Did you know that honey is good for you?

Honey is one of the best natural sweeteners there is. Other than its antibacterial and antifungal properties, honey helps the body regulate blood sugar levels. It contains Flavonoids and antioxidants that lower your risk of cancer. It also can act as a probiotic which strengthens the immune system.

Maybe you knew it had health benefits but did you know that honey that you buy in stores, processed honey that is jarred in factories, actually take out all of the benefits? This is mostly because they remove the pollen. You can't physically see the difference. But you can taste it. The pollen also gives it flavor.

Hopefully you can see that you should buy local honey from a honey/bee farm if you want to get its benefits. My favorite honeys are Orange and Avocado. That means that bees were pollinating the flowers on those trees. The avocado is surprisingly the sweetest honey I've ever tasted!
