Coughing is perhaps the most annoying thing, besides blowing your nose, that the common cold will harass you with. Are you sick of taking medicines and only lowering your immune system rather than strengthening it? Luckily, there is an ancient homemade syrup which will help you remove phlegm and cure your cough. The secret lies in carrots! Due to its high antioxidants content, the vegetable we usually ignore has been proven to help diabetics as well as hypertension suffering. In order to make the above-mentioned syrup you will require half a kilogram of carrots, water and 3-4 tablespoons of organic honey. Pay attention to the preparation method and soon you could heal your coughing within a couple of days. Take about 3 tablespoons of the homemade carrot syrup for starters in order to begin the healing process. The remedy works good for both adults and children alike.
Other benefits of carrot:
Improves Immunity And Controls Heart Diseases
Reduces Cholesterol
Prevents Cancer
Prevents Acne
Source Of Vitamins Needed For Skin
Source of Calcium
Aids Digestion
Cleanses the Body
Here is the syrup recipe:
Ingredients:
- ½ kg of carrot
- 3-4 tablespoons of honey
- Water
Preparation:
First, cut the carrots into pieces and pour them over with water. Now, boil, until the carrots soften and remove them from the heat. Strain the water and don`t throw it. Let it cool. Mash the carrots with blender or with a fork.
In the water, add the honey, mix well. Now, add the mixture to the mashed carrots. The syrup is ready! Keep the syrup in cold place.
Consummation:
Take 3-4 spoons of the syrup during the day. After 1-2 days you`ll feel the results.

Can you recommend a viable substitute to honey for those of us who are vegan? Thank you for this wonderful idea!
Thank you
I doubt their is one. The reason that it’s honey is the natural antibacterial proprieties. My mom suggested maple syrup though.
Dammit, by changing my original thought organization, I look like someone who can’t tell the difference between there and their. Oi.
Some possibilities I thought of for replacing honey. The reason honey works is that it is incredibly thick and concentrated and coats the throat. The next closest and reasonably priced syrup would be molasses. The taste would be strange but it should work. If taste throws you off there is Agave Nectar or Brown Rice syrup either are thinner but you could try boiling them down over low medium heat. It could take hours but might work. Another possibility might be slippery elm bark. Definitely expensive but combined with Agave syrup, Rice Syrup or Maple( must cook down until thick.) slippery elm has been in the herbiary since Europeans came to America. Some Aloe Vera gel could be used to coat the throat and soothe the roiling stomach that can accompany heavy congestion and postnatal drip, also drinking Hot lemonade or tea, Ginger Tea, and Mint Tea, Make a thick syrup of Raw Sugar, use Glucose Syrup( a confectionary syrup made from white sugar, either a baking supply house, or on line pharmacy or herbal supply. The problem is Honey is also antiseptic, antimicrobial, antiseptic, antiviral and anti fungal, products other than honey may not have this property. It is the reason honey is shelf stable. You could also investigate using tinctures of Marshmallow or Liqourice Root, the herb horehound( used in real original Riccola cough drops) Should the current political situation escalate into a world wide collapse, such sending us back to more primitive conditions, vegans may face some rough conditions, that may require tough decisions on returning to a diet and life style for survival, due to edible foods being far shorter supply, making it more difficult to survive adequately nourished. Just something to consider. One last and very important item! Never give a child under 2 yo. or anyone with a compromised immune system, from HIV, Cancer, Eating Disorders or Birth defect Any Honey At All. Honey does contain potentially severe allergens a possibility of Botulinium Toxin. A normal immune system can withstand a reasonable amount, but pollen allergies and poor immune function can cause, severe illness and even death. This includes pasteurizatized honey as both can survive in extreme heat conditions. Try consulting a Naturopath or a Professional Herbalist or a dietician specially trained in natural and Herbal Diet. Or ask for a consult to an Allergy Specialist. If you have reason to suspect an allergen with dangerous consequences, they can due both skin and blood tests for potentially serious to lethal allergic reactions.
Sorry some minor errors honey is antibacterial, I wrote antiseptic twice. I’m not as clear in spots as I could be, it’s early morning here. But it’s all here, just some grammar goofs. Any questions, I have left email with the blogger. Also look for herbal info on line, I have a couple of herbals in paperback form. You can find me on Pinterest or FaceBook Messenger. My thanks to the writer for a very good article. MaryAnn Coy Pinterest.
