I do not know about you, but I used to always buy the cheapest honey in the store and never understood the wide price range between brands. After seeing the 'queen of honey' (I'm not kidding, there is such a thing) at our State fair this past summer I changed my habits.
I just discovered this article and thought it explained the differences nicely. Most importantly it gives brands to stay away from as they could be dangerous!
Why we love honey:
"Raw honey is thought to have many medicinal properties," says Kathy Egan, dietitian at College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass. "Stomach ailments, anemia and allergies are just a few of the conditions that may be improved by consumption of unprocessed honey." At our house, we use honey before bed for sore throats! One medicine my son will not argue taking!!
