Two words that are good to be aware of when looking for honey are raw and local.
Raw honey is honey that has not been heated or pasteurized and contains natural enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Local honey contains a blend of local pollen that can help strengthen a person’s immune system as well as decrease symptoms of pollen allergies. It can also be a natural antiseptic, reduce the lifespan of colds, contains healing properties, and helps to tame/manage the stomach flu.
Farm fresh eggs contain less cholesterol and saturated fats than store-bought eggs. They also contain more vitamins A, D, E, and omega-3 fatty acids and beta carotene. All of these nutrients can help with day to day functions and can assist in preventing multiple chronic diseases.
Is your mouth watering yet? I know mine is!
Not only do you get better flavor and more nutrient-dense foods, but you are also supporting your local community by shopping local. Now, more than ever, it is important to do our part to keep our small businesses alive.
