Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I knew honey was good for you but I didn't know the difference between regular "commercial" honey and raw honey. I actually purchased it for making homemade creams. Since I didn't know much, I started looking into it and this is what I found: Based on my "research", the majority of honey that you buy at a store is made to be spreadable through pasteurization. During the pasteurization of that honey, the yeast and enzymes are partially killed to make it appear more "appealing" to the customer, and eases the processes of bottling it for purchasing it on the shelf. The commercial honey is easier to spread because it's been processed to prevent fermentation... This can cause problems if left on the shelf for a long time. The pasteurization also causes it to taste different. * On that note, I do have to tell you that I was spreading this on my son's toast the other morning and when I wasn't looking, he scooped a big spoon of it out of the jar and shoved it in his mouth. The face he made was hilarious!! He has never tried raw honey and told me that it is the sweetest honey he has ever had. He said that, although, it was good it was WAY too overwhelming in such a large dose. Hahaha. He did agree that a tiny amount is much better than a spoonful. This is MUCH different than the honey he has been used to eating, which at times has consisted of him sucking it out of a straw. Ok, so back to my amateur research... I found out that eating raw honey is healthier because it is alkalizing in the body. It's qualities are similar to that of fruit and can be used to aid indigestion, relieve nausea, and give you a bit of energy. When you buy raw honey, you can expect to see a speck here and there because it is not processed to remove everything. So you may see tiny bits of honeycomb, bee wings, or something of that sort. This doesn't mean it's "dirty", it means it's legitimately raw. (Which is a good thing.) I have to tell you that when I read the reviews before, I was VERY worried about what to expect. I almost didn't buy this... but now I'm glad I did. I'm attaching some pictures to show you the crystallization. It comes out nice and rich, is incredibly sweet, and definitely worth the buy.
