I'm looking for a locally produced honey non irradiated.
Any suggestions as to the best real.hiney that isn't from China and isn't just sugar?
I'm trying the "eat naked" raw honey product now but cannot find if its irradiated.
Seems any imported honey is pretty much crap.

So why not go for local honey?
 
If you don't know where to start, or don't trust stuff in shops, there are 2 ways to find raw local honey:
1) find a "padstal" somewhere close by that sells in small numbers
2) contact local bee-keeper association and find out who sells honey close to where you stay

Their honey is amazing and the shop even more so.

Big selfdispensing tanks of raw honey...bees everywhere...a tasting station where you can taste stuff like Lettuce Flower Honey and Cucumber Blossom Honey etc.

Highly recommended.

In 1994 the World Health Organisation reported that 'irradiated foods are generally nutritionally equivalent to non-irradiated foods subjected to normal processing'

I think it's like being a cross fitter or a vegan. The more poncey labels you can use and the louder you can bleat, the healthier and more woke you must be, yeah?

The WHO has a history of being bribed to take sides.... they have no legitimacy and I don't know why people keep trying to give it to them.

How is ANYTHING irradiated not less healthy? Radiation kills both needed and harmful bacteria making the food essentially almost nutritionally useless.

EDIT: honey is also a natural anti-biotic, if you mess with it that function dissapears.

Radiation: By law all imported honey must be irradiated to kill dangerous bacteria and pathogens in order to help keep South African bees safe.

Funny thing is, honey is the one thing where local ACTUALLY is lekker, it's generally far superior in quality to any imports.
