FAQS

Don't throw away your honey just because it crystalizes on you!! That is how you know you have real honey.  If it doesn't crystallize, then you know you've been dupped.  

Honey is made up of glucose and fructose. Since it is super-saturated, the natural chemical process will cause it to have the sugars in it eventually come out... thus crystallizing. 

So, what do you do...? It's a fairly simple process. Put your honey in a warm, not hot, pan... and if plastic, put a plate under your honey so that the bottom of the container doesn't become a weeble wabble and not sit straight up again. Let it slowly warm up. If you absolutely have to, you can use a microwave, but do it in seconds of 15. Take it out, shake it up,  and do it again. We don't recommend this as you can microwave the nutrients out of it.

Honey is the only food that does not have an expiration date. The hygroscopy (Hygroscopy is the phenomenon of attracting and holding water molecules via either absorption or adsorption from the surrounding environment, which is usually at normal or room temperature) and the  low pH... these  two qualities make it difficult for the viscous 

substance to spoil.

Studies show that consuming local, unprocessed, seasonal wildflower honey can serve as a helpful adjunct to controlling allergy symptoms. Eating local, seasonal honey, utilizes the same theory of small exposure to the allergens found in the local pollen. When bees pollinate flowers, they carry some of the pollen back to the hive where the honey is produced. Honey collected from the local hives contains the pollen of the surrounding areas that circulate in the air and can cause allergies. Thus, eating the honey helps you become immune and helps your allergies.

Honeybees collect sugar from nectar-rich flowers in the environment producing a sweet, thick liquid we know as honey.

 This sweet goodness has many health benefits that most people do not know about, as long as you are getting it from a quality source. The nutritional value and chemical composition of raw honey can vary depending on which country, environment, and types of flowers the bees gather their nectar.

The primary benefit of consuming raw honey is its content of bioactive plant compounds or antioxidants. These antioxidants have been linked to lower blood pressure, reduced risk of heart attacks, strokes, some cancers, and promote brain and eye health. 

Many doctors have recommended substituting raw honey for sugar because of its healing properties based on recent studies. Some evidence suggests honey can help arteries in your heart dilate, increasing blood flow to your heart, preventing blood clots. Some studies show honey can reduce risk factors for heart disease, lower "bad" cholesterol & triglycerides, and simultaneously improve "good" cholesterol in people with diabetes. In one study, honey was an effective treatment for diabetic foot ulcers, healing 97% of the patients in the study. It may be slightly better than refined sugar, but it also raises blood sugar levels, so people with diabetes should consume honey cautiously.

A review of 26 studies based on topical honey as a treatment found honey to be most effective at healing wounds and burns, possibly why it has been used worldwide for thousands of years and is still as useful and practical today. Research has also shown honey to be a potent prebiotic, killing unwanted bacteria and fungus while nourishing the good bacteria in our intestines responsible for our digestion and health.

Babies under the age of 1 should never be given raw, unfiltered honey. For anyone older than 1 year old, honey can be a natural and safe throat remedy or cough suppressant. Several studies have found honey can reduce cough symptoms and improve sleep even more than some cough medications. In the end, honey is a healthier option than sugar, and its benefits are most received when substituting it for other sweeteners.
