Get to know the honey bee jet fuel!

One of the characteristics indicating the honey we buy is natural and of high-quality and is beneficial for human health, is its proline content.

Proline is a substance existing in plant nectar and pollen, which some people believe can attract bees. Because the bee uses proline as a fuel for flight. 

The amount of proline in honey shows its quality by which we can tell whether the bee has fed on flowers and plants to make honey. According to Iran's national standard, the amount of proline in one kilogram of honey should not be less than 180 mg, and if it is less than this amount, the honey is fake! 

You need to know that the more proline in honey, the better its quality would be and its amount can even reach to somewhere between 1000 and 2000 mg/kg.
