-Can be used as a sweetener in place of unhealthy refined sugars, corn syrups,etc
-Other companies heat their honey which can destroy the nutrients in honey.
-Some add water to their honey to stretch the honey they can sell.
-Other add corn syrup to it so it stays in that form. A "raw" honey will crystallize and people think it has gone bad, so they add the syrup to it to look nice.
Tip:
To bring honey back to it's liquified state, bring a pan of water to boiling. Remove from heat and be sure the water's temperature is 120 degrees before placing the jar of honey inside. Cover the pan with the jar of honey with foil to keep the heat longer. Usually, by the next day, the honey should be liquified. If not, repeat the pan full of hot water.
It is extremely important that honey not be liquefied in a microwave oven!! It's a sure-fire way of totally destroying the honey's great benefits and taste!
-Tiny amounts of pollen found in locally-grown raw honey work over time to desensitize the body to a particular allergen
