Honey \\u2013 one of the most natural foods. In the supermarket, honey is found labelled as coming from clover, buckwheat, alfalfa or maybe orange blossom. The label might just read \\u2018honey\\u2019 without any indication of its source of nectar. But is the nectar source even important to those of us wishing to become more conscientious eaters? As Deconstructing Dinner has discovered, there is a curiosity surrounding honey \\u2013 a curiosity, which has rarely, if ever, been spoken\\u2026. until now!

It turns out, in Canada, 80% of all the honey produced in the country is from the nectar of canola \\u2013 yet, nowhere on the grocery store shelves do we ever see honey labelled as \\u201ccanola honey\\u201d. And so the question becomes \\u2013 just where is all that canola honey ending up?\\xa0
