Dexing Raw Honey

Dexing Raw Honey

　　Dexing raw honey is a specialty of Dexing City, Shangrao, Jiangxi Province. Dexing raw honey is thick and has a transparent or semi-transparent gel-like consistency. It tastes sweet and boasts a rich aroma.

　　The region is rich in oil-tea camellia and rapeseed flowers, creating favorable conditions for bees to collect nectar and produce honey. Areas such as Zhangcun, Wancun, Rao’er, Huaqiao, Haikou, and Xinggangshan have a significant number of bee farms, yielding high-quality honey. Prices range from 20 to 30 yuan, varying by harvesting season into spring, summer, and winter honey, with winter honey being the highest quality. Honey collected from wild trees or caves is called wild honey, also known as rock honey or cliff honey, which is of the best quality but limited in supply. Most commercially available honey comes from cultivated beehives. The fragrance of the honey is pleasant and appetizing. In terms of nutrition and health benefits, it is not only a tonic that promotes longevity but also an effective remedy for various ailments.
