Nuts and Honey Milk Shake:
Honey Milk Shake, Nuts Milk Shake.
Honey is truly an insect product. It has high nutritive value, loaded with vitamins. However the food value of honey may be estimated by the presence of sugar in it, approximately 80% of sugar. One should not be confused with honey is a direct plant product because of the nectar, pollen and cane-sugar being secretions of flowers!! As they are all digested by honey bees, get mixed with their saliva and undergo certain chemical changes due to enzyme action. At this stage sucrose (sucrose) is converted into dextrose and levulose (invert sugar). At this very same time, some of the ingredients of honeybees are also added to the mixture and the water content gets reduced (so honey thickens). The whole mixture is then collected into the crop of honeybees…until the bees reaches the hive. As the bees reaches the hive, this compound is regurgitated into the hive cell and now it is officially known as ‘Honey’.

Dear Malar,
learning new intersting things really, each time I peep in here;
though I understood (approximatively) the journey of the nectar from the plant to the bee hive, passing through the mouth of the bee, (you see I managed to understand something, hehehe) but the part where the nectar/pollen/canesugar undergoes the chemical reaction from sucrose to dextrose and levulose, hehehe, I think I’m confused …( old souvenirs of science class, coming up my mind….)
I think I need a tuition class, could you please explain that for me, Miss.Malar?
:):)

Such a healthy drink. I am not familiar with Piyal Seeds; do you think I can find them in California? If not is there a substitute?
Mimi
What a wonderful drink?Awesome!

Thank you girls:)
Malar,
Thank you for all your lovely comments. It truly inspires me to come up with innovative recipes. And I am digging this milkshake as I am a milkshake/smoothie/lassie loving girl.
Yummy and healthy drink.
Hello Mimi,
Piyal seeds can be certainly substituted with pumpkin seeds or cucumber seeds. If you are particular about piyal seeds, check it out at nearby Indian stores, in your place.
what a great idea incorporating nuts in the milk shake!