I believe this is mentioned already but RAW honey is a natural anti-microbial and that’s whats so beneficial. Coconut oil also has some of these properties but not as strong.
There are however other remedies. One of the best remedies I’ve found for congestion is mullein tea. Elderberry syrup with Echinacea is also great for colds.
Warm lemon juice, cinnamon, and raw honey are my go too for the flu.

BTW – I forgot to mention Carrots have lots of Nutrients. Best of all are those that maintain the health of the Eyes, and your vision. They will turn your skin to an Orange cast if you consume a large number daily. Other Orange vegetables and fruits are very good too and the deep greens but none are as good as carrots. Deep yellows like winter squashes are very good too. Since each vegetable has a different root system, each possesses a different level of important nutrients. Consume a Rainbow of vegetables each day.
You Neglected To Capitalize Many Of Your Words.
Tell me the ounces amount of carrots ? to use. I don’t know in kg. how much that is in pounds/ounces? Thanks ???Carolyn
Seriously, maybe if you don’t know your vegan substitutes for honey, you should look them up
Please be a little kinder in your commenting. Ok?
vegans don’t eat honey? I did not know that. Educate me…why?
I think its because they are retarded. Actually it probably has to do with the fact it was produced from an animal.
But unlike eggs or milk it comes from plant nectar, so how can that be considered coming from a bee?? Silly.
I think you’re confusing vegetarian & vegan.
They consider it exploitation of the bees to steal their honey.
Veganism isn’t (just) a plant based diet, it’s a life choice of not using/abusing animals. Animal tested products are also non-vegan.
Studies have shown that plants are sensitive to music. So what? If they are sensitive beings, vegans are also hypocrit mass murderers. Even if you try to feed on mud, you would be consuming billions of microsized entities. Chekmate, humans.
The honey ingredients are combined within their bodies and I will use the word excreted, as I can’t remember the technical term. The combined product called honey is excreted from their bodies. A technicality that makes it an animal product. I don’t remember it back in the late fifties and sixties, back to nature groundswell, I didn’t abstain from honey and it was praised for being a more natural product than white and brown sugar. It was in Moosewood, Laurels Kitchen, 10 Ten Talents and all the Major Natural cookbooks and available by weight from the Bread& Circus Markets, long before Whole Foods was around. Seems it was very late 80’s or in the 90’s that I first heard of it.

Jane, using the term “retarded” is very offensive. As a father with a child that has unique mental challenges I would ask that you use the actual word you mean instead of “retarded.” If you mean silly, dumb, stupid, poorly researched or meaningless please use those words instead.
bees arent animals they are insects like ants…
Uh Oh, Here comes the simple ones who don’t like the word retarded.
Because vegans are morons.
you must be correct…..cause, in the first place…Bee’s are Not Animals…Da
wow—-duh would be correct. I suggest you be a little more kind when your ignorance on this subject is very apparent.
Although this will go over your head, below is the scientific classification of the western honey bees. Please take the time to learn something from this. All insects are in the Kingdom Animalia – yes, they are animals.
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Arthropoda
Class: Insecta
Order: Hymenoptera
Family: Apidae
Genus: Apis
Species: A. mellifera (Honeybee)
justin you are the moron…the highest form of ignorance is when you reject that which you know nothing about (that just about sums up your comments)
Personal choice I imagine.
It’s a product from an animal, they don’t eat those.
It is a product from an insect. That isn’t like eating a mammal.j I’ll have to ask my granddaughter.
Ya, I was a little surprised by that too.. I had the same thought. “WHY?”
One teaspoon of honey is the total life’s work of one bee. I would not like to think that all of my efforts in life just popped on to one bowlful of porridge in the morning. To make a pound of honey they have to travel up to 55,000 miles and visit 2,000,000 plants.
And how many living trees were killed so you could live in your residence? Or how many died so you could wipe your butt after defecating?
Sorry, but I laughed out loud!
They are going to travel those miles and visit those plants anyway. It is not like we are enslaving them. We had better hope that they keep doing it or we will all starve.
