Beetniks are on the menu at our house. Lots of cream, dill and ppppparsley in the garden.

All we get is Buckwheat honey. My Russian Wife and all of her family think it is the best thing ever. Dark, thick, and apparently very healthy. One of her friends practically lives on nothing but Buckwheat honey.

I agree, albertafarmer that buckwheat anything is really healthy. I love buckwheat honey, but some find it a bit strong -tasting, they tell me. Dark bread and buckwheat honey for breakfast is the best! Pars.

The wild buckwheat has me quite irate this year. I think I will boycott buckwheat anything .... except buckwheat cabbagerolls. 😝

JayMo, I also heard that Chinese are adulterating honey with other ingredients to ramp up the yield. As well as diluting dark honey with light Canadian honey. The Canadian legislation has to be tweaked.

From what I hear, the Chinese honey was blocked from import because of some chemical residue they could not hide. Now they have figured out a method of filteration to remove this residue and open the floodgates to Canada.
It's the Canadian distributors that are blending the 49% Chinese with 51% Canadian honey and passing it off as "product of Canada".

Personally, we only get honey from a friend locally. 100% local.
