Wild Honeycomb and Raisins-on-the-Vine Now Available in CM Produce

Written by Austin M., Central Market Produce Inspector on Wednesday, November 18 2009

Two new naturally sweet dry items are now available in Central Market Produce departments: wild honeycomb and raisins-on-the-vine.

Delicately sun-dried, raisins-on-the-vine are plump, sweet and full of a complexity of flavor that regular tray raisins don’t have. Their sweet caramel flavor with a hint of smokiness, and rustic, natural appearance, is a perfect choice for cheese trays and wine pairings. These are a buyer favorite, give them a shot!
 
Collected from beehives around the pristine New Zealand countryside, Wild honeycomb is honey in its purest, most natural form. Wildflowers such as clover, thistle, dandelion and buttercup, lend a balanced, medium-bodied sweetness to the rich golden honey inside the delicate wax combs. Wild honeycomb is not heated or processed in any way – beekeepers simply cut the natural honeycomb into 12-inch square blocks, encase them in light wooden frames and wrap in cellophane. 
 
Honeycomb is entirely edible, and many people enjoy slices of fresh honeycomb on toast for breakfast. Others may choose to discard the beeswax after chewing and enjoying the honey inside. To use just the honey, cut away portions and drain the honey from the comb to use in recipes.
