Raw organic honey is as healthy as it is delectable. I tried raw
organic honey one day while shopping for groceries at the neighborhood nutrition
store. It didn’t look appealing from the outside of the bottle, it looked quite
waxy to be honest, but I was curious as to how it would taste. We try to keep
our diet as organic as possible in my house so we’re always looking for
something new and interesting to add to the mix. Honey is sweet so you can’t go
wrong there. It can be used to sweeten our tea or add to a peanut butter
sandwich for my daughter’s school lunch, so I knew at the very least that it
wouldn’t go to waste.
I always pictured honey as a healthy sweetener that is
fun to have on occasion. To my knowledge, honey was healthy though possibly a
little too sweet to consume in abundance. Honey is one of those things that you
don’t have at the top of the list when shopping at the grocery store. You very
rarely hear anyone speak about eating honey and it is certainly not advertised
very much on television. You most likely will not see a grocery store special on
honey this week and many young children are probably not even aware of its
existence unless it’s something they simply associate with bees. Honey is not
the hottest item on the market right now, so there might be a lack of awareness
of its health benefits.
Allow me to start by describing the experience I
had when I first opened my jar of raw organic honey. The appearance did not
change much once I opened the jar, as it looked just as waxy as it did from the
outside. I was guessing that this might be one of those products where the
non-organic version has been so processed I might not be prepared for the real
thing. I began to get a little timid about tasting the first spoonful. Will it
taste as weird as it looks? My family looked on as I hesitantly scooped out a
pea-size sample and smelled it before following through with the taste test,

Sure enough,

Raw
organic honey is the definition of God’s gift to sweetness. The flavor was out
of this world and I couldn’t imagine how I would prevent myself from indulging
in its goodness for the rest of the night,

couldn’t wait to try it once they saw the look of satisfaction on my face as if
I discovered new uncharted territory. Everyone loved it and I had to place it on
a high shelf to prevent my daughter from eating it for dinner. I couldn’t
believe the difference between your average store-bought honeys to this pure,

Once I became hooked, I
decided it might be a good idea to learn more about the nutritional information
pertaining to raw organic honey. How much is too much and what if any health
benefit does it have? I loved it so much I wanted to use it in everything and
I’m not just talking about food. I remembered that I used to make my own facial
masks and that they included honey. I wondered what it would be like to slather
it on my face; after all, you shouldn’t put anything on your face that you can’t
eat. I gave it a shot. The label stated that it includes antioxidants and we
ladies just love the sound of that word. It had the consistency of a peel-off
mask as I applied it and I noticed the feeling of my pores beginning to tighten-
not too shabby. I gave it a few minutes and wiped it from my face with a warm
facecloth. If you want to remember what your face felt like when you were five
years old, then give this technique a try. Raw organic honey is also a great
natural conditioner for your hair and can be used to wash your hands due to its
antibacterial and antimicrobial factors.
I looked up more information on
the nutritional value of raw organic honey and found that it offers so much more
than you would imagine it could. Raw organic honey contains 22 amino acids, 27
minerals and 5,000 live enzymes! Notice that I am writing about raw organic
honey because it is untainted, the way nature intended. It is free of chemicals,
artificial additives and pesticides. The pollen in non-organic honey is removed
to help prevent granulation but this is where much of the nutritional value of
honey is found.
