Hello All,
A beekeeper which keeps a apiary near the Everglades in Florida tells me how
the Black Mangrove honey  will darken soon after extracting. I know Black
Mangrove grow with their roots in salt water.  He says the honey has a high
mineral content ,and although golden brown when extracted,turns dark due to
the acidity of the honey.
Is there something in the mineral content which causes the dark color  later
or is the cause the acidity?  Will all honey with high acid content darken
later?
Sincerely,
Bob Harrison