Honey is the food of bees, without it they die. Looking at it that way it is probably the earliest Sustainably Harvested product man harvested going back centuries in Asian cultures who balance the sour flavors with sweet in most of their cooking. Also sweet and hot.
It is an animal byproduct.
because its made by bees
More for us and helps keep the price down
i LOVE THIS PLACE!
Maybe dandelion honey is an option for vegans.
agave syrup?
Also relevant to those allergic to bees.
It is possible to buy date syrup. Tastes like honey.
Colt .45, my food poops on yours.
Hello, just and fyi. I have read books my son in law had me read about the vegan diet. As beekeepers for over 40 years I can tell you the books contained big misinformation about beekeeping. 1st untruth: that beekeepers bur the bees and hives
before every winter because they do not make honey in the winter, FALSE!. The equipment is too costly to burn and start over with each year, and it takes time for the bees to make and draw out the wax honeycomb which gets stronger and better over the years, and new colonies of bees would be very expensive to have to buy every year! Beekeepers never destroy their honey bees! It most likely came from the time way back to pre 1980’s when bee inspectors would burn the hives and bees IF they found foul brood which is very contagious and could wipe out many bee colonies even in the wild. Beekeepers HATE when inspectors did this! The government does not have the money to have hives inspected these days. Beekeeping is good for bees, a symbiotic relationship. Honey Bees make WAY more honey than they need or use and if they do not have room in their hive to store more of it, they will move to another location. They are the ultimate work-aholic! Get you honey from a local beekeeper (not a factory bee-farmer) you know and trust, it is the best for you anyway with you local pollen in it. Learn their practices. The one think hard on bees I know of is collecting bee pollen. But that was back in the 80’s and before. We did not do it because of how hard it is on the bees. I am not sure if there is a better way to collect the pollen today that is safe for bees. I will look into that. Go watch how your local honey bee keeper does what they do! You will be impressed! We now have 1o hives ( have had up to 30 before) Honey bees are amazing creatures the vast majority of bee keepers greatly respect and take wonderful care of. They also have a TON of money invested in the bees and equipment and would never destroy them! That fact alone makes the vegan miss-info crazy! You local Extension office may help you find local to you beekeepers. Please consider and help stop the miss-information about Honey/beekeeping. Thank you, Susan
The pro vegan book with miss info is: The Parrots Lament, great book otherwise!
Bees pollinate flowers on trees so that they then bear fruit , do Vegans eat fruit and then use the wood from the trees to make furniture? Trees also that flower but do not bear fruit are also pollinated hmm. What about berries hmmm pollinated by bees.
Production of fruit does not require farming and harming bees.
The pollinating bees are actually other species of bees and farming just one type is harmful to the environment.
I’m not a true vegan, as I could eat insect products but I’d never use honey.
agave nectar will work in place of honey.
Nothing else will work. Honey is the key. Honey is one of the foods that will NEVER spoil. Honey has anti bacterial properties. You can even put it on a wound like a cut or scrape.
I’m not sure there is one, but I might try some blue agave or adding carrots to another natural remedy that works (as a booster).
I had never thought of honey not used by vegans,it surprised me when I saw this.Glad I found this site,still never to old to learn something
Sorghum. Taste is very strong but might work. I sometimes use it in my tea instead of honey.
good morning,
i will suggest to add 2 tea spoon of “LIME JUICE” to it
You could probably sub the honey with organic agave.thats used alot for cough and soar throat.
Honey can not be replaced; honey is the most complexe medicine in itself, ever. I don’t see a reason for you, as vegan, could not eat it – it is produced by bees but not out of bees.
Some of us object to taking animal products without their agreement or permission.
Prime, glowing example of the sheer ridiculousness invading the world. Thanks Eva: needed a good laugh today.
Many, but not all vegans don’t consume honey because honey is the substance that bee larvae eat as they’re growing into adult bees. My understanding is that beekeepers that make honey replace the honey for the bee larvae with a sugary slurry that’s far inferior, nutrition-wise. Also, as the honeycombs are extracted to obtain honey bees are killed. And there’s just the principal that something made by a creature that’s important to their health or their young’s health shouldn’t be stolen by humans just because it’s a tasty treat.
