Oh Honey. There is a reason why those who first discovered honey thought it was the food of the gods. Sticky, golden nectar has been used in almost every application imaginable, from cooking and baking to skincare products and as a natural remedy for countless ailments. Honey also has the super power of being one of the few foods that never go bad. No wonder nearly every culture has a story or legend surrounding honey’s origin!
Not all honey is the same
In some cases, you don’t really get any honey. More than three-quarters of the honey on your local shelves is not honey at all – erek, according to a test by Food Safety News. This “honey” is overprocessed, passed through high pressure filters to remove pollen. No pollen, no real honey. The most important thing to consider when buying honey is where honey is made and processed. Nothing makes cuts outside of the United States.
Raw honey – what’s important?
Raw honey is honey as it should be – no filtration, heat treatment, and no artificial flavors. Raw honey contains traces of pollen and propolis, and you will notice the crystallization process if it is real. The key to finding pure honey in Paksitan is to shop locally – usually at your local farmers’ markets and health food stores, raw, unfiltered honey is available for sale from your area. You shop locally, support your surroundings and buy real honey – how sweet is that?
The possibilities (and benefits) are endless!
It’s no secret that honey has numerous benefits. Unlike sugar, it is rich in vitamins and minerals. Honey has been used as an antiseptic to relieve burns, and surprisingly honey has been associated with potentially an anti-cancer agent. Adding some honey to your diet can give your skin a healthy glow, so why not make a face mask out of it to fight acne? Now it’s time to get a copy of The Secret Life of Bees and rest with a little raw, organic honey on your face, in your tea and definitely in your daily routine.
