Promised Land Honey - honey, beekeeping, & more

Did you know that honey has many healing and health benefits? Just read on to see just how amazing this food really is!

*Honey is the only food that contains all the substances that are necessary for life, including water.

*Honey helps to sooth minor burns and can prevent scarring because it attracts and absorbs moisture.

*Honey supplies 2 stages of energy. The glucose in honey is absorbed by the body quickly and gives an immediate energy boost. The fructose is absorbed more slowly providing sustained energy.

*Honey is a strong antibacterial food. Bees add an enzyme glucose oxidase to honey and this enzyme reacts with glucose to produce hydrogen peroxide and gluconic acid, both of which have an antibacterial effect.

*Honey is hygroscopic (absorbs moisture) and will remove moisture from the air if the relative humidity exceeds 60%. This makes it a favorite ingredient when baking since it keeps the baked goods moist - longer.
