Question About Honey In Europe

I've never really heard of barley sugar, or putting barley sugar in honey. Is this common in honey over here? Most of the labels I'm seeing aren't in English but I do see "with the taste of barley sugar" on some of them. I ended up buying honey in a little bear bottle that just says "vceli med" on the label (I suppose that means "honey" lol).

Anyways, just wondering if it's common for honey to contain barley sugar, because I've never considered that before.

I think Germans would have a fit if their honey had anything else added to it! If there is barley in honey wherever you are right now, it must be a local thing. I have never heard of that before.

Hi 'Mango04',

'A taste of barley sugar' is exactly what it is, a flavour of 'Barley Sugar', a type of hard boiled candy

most notable in the UK.

There is NO barley whatsoever in 'Barley Sugar'.

And Finally if you want to make your own 'Barley Sugar Candy' here's a recipe from the Food Network.

Hope this helps to allay any fears you had !

ha thanks guys! I don't know why I couldn't seem to figure this out! I saw the words "barley sugar" on a brand that appeared to be imported from the UK, but it's all very confusing where I am (Czech Republic). Many of the labels are part English, part Czech...but don't really seem to make sense in either language (not that Czech would make sense to me anyways) :P I will now go fearlessly add some honey to my tea. :D Thanks!

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By RMJ · Posted

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.

      I did ... But aren't we going to be vitamin deficienct if we are not eating due to being sick ?? If the food we eat is gluten free and we have other sensitivities , how do we get out of the cycle??  Thank you
