Bite in to a rich, sticky piece of honeycomb from Home Grown Honey
We lost a real treat when comb honey started to disappear and honey no longer came in a little wooden box, pure just as the bees had intended. Each batch of honey retains the floral essences of the plants from which it was made, but the flavour of wax comb also differs according to what the bees ate and adds a richness to the flavour. Add to this the aroma of the box in which the comb was built, and you have a combination of flavours, textures and aromas you can’t find anywhere else.
Comb honey is experiencing a come back and Home Grown Honey is a market stallholder that sells, within its vast product range, comb honey. A family business operating organic apiary sites from Stanthorpe to the mouth of the Logan River at Redland Bay and down to Mount Tamborine, the Home Grown Honey team is proud to have secured some of the most desired bee sites on the planet. Home Grown Honey sets up shop at the Moggill Markets, The Gap Farmers Market and the new Fig Tree Farmers Market each week.
Don’t be apprehensive when eating comb, it is easy to appreciate and savour the true essence of honey. The slight waxy residue that remains after eating the comb is natural and can be chewed just like gum. Honeycomb can be eaten as a whole food, spread on toast or a muffin (you may have to mash it a bit but the heat will soften the comb so it flattens into the bread along with the honey), broken over Greek yoghurt with fresh walnuts or figs, crushed over porridge and muesli, or used as an addition to a cheese board.
