Guest guest Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Does anyone know what kind of honey Starbucks uses? The honey in their packets looks pretty dark to me, and I wonder if it might be Silverbow--one of the questionable honeys.-- Here is a re-post about adulterated honey. Buy locally. There are Beekeeper Associations in every city if you can’t find local honey in your area Farmer’s Market or stores.

But the dark color doesn't necessarily mean anything at all in terms of quality. Honey color has to do with what flowers the bees sucked nectar from to produce the honey; e.g., buckwheat honey is very dark and acacia flower honey is very, very light; and there's a lot in between depending on the flowers. n>> On Tue, Mar 30, 2010 at 9:40 AM, Carol Pompilo > wrote:>>>>>>> Here is a re-post about adulterated honey.
