Honey

Ahead of Rosh Hashanah, a plethora of videos are popping up promising to reveal within seconds if honey is real or fake, meaning diluted with various industrial syrups. But the truth is that no such test checks what is really important. So how can you (almost) ensure you purchased pure bee honey? Only this way.

The retail chain Oshers Ad is breaking the market with a one-kilogram package of honey at a competitive price, while other popular brands are sold for double or more for a much lower weight.

Ahead of the Tishrei holidays, the Ministry of Agriculture approved a quota of 400 tons of imported, discounted honey that will cost an average of 16.6 NIS per kg. On the other hand, a price check of well-known Israeli honey reveals gaps of up to 30% between retail chains. We are sorting out the prices.
