HORORATA Liquid CLOVER HONEY 500g for Muti grain rice/porridge. Is this liquid honey value for money?

Today (2010-11-02), I saw HORORATA LIQUID CLOVER HONEY 500g (S$5.90 per unit) produced by The New Zealand Honey Producers Co-operative (http://www.nzhoney.co.nz/index.htm) at a provision near my home.

I am contemplating to buy one bottle for adding to my multi grain rice/porridge.

My question is: Is this liquid honey value for money?

LIQUID HONEY:

100% pure raw honey extracted from the honey comb that has been warmed to liquefy, strained through a filter and packed. It is being used more and more in cooking as a glazing on meats and vegetables and as a natural sweetening agent instead of sugar in other cooking. Often used as a natural sweetener for healthy drinks.

CREAMED HONEY

Totally pure and natural raw honey with no additives or preservatives, which has been warmed to liquefy, strained through a filter and aerated (slowly beaten or whipped) to form a thick creamy smooth product with a spreadable texture.

Hollands Premium White Clover Honey is the number one selling product nationwide. The founder of the co-operative Dick Holland was an early pioneer in developing the technique of creaming honey in the 1950s.

The Hollands range has been savored by generations of Kiwis who are among the world’s greatest honey lovers. Eighty–eight per cent of New Zealanders enjoy honey, consuming an average of 2 kilograms annually. It is used mainly as a spread on bread, biscuits, cakes etc and in drinks.

Other than the changes in the packaging, Hollands Premium White Clover has remained the same product that Kiwis have enjoyed for the last quarter century.

Honey is regarded as one of the world’s greatest natural foods, it does not spoil nor does it have a “shelf life” or need any special storage conditions. It remains edible for a very long time (many years). However sometimes the appearance will change, as the honey naturally reverts back to its original raw form, i.e. Liquid honey will granulate (the appearance of granules form), and creamed honey will soften and liquefy. These processes are natural and honey is still safe to eat. To slow down the changes in the honey appearance, liquid honey should be kept at room temperature, while creamed honey should be kept cool.
