Snober Honey
Frequently Asked Questions About Honey
Honey is one of nature’s purest gifts – a nutritional treasure with unmatched richness, aroma, and medicinal qualities. To help you understand it better, here are the most common questions people ask about pure and organic honey, answered by experts and inspired by the process behind Snober Honey, India’s best honey brand.
1. Why does pure honey crystallise?
Crystallisation is a natural sign of authentic raw honey. The glucose in honey separates and forms tiny sugar crystals over time – but that doesn’t mean the honey has gone bad. To re-liquefy crystallised honey, place the jar in warm water (around 40°C–50°C) for 10–15 minutes. Avoid using a microwave, as high heat destroys natural enzymes and nutrients.
2. How should honey be stored?
Store organic honey in tightly sealed jars at room temperature, away from direct light and heat. Honey naturally has a long shelf life – pure varieties like Kashmiri multiflora honey or white acacia honey can stay fresh for years without preservatives.
3. Why is it bad to heat honey?
When heated beyond 55°C, honey loses its health benefits. The enzyme glucose oxidase, which helps generate antibacterial hydrogen peroxide, gets destroyed, reducing the medicinal and immunity-boosting properties of raw organic honey. Always consume honey raw or slightly warm.
4. Why shouldn’t babies under one year eat honey?
Honey is raw and unpasteurised, meaning it may contain harmless traces of natural bacterial spores. While adults can easily digest them, infants cannot, as their immune systems are still developing. That’s why even pure Kashmiri honey should be reserved for adults and children over one year old.
5. Why are some honeys liquid and others creamy or solid?
All honey begins as liquid. The transformation into creamy or crystallised forms depends on the floral source – for example, white acacia honey stays liquid longer due to lower glucose levels, whereas multiflora honey crystallises faster. Both types maintain their purity, taste, and nutrients.
6. How can I tell if my honey is pure?
Here’s a simple tip – pure honey does not dissolve quickly in water, doesn’t foam excessively when shaken, and has a dense, sticky consistency. Every jar of Snober Honey undergoes rigorous lab testing to ensure it meets Special Grade purity standards – zero adulteration, 100% authenticity.
7. Why does pure Kashmiri honey cost more?
Because it’s rare, seasonal, and sourced from pristine Himalayan meadows free of industrial pollution. Snober’s Kashmiri honey – including saffron, multiflora, and acacia varieties – is carefully harvested, lab certified, and bottled without heating or blending, preserving all its living nutrients.
From hive to jar, every drop of Snober Honey is the gold standard of pure Kashmir honey, offering health, heritage, and honesty – just as nature intended.