The understanding you have about feeding bees with far inferior honey substitute is simply not true for most beekeepers. They only use a substitute in boxes that they have found in swarms. That Pollen cake is used to keep them in the new location until they establish their colony and get their own pollen collected. By no means does a beekeeper take all the honey. 1-2 honey supers are left in place to ensure brood and over wintering. We love our bees and want them healthy and happy. If this is a practice from commercial honey producers buy local honey from local beekeeper WHOLE RAW honey and you can ask the beekeeper them self. I have seen the videos on youtube from inexperienced beekeepers that are feeding their bees a substitute of sugar cakes .. not all beekeepers do this. Experienced beekeepers do not.
Vegans cannot drink milk either.
I’m struggling myself to understand (though I respect vegan culture, that comment makes me laugh… never thought of vegan as dumb. Or maybe it’s a matter of puting bee larvae to honey deprivation byeating it :)) hahah,who can tell…
Vegans do not eat anything from the animal or made by the animal…so in other words no cheese, milk, eggs, honey, gelatin and so on.
I personally believe that honey gives us many properties that can contribute to a healthy life such as bee pollen, royal jelly and of course honey itself, as long as it is local and raw (great for allergies)
Regarding this above recipe, I agree it is high in anti-oxidants but it would be better to juice the carrots to obtain the anti-oxidants, boiling them one should add a bit of fat as there are many fat-soluble properties in carrots. My favorite INSTANT getting rid of a cough is pineapple juice or pine apple smoothie (just mix pineapple, a bit of water and sweetener of your choice blend and drink)
But, isn’t a honeybee an insect. Isn’t that different for an animal? I know it has four legs. but, what other animal has four legs and flies? Just curious.
Bee are INSECTS – not ANIMALS – Wikipedia ” INSECT pollinators are essential to the life-cycle of many flowering plant species on which most organisms, including humans, are at least partly dependent; without them, the terrestrial portion of the biosphere (including humans) would be devastated.[8] Many other insects are considered ecologically beneficial as predators and a few provide direct economic benefit. Silkworms and BEES have been used extensively by humans for the production of silk and HONEY, respectively. In some cultures, people eat the larvae or adults of certain insects. Get over it people.
Actually honey contains stuff from bees (saliva). But that’s not even the biggest problem here, I can’t believe people don’t know what veganism means 😀
How much is 1/2 kg of carrots in relation ?to pounds or how many carrots
1/2 kg = 1.1 pounds
1.1 lbs
about 1 lbs of carrots
1.102 lbs is equal to 1/2 kg
1/2 kg is (approx.) 1 and 1/4 lb
1/2 kg is about 1 pound, handily-enough.
2.2 pounds per Kg therefor 1.1 pound of carrots 😉
Have a great day.
1/2 kg = 1.1lbs
Just over a pound.
1.1 pounds
A kilo equals 2.2 pounds.
1/2 kilo = 1.1 pounds.
I’m guessing about 1 pound
https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=convert%20kg%20to%20lb
Go here for conversions
one kilogram is 2.2 pounds. This recipe would call for about one pound of carrots.
About 1 pound
It seems to me that juicing those carrots and drinking them would be just as effective.. really , if its the antioxidants that are the ‘cure’ than eating or drinking any fruit or veg would be just as effective.. if this were true.
Carrots cooked, release more essential vitamins.
Also- the need for a substitute for honey is valid when treating children
who are under a year old.
I would say molasses instead of honey.
Clover honey can be made on the stove. Must gather the flower of clover to make it.
There is no substitute for honey. The purpose of honey is to cure, not to sweeten the syrup.
Maple syrup
Would malt extract count as vegan? I tried it for a cough after investigating the very highly-priced and -recommended Chinese fruit-based cough syrup – and it seemed just as effective to me, as well as being a fraction of the price.
Maybe I’ve been eating enough carrots in recent years to explain why I very rarely seem to get coughs any more.
Ok, really, why can’t you have honey? Please, explain.
My understanding is that Vegans don’t eat Honey because it is made by Bees. Bees are animal/insect. Just as Vegans would not consume milk from an animal they will not consume Honey from Bees. Maybe someone who is actually Vegan wants to explain better?
