A lot of brand that are selling honey on a commercial level are selling you
honey what they are selling you is a little bit of honey adulated with sugar
syrup and with additive vegetables syrup (such as rice syrup) Which you might
have heard about this in recent times on the internet and media, or many of top
brands were found guilty of adulterating their honey with some cheap sugar
syrups. ALTERNATIVE:> Natural honey of a good brand that genuinely provides
organic honey without any additive of sugar or corn syrup. ONE GOOD BRAND OF
HONEY One good brand of honey that you can buy or consume is HONEY BASKET as
this honey is FSSAI AND NaBL lab certified in heated and unpasteurized which is
genuinely providing real /original honey as it is ,in its natural form, without
any adulteration is the old school glass jars. Also, they don’t sell from amazon
as already many so called organic brand are misleading the name of organic. They
are selling their own website (www.honeybasket.in)
