Organic Honey

Updated on March 5, 2013

Honey Is One Of The Best Foods That You Can Eat

The difference between Organic honey and other natural honey is that organic honey has been tested to make sure that it is free of pesticides and other environmental pollutants which might be harmful to the body.

Since honey bees only travel within a limited radius from the hive, it is necessary for producers of organic honey to make sure that no commercial fertilizers, pesticides or other chemicals which are harmful to the environment are being used within 5km (3 miles) of the hive.

This is the reason for a more expensive price tag when you see organic honey in the store, however being assured that this honey is of the finest quality and free of any substance that might prove harmful to the body, it's well worth paying a little extra for the sake of your health.

Honey is one of the best foods that you can eat and has been recognized for thousands of years as having almost magical powers when it comes to healing the body and boosting the immune system.

While you can usually find limited types of honey in your local grocery or natural good store, there are far more types of organic honey to choose from if you shop online, and with honey not only tasting different but having different properties depending on where it was produced, you can buy a selection of brands and enjoy sampling them to see which you enjoy the most.

Why Eat Honey?

For thousands of years, people have been using honey as a natural sweetener for foods and drinks, but the benefits of eating honey go far beyond this.

Honey is a natural antioxidant that can boost your immune system, helping you to fight off all kinds of diseases, as well as to combat fatigue. Just look at many remedies for the common cold or flu and you will find that honey is one of the main ingredients.

The magical power of honey is far from being an "old-wives tale", since natural honey contains 22 amino acids, 27 minerals, and 5,000 enzymes.

Honey can also be used to heal wounds as well as to treat a sore mouth and gums, and if used on the skin or as a face mask, it can leave the skin feeling as soft as a baby's.

While it might not be a miracle cure, honey can also help treat impotency in men and infertility in women, so it truly is a remarkable product that we so often take for granted or ignore.

Manuka Honey

Manuka honey comes only from Australia and New Zealand and is made from the pollen of the Manuka tree. Manuka honey is darker in color than most other honey's and is also thicker. It has good in vitro antibacterial properties and is becoming very popular.