Im sure its a personal choice, not something written in a rule book somewhere.
they CAN have honey, they just choose not to as a vegan. Honey is an animal by-product. Many vegans believe that anything that entails the use of an animal to make a product is ethically wrong. I.E., milk, eggs, cheese, honey, etc..
For everyone asking why vegans might not eat honey, it’s because honey is an animal product. That is, the bees go through hard work to make the honey, and people harvest (or steal) it from them.
As for substitutions, many people have already correctly stated that there isn’t one. Not one that will accomplish the same job. You would need a whole new recipe.
If you use honey for anything, I always recommend using unfiltered honey. It will say unfiltered, and as you may expect, it will not be as clear as filtered honey. All of its beneficial properties are retained.
bingo! there’s everyone’s answer……unfiltered honey actually has pieces of animal (ants) in it!
The simplest reason why honey isn’t vegan is by definition. The term vegan was coined by Donald Watson in 1944 and was defined as follows: Veganism is a way of living which excludes all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, the animal kingdom, and includes a reverence for life.
Not a vegan, but had to know myself!
Why only the animal kingdom? Why not the plant kingdom as well? In several highly documented studies it has been shown that plants have feelings and can communicate via released chemicals in the air. So Vegans should not eat plants either!
Some Vegans don not eat Honey because unfortunately, like factory farmers, many beekeepers take inhumane steps to ensure personal safety and reach production quotas. It’s not unusual for larger honey producers to cut off the queen bee’s wings so that she can’t leave the colony or to have her artificially inseminated on a bee-sized version of the factory farm “rape rack.” When the keeper wants to move a queen to a new colony, she is carried with “bodyguard” bees, all of whom—if they survive transport—will be killed by bees in the new colony. Large commercial operations may also take all the honey instead of leaving the 60 pounds or so that bees need to get through the winter. They replace the rich honey with a cheap sugar substitute that is not as fortifying. In colder areas, if the keepers consider it too costly to keep the bees alive through the winter, they destroy the hives using cyanide gas. Also, bees are often killed or have their wings and legs torn off by haphazard handling. According to the Cook-DuPage Beekeepers Association, humans have been using honey since about 15,000 B.C., but it wasn’t until the 20th century that people turned bees into factory-farmed animals. Happily, many sweeteners are made without killing bees: Rice syrup, molasses, sorghum, Sucanat, barley malt, maple syrup, organic cane sugar, and dried fruit or fruit concentrates can replace honey in recipes. Using these will keep your diet bee-free.
OR
Keeping bees for commercial or hobby purposes violates the bees’ rights to be free of human exploitation. As with companion animals or other farmed animals, breeding, buying and selling animals violates the animals’ rights to live free of human use and exploitation, and bees are commercially bred, bought and sold.
In addition to keeping bees, taking their honey is also exploitative.
While beekeepers will say that they leave plenty of honey for the bees, the honey belongs to the bees.
Furthermore, some bees are killed every time the beekeeper smokes the bees out of their hive and takes their honey. These deaths are an additional reason to boycott honey; even if no bees were killed during honey collection, the exploitation of the bees would be reason enough.
Are you a moron? They are insects…
Aliens from the Vega system have been on Earth for decades. Though, outwardly, they are almost indistinguishable from humans, physiologically, there are several major differences and their bodies react differently to certain substances and foods found on Earth. Honey, for instance, can be deadly when ingested…They are also known to lick quartz to get high and many of them will carry a few small stones in their pockets.
Veganism is a way of living which excludes all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, the animal kingdom, and includes a reverence for life. It applies to the practice of living on the products of the plant kingdom to the exclusion of flesh, fish, fowl, eggs, honey, animal milk and its derivatives, and encourages the use of alternatives for all commodities derived wholly or in part from animals
Honey is made by insects. Vegans do not eat that that comes from animals. The part where insects fit in with animals is where i get confused. But Honey is a by product of a living creature. I wonder if they do not wear silk.
Or cotton? or anything?
1 kg is 2.2 lbs
So one pound would be a half kg roughly
On principle some people will not eat a product from any animal, such as honey from the bee. That being said, I see no reason not to ask permission first and to get agreement from the animal instead of just taking it.
