The Taste of Rainforest
Organic
Raw Wild Honey
|
Unsurpassed for richness and depth of taste among all honeys. Native bees store a rare honey
using nectar from flowering forest trees.
A complex sensation with a subtle aftertaste . . .
|
You first notice a pleasant woodsy aroma, then a strong unique sweetness.
The taste is almost spicy, with threads of exotic fruits.

Health Benefits of Rainforest
Organic
Raw Wild Honey
|
Honey has some unique
properties that provide health benefits beyond its delicious taste and
sweetening capacity. The oligosaccharides in honey have been suggested
to promote the growth of beneficial bifidobacteria in the colon. This
colonization may be useful following diarrhea or an extended use of
antibiotics.
Honey is also rich in health-promoting antioxidants such as pinocembrin and pinobanksin.
|
The antioxidant content
does vary depending upon the floral source and correlates with
color....Of interest to the person with type II diabetes, the use of
honey produces a smaller blood glucose and insulin response than
similar amounts of carbohydrate from sucrose. Since honey contains
large amounts of fructose it tends to be sweeter (depending upon the
temperature) than regular sugar, so that less may be used.

Your Diet and Rainforest
Organic
Raw Wild Honey
|
Honey is the epitome of a summer food, redolent of flowers and golden,
sun-filled days. Add some sweetness to your life - and your cooking -
with this delectable food.
Honey is an organic, natural sugar alternative with no additives that
is easy on the stomach, adapts to all cooking processes, and has an
indefinite shelf-life.
Its name comes from the English hunig, and it was the first
and most widespread sweetener used by man. Legend has it that Cupid
dipped his love arrows in honey before aiming at unsuspecting lovers.
In the Old Testament of the Bible, Israel was often referred to as "the land of milk and honey."
|
Mead, an alcoholic drink made from honey was called "nectar of the gods," high praise indeed.
Honey was valued highly and often used as a form of currency, tribute,
or offering. In the 11th century A.D., German peasants paid their
feudal lords in honey and beeswax.
Although experts argue whether the honeybee is native to the Americas,
conquering Spaniards in 1600 A.D. found native Mexicans and Central
Americans had already developed beekeeping methods to produce honey.
Many honey fans replace the sugar in their diet entirely with honey.

Cooking with honey differs from cooking with sugar, though, so recipes will generally have to be adjusted accordingly.
For
example, honey is hygroscopic, which means it absorbs moisture.
Replacing sugar with honey in your baking will therefore result in
cakes that remain moist for longer.
As honey tastes ‘sweeter’ than sugar does, the general
advice is to use one quantity of honey to replace one-and-one-quarter
quantities of sugar.

Honey is delicious in marinades for meats such as pork chops, chicken
or duck, but you need to be careful once it goes in the oven because
honey burns relatively quickly. One tip is to wipe off the marinade and
pour it onto the food half-way through cooking to get a beautifully
lacquered finish.
Honey has an affinity with milk products. As well as putting it on your
breakfast yoghurt, do as the Italians do and drizzle honey over thin
slices of cheese as a deliciously sweet-and-salty end to a meal.w Recipes
