Madurasa, Indonesian Honey

Whenever talking about honey, my mind immediately thought of Madurasa. The brand of honey has long existed and original product of Indonesia. Now there is a variety of packaging of Madurasa, there is plastic sachet, plastic bottles, glass bottles. Plastic sachet packaging is the most practical, because once it drink and can be discarded, very simple to carry anywhere. Plastic bottle packaging has a bigger volume from the plastic sachet, it's enough for one person for a month. Glass bottle packaging has a larger volume and can consume with the whole family.

Madurasa can consume by children, this honey is mixed with flavorings like grape, orange and strawberry. Madurasa for adults have different kinds, they are pure honey, or honey mixed with royal jelly or extracts of lemon.

Variant of Madurasa that I like is the pure honey, not mixed with royal jelly, lemon extract, or any flavorings. I used to buy Madurasa honey in plastic bottle packaging. Because I think this package can protect honey the most efficient. At the time of the packaging has not been opened, there is aluminum foil in the lid, it must be opened first. The yellow plastic lid can rotate easily so that it can be opened and closed. Once the aluminum foil is open, put on back the yellow plastic lid.

To take the honey from the bottle, can do by opening the top of the yellow lid, then turn over plastic bottles, so the lid of the bottle at the bottom. Squeeze the bottle body by hand, the honey will come out easily. In the midst of the lid, there is a white rubber that cuts into four parts, when the bottle is pressed, the honey will push the rubber so open widely and honey flow out, but when the honey is not squeezed, the rubber is going to close back, so there was no honey left in the lid. It's very good, because if there a rest of the honey in the lid, it can invite ants to come.

On these plastic bottles, there is an information sticker in front and behind. On the front sticker, at the top, there are pictures of honey and bees, then there is a halal label of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI). After that there is Madurasa Brand Pure (Madu Randu, Forest, Longan). on the left there is the circle of honey in Bahasa Indonesia. And on the right there is a hexagon writing pure honey. At the bottom there is a Top Brand 2014 logo (2009-2014). This logo indicates that Madurasa has been awarded Top Brand from 2009 to 2014.

Top brand sticker indicates that the brand has become the most popular brand of consumer choice of Frontier Consulting Group survey. on the right section there is an image of honey and net weight of 150 grams. At the bottom there is writing in a half circle, this contains information Madurasa honey manufacturer, PT Air Mancur, Wonogiri - Indonesia 57652.

On the back stickers on the package, at the top there is writing Madurasa Murni. Pure Madurasa is selected pure honey with unique aroma and taste, in Bahasa Indonesia and English. Then there is the ingredient that is Randu Honey, Forest Honey, Longan Honey, in Bahasa Indonesia and English. Underneath is a storage instructions are kept in a cool and dry place. Madurasa do not need to be stored in the refrigerator. But if you'd like cold honey, then it can be put in the refrigerator. Then there is registration number BPOM RI MD 252111002112. They're also official website Madurasa www.madurasa.co.id. When I open the website, the website looks a little disturbed, there are parts that could not perform perfectly, but it can be read and the information in it is also very clear.

At the bottom sticker there is a production code, expire date, and barcode. And there an image 50 years of Air mancur. It's incredible, the Air mancur company has been established since 1966. Not surprisingly, Madurasa is legendary honey. The Air Mancur is a big company producing herbal medicines or herbal products, which are packed in modern packaging.

Madurasa honey is form viscous liquid with blackish brown color and clear, no deposits, as well as the distinctive smell of honey. If left in an open widely it will invite ants. to consume Madurasa honey, there are many ways I can do, which are taking honey with a spoon. Honey has a unique flavor that is not too sweet in the mouth. the aftertaste is sweet taste can felt for approximately 10 minutes.

Another way is I add 1 teaspoon of honey in a glass of water. This way I do in the morning when I wake up. Or in the afternoon for tea, I add one tablespoon Madurasa as a sugar substitute. Another way that I add the honey on bread instead of butter. Honey flavor is not too sweet like jam. I put honey on fruit juice to replace the sweetened condensed milk. For example mango juice, mango sweetness will mix with honey and produce a unique flavor. Honey mixed with other foods such as tea, bread, or juice, is not leaving an aftertaste in the mouth.

There are other ways, but a bit odd to consume the honey, the honey is added in chickens as a seasoning, then cooked along with other spices, and eaten with rice. the Honey flavor that permeated on the chicken, make chicken more sweet and delicious.

Honey contains sugars in form fructose and glucose, so the taste of the honey becomes sweet. Honey can be consumed by people who suffering diabetes. Because honey contains fructose and when taken into the body will be directly converted into energy without the need to change with insulin hormone. Honey also contains antioxidants which can counteract free radicals in the body. Honey can help to heal a cough and sore throat due to cough. Honey has a high sugar content and low water content, the bacteria or fungus cannot live because of the lack of water, causing the honey can last a long time.

I feel the body becomes fresh and fit after consuming one tablespoon of honey every day. This Madurasa can I apply on the lips, if lips dry and cracked. In less than three days then the lips will come back healthy.