Sterilization destroys the properties of honey that would make it beneficial. Organic does not mean raw. Only raw honey contains the enzymes that makes it good for you.
They don’t eat honey because it comes from bees. Like they don’t use eggs, milk, gelatin, or wear leather.
Uh why can’t vegans eat Honey. This is still not explained.
They can, they just choose not to. just read the damn comments. its explained several times. from the definition of veganism to the practice of beekeepers. god damnit.
OK I googled it. It says vegans don’t eat honey because the bees make the honey for them selves…really?
Tim: http://www.vegetus.org/honey/honey.htm
Are you kidding about honey not being vegan? It’s a natural product.
Vegan honey substitute – what about pine ‘honey’? The original recipe uses spring tips of branches but that prevents them from further growing, so I prefer using green pine cones.
Gather some quantity you can fit in a pot. Cover them with water and boil until water is half the original level. Strain and measure the volume of the liquid. I put 1 kg of sugar for every, say, 300 ml of pine liquid /you may use less sugar but you’ll have to boil longer until thick/. Boil until desired thickness is achieved, add 5 g of citric acid crystals per every 1 kg of sugar used. Pour while hot in mason jars, screw the lids tightly closed and turn them upside down for a while. This seals the jars.
It makes a very, very good cough remedy even used alone. Also very good in combination with herbal tea from Malva Sylvestris / mallow!
Maybe apple honey? It may not hold the same health benefits as bees honey.
1 kg is equal to 2.02 lbs.
Honey comes from flowers, its not like its bee milk…
Because it is produced by an animal.
1/2 kg= 1.1 pounds
Is this ok for diabetics?
No. Just no
Yea, what is 1/2 kg of carrots?
stupid people ask stupid questions
Uh since when can’t vegans have honey? I’ve been. Vegan most of my life. Almost 40. I’ve always had honey. They don’t chop up bees or milk honey out of their stinger to get honey.
There is no true substitute for the honey. The honey is antibacterial and has natural coating abilities.
Vegans don’t eat honey as it is an animal byproduct. Milk, or leather are byproducts of cows. Eggs are a byproduct of chickens. That is why Vegans don’t eat honey. It may not be made of bees, it is made by bees.
Yeah..don’t be a vegan.
1.1 pounds
1/2 kg equals 1.1 pounds of carrots.
1/2 Kg of carrots is approx 1.1 pounds
Tim, I had a friend try to explain why ‘true’ vegans don’t eat honey and the explaination was something to the effect of: bees make honey to survive the winter and to feed their young. If we eat their honey then we are responsible for killing the bees and their young when no honey is available. I am not vegan so this explaination is not one I would use so I am putting it out their for consideration.
Regards
C
There’s this stuff called “befree” honey. The sugar in the honey is what makes it antibacterial. This stuff may act the same way.
Really. Are you vegan too? Don’t you have internet. A kg is 2.2lbs. People ask the dumbest questions.
1/2 kg is 1 1/4 lbs.
As I understand it, vegans do not consume anything made out of animals or animal byproduct….honey, milk. For the ones I have known it was about not killing animals, and if you consume the food they create for their young you are in fact killing them.
I made it up the best I could, the directions weren’t very clear and I’m trying it, it don’t taste too bad
Sucking on a slice of raw ginger root will stop a cough almost immediately.
If you want to make this carrot recipe without honey, I would make it with fresh ginger root added to the carrots.
I’m not vegan, but took me 30 secs to find out…. Bees are farmed. Bees are smoked. Queen Bees are killed regularly. Bees are not intelligent ( so don’t fly away, although they are capable) Bees harvest early Autumn so are fed artificially via sugar through the winter. As an ethical vegan, you wouldn’t eat honey.
Veganism is a way of living which excludes all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, the animal kingdom, and includes a reverence for life. It applies to the practice of living on the products of the plant kingdom to the exclusion of flesh, fish, fowl, eggs, HONEY, animal milk and its derivatives, and encourages the use of alternatives for all commodities derived wholly or in part from animals ( DW) The originator of the vegan movement, Donald Watson, singled it out as a no-go food stuff in the British Vegan Society manifesto of 1944.
For the record, I’m not vegan or vegetarian,but I’m also not ignorant !
