There are two common treatments for honey: washing with water to remove the pectin layer. and direct exposure to the fruit and then remove the outer layer of the sun treatment.

Honey treatment is somewhere in between, the outer layer of the fruit will be partially removed, and part of the pectin layer will be retained and dried.

According to the different proportion of retaining pectin and drying honey treatment, it can be divided into:

Yellow Honey yellow honey retains 50% pectin and has no fermentation.
