Raw Honey - Nature's Superfood Nectar of Nutrients!
Raw honey is one of nature's richest
top superfood sugar substitutes,
containing over 80 different health giving proponents because of it's unprocessed nature.
Pure, unheated honey embodies the natural bouquet of wild flower pollination and has a more potent source of enzymes and healing elements, in general, compared to that of refined varieties.
Truly raw honey is pure and creamy smooth with fine textured crystals that stores indefinitely and improves with age.
It is a great alternative sweetener because it enters the blood slowly therefore maintaining a balanced stream of energy.

Health Benefits:
Raw honey contains antioxidants and nutraceuticals, which are important nutrients that provide health benefits beyond the average metabolic activity to help in neutralizing the free radical activity in the body.
They are vital for overall function of the immune system.
The less processed your honey the better. Honey straight from the hive can be found if you know bee keeper's in your area that will sell it directly to you. Otherwise there are plenty of filtered raw honeys available.
It is always best to consume local honey that is produced by bees in your area which provides immune stimulating properties needed for your body to adapt to its environment.
Sometimes your local farmers market is a good place to start! I also love to get to know my bee keeper's personally, they are usually really interesting people with a lot of information about honey and bee's in general.
A Word About Bees!
Bee's have been seen in cultures around the world as mythical symbols representing fertility and "the honey of life". They are one of the most prized and useful insects because without their abilities to gather and pollinate many flowers and fruits would not blossom.
When I consume the honey they create from this beautiful exchange, it feels like precious golden nectar. And to also think about all the different flower energies within it. It is truly a magical super food!
Bees have a natural 4 mile radius from the hive, collecting honey from the surrounding areas within this circumference.
So you are really getting a variety of honey from many different wild flowers depending on the location.
I also love to indulge on occasion in honey from tropic forest climates that are lush with life. It seems to contain within it the vibrations of tropical flowers!!
We are currently eating a wild Macadamia blossom honey that spreads like butter.....devine!! See left pic.