It was only a question asked !!!!!!!!
Because vegans do not exploit animals if any kind.
A kilogram is just over 2 pounds.
There is a “vegan” honey made from organic apples. I saw it on Shark Tank. 🙂
Honey is an animal by-product; vegans don’t eat/use/wear any animals etc., or their by-products.
Also, using a response above “honey is made by bees, not from bees” as a justification , milk is from cows, not made from cows too but a vegan would never use dairy products.
Honey is produced by bees. Bees are animals, and as such, honey is not vegan. When animals are (directly) involved in the process of producing something, the result is not vegan.
Detail: if I’m correct, queen bee’s wings are cut off to ensure they do not fly away.
Please befriend or become a natural beekeeper, and then you will find kind honey. Natural beekeepers do not use smoke, they let the bees form their own comb with all sized cells, they let their bees swarm if that is their desire and they only take the left over honey at the end of winter, once the nectar is flowing again for spring. Some of them even sing to their bees. 🙂
Honey and pepper are both powerful cough medicines, which effectively remove the phlegm by coughing. Mix one tablespoon of honey with a pinch of ground black pepper and take this twice a day.
They don’t eat anything made by or from animals (animal by-products).
Every flowering plant is a product of bees….Vegetables and Fruits alike. Bees play a huge part in our lives, but as a vegan we eat vegetables and fruits, but not honey? Some may have a preference to this or FOLLOW a book, but I FOLLOW my mind.
When you say keep it in cold place… Does it mean to refrigerate or chill it? Thanks !
I worked with a girl that couldn’t eat beef, I didn’t understand why they could have leather seats and shoes and purses but couldn’t eat it, Grant she got mad at me and I believe if you cant’ eat it then why is it ok to sat on it or wear it, it is still animal.
Just curious… Did anyone actually try this out to see if it works or are you all just here to bicker about vegan honey (and anything else vegan) and how much half a kilo is in pounds?
Ok these posts are stupid. Same questions and answers over and over again. Just read the first few posts you’ll get it.
Question. Why do much negativity from some towards Vegans. I am not one myself. Someone who happened to be Vegan posted a LEGITIMATE question ‘re honey substitute and some decided to be offending. ” Love, Love & Learn”✌
Bees are going to make honey whether we eat it or not, it is their nature. Besides a bee is an insect and not an animal.
Don’t bees and other insects pollinate other vegetables as well?
I am so surprised at some of the hostile comments on this post. While sensible discussion is always a good thing calling people names like idiot and moron just reflects back to the person saying it and it is not a good reflection.
Unfiltered honey has not had the beneficial pollen filtered out. It is strained to remove bits of wax and other random detritus that may find its way into the collection vessels during extraction. Any food you eat, even vegan labeled, cannot guarantee that no insects were harmed in its production. That perfect vegan apple you’re eating while feeling good good about the chickens lives you’re saving? It was sprayed with organic pesticides to kill the caterpillars that would have eaten holes in it, and everyone knows that an imperfect apple is not saleable. Vegans contribute to big ag, which destroys animal habitat to run their mega farms, and yet congratulate themselves that they are being compassionate to animals. Cows in a well-maintained grass field will coexist with other wildlife and insects, a strawberry field will not.

Did somebody on here seriously say they can’t eat honey because they’re allergic to bees? I’m deathly allergic to bees and eat ONLY raw, unfiltered honey all the time. For my entire life. It’s not like the bee is stinging the honey as they make it.
And I’m still alive. Going on 40 years old.
The mis-information being spewed by those who know nothing about beekeeping is laughable.
Beekeepers don’t kill their hives and bees will move somewhere else if you don’t remove honeycombs to give room for them to build more.
It’s what bees do, they build constantly.
how long with this syrup keep for?
Hi Vegans, Vegetarians and everyone else. Do you know that it has been proven beyond any doubt that PLANTS can feel pain too , when they are cut, picked plucked and torn out of the ground and then thrown into boiling water or frying pans ???…….Just a thought.
Birch tree sap? Or Sap from a maple tree?
