the Turkish Food Codex Communiqué, this value is 604.80 mg kg in Sadik Tarim Extracted Flower Honey. A high proline value is an indicator of whether bees are collecting nectar from nature while making the honey and the amount of nectar they are collecting. Diastesis, another enzyme produced by bees' stomach secretions during the ripening of flower honey and transferred to our Sadik Tarim Extracted Flower Honey, is required to have a minimum of 8. According to the Turkish Food Codex Communiqué, this value is displayed as 14.80 in our product. The diastesis value is determined by research that indicates that the product has not been heat-treated and is natural. Another crucial analysis in the test results is the Moisture Value test. The moisture value test reveals the amount of water in the honey. This value plays a significant role in determining the maturity and shelf life of honey. According to the Turkish Food Codex Communiqué, this value should be at most 0.40 in our Sadik Tarim Extracted Flower Honey. A value greater than 0.00 is considered an indicator that the honey was harvested early. Another criterion is that Sadik Tarim Flower Honey must be free of sucrose. Our bees invert all the nectar they collect, breaking down all sucrose into fructose and glucose. Original Flower Honey contains no sucrose.
Sadik Tarim's Extracted Flower Honey can be consumed solid, or you can thaw it by placing the honey jar in a bowl of hot water (Bain-Marie Method) at a maximum of 40 degrees Celsius. It should not be consumed by infants under one year of age or by anyone allergic to bee products. Since we operate under the motto "We don't feed others what we wouldn't eat ourselves," all our analysis results are shared transparently.
