How much is linden honey per jin? Market price analysis
The linden tree is a precious key protected plant in China, widely distributed across the Changbai Mountain range, and is the most important and highest-quality wild nectar source plant in the Changbai Mountains. Linden honey is as famous as lychee honey from the south, and the two are called the "two famous honeys of the north and south." Here we take a look at the price of linden honey.
The price of linden honey is relatively affordable, generally around 30 to 50 yuan per jin, and only a very small number of higher-quality linden honeys can sell for more than 80 yuan per jin. It is worth noting, however, that there are currently many very cheap linden honeys on the market, some even selling for just ten or twenty yuan per jin. In fact, such linden honey generally has problems, and the price of genuine linden honey fully brewed and matured by bees is basically never lower than 30 yuan.
As one of China's main nectar source plants, the linden tree has played an important role in the development of beekeeping production nationwide. The forest region of Heilongjiang Province can accommodate 400,000 bee colonies from inside and outside the province coming to collect linden honey, making it one of China's important commercial honey bases. In every bumper linden year, a strong honey-collecting colony can collect 50-100kg of commercial linden honey, and the province's forest region can collect 1-2 million tons of commercial honey when the linden harvest is good. Therefore, Heilongjiang Province enjoys the fine name of “national honey treasury.”
Linden honey has high nutritional value, and its effects are similar to those of honey. It is rich in various vitamins and inorganic salts, organic acid enzymes, and more. Compared with ordinary honey, it is better at enriching the blood, moistening the lungs, relieving cough and quenching thirst, promoting cell regeneration, increasing appetite, and relieving pain, among other effects, making it a rare fine product among honeys. It should be noted that although linden honey is beneficial to the human body, it is not suitable for people with diabetes, because linden honey is rich in glucose, which is not conducive to blood sugar control in diabetic patients.
Before crystallization, linden honey is a light yellow liquid, ranging between light amber and amber. When the temperature is below 14 degrees, linden honey crystallizes quickly, taking on a fine, pure white, grease-like form. Although the aroma of linden honey is lighter than that of other honeys, one can still smell a linden flower fragrance. When buying linden honey on the market, be sure to check whether it meets these conditions, otherwise it is fake honey.