The lady I asked a very simple and polite question .Then a few have to decide make rude & disrespectful comments .Hmm Interesting to say the least . As I always say consider the source.from where it comes . Just because someone doesn’t eat meat or does doesn’t change anything and doesn’t make them . Wow
All I see in the comments are long discussions about veganism and conversions from kg to lbs.
Apparently, we all agree this recipe was used by our ancestors to relieve phlegm. When exactly was that? Were the bees domesticated (circa 15000 years ago), or was this back in times when humans employed more of a Winnie-the-Pooh approach towards gathering honey? Were they willing to risk dozens of stings in order to relieve their itchy throats?
Oh, and I guess we all agree without a doubt that this concoction works. Because heat releases vitamins in carrots, honey has antibacterial properties; therefore a 2-day old cold spoonful of honey orange mash will travel up into your sinuses and deliver swift demise to the vast colonies of green throat funk.
Now somebody please tell me how many carrots are in 1/2kg while I defend my idea that all things entering my pie hole never suffered.
if it weren’t for bees vegans wouldn’t have anything to eat, almost every plant that produces fruit or seeds is pollinated by an exploited bee. Man there is going to be a lot of hungry vegans/
Lol yep, you can’t live in this world without using benefits of plants, trees, water
I’ve seen a lot if misinformation on here about honey production. I can only speak for beekeeping practices in our area, and I didn’t read ALL the posts, so some beekeeper may have already written. But if not:
Beekeepers are very sensitive to their bees and the bees needs. After all, if the bees aren’t happy, they might not produce well, or worse, they might move away! Beekeepers only feed sugar (can be done in different forms) when necessary. It is always better to keep enough honey in the hive to feed the bees their natural food during the winter months. But, a weak hive might not have stored up enough honey even for themselves. With no food, they might die out before spring comes. In this case, an attentive beekeeper would feed them by giving them frames of honey from another hive. Or, by feeding sugar. Beekeepers are certainly aware that all their bees need good quality food, so feeding them sugar is a last resort.
Bees don’t really like to be messed with and killing even a single bee can get them a little riled up. So, beekeepers are careful with their hives. Lots of beekeepers don’t even wear gloves when they work their hives!
Unfiltered honey is simply honey that was extracted from the comb. It can contain wax/ comb, bee parts, etc (there shouldn’t be ants or ant parts in the honey). I don’t know why anyone would use unfiltered honey when you can easily filter out these things without heating the honey. My honey is raw, all natural, filtered, not heated. Only if it crystallizes, do I heat it slightly (100*) to de-crystallize it. At that low temperature, it is still considered raw/all natural. There shouldn’t be much difference in clarity of the honey because there isn’t THAT much comb or parts in it to cloud they honey!
I am vegan (diet), but I use wood, eat honey and wear cotton. I will kill a bee if it gets caught in my clothing. I save worms when they get stuck on the sidewalk but scare the pigeons in the park. I grew up eating meat and would eat it again, if I needed to. I am vegan for health reasons, not for animal rights reasons. I think it’s a mistake to say that “veganism is a way of life”, because it’s not a way of life that ALL vegans believe in or follow.
wow
Wow this was a tuff one to follow. I actually found it pretty entertaining
As for keys in ignition at Dubai airport, this is a rumor that has been planted around December 2008, but it isn’t true. At best, it is urban legend, at worst deliberate information waafTre.rhat is what my friends in Dubai say.The local newspaper actually mentioned 11 cars (not 3000) and even that information is highly suspect.
Haha, shouldn’t you be charging for that kind of kneodwlge?!
Don’t worry bout it Faye, it was you…it was that damn auto-correct!
I could not find any details,of who has tried this recipe.hope you are still living.

So that put the dampers ,on the diet. As my chest is so bad. The carrots had better work!
I truly can’t believe people will comment all this because some one wanted to help someone’s cough. People can be so rude. Have a nice day. ☺
I said what I wanted to say in other comment thank you.
Agave syrup
How long is the shelf life for this. And does it need to stay in the frig. Thanks
Wow I just wanted to see if anyone tried it and if it worked. I appreciate all the bee information and have always admired bee keepers. I am not even close to vegan, but vegan or not vegan it’s a personal choice so don’t be so mean and don’t judge others by your convictions. I do think it is important to rightly be informed, but in the end it’s still a personal choice.
