Honey is a sweet fluid produced by honey bees and derived from the nectar of flowers.  Three of the key health benefits - nature’s energy booster, great immunity system builder, and a natural remedy for some ailments.

The benefits of honey go beyond its great taste. An abundant natural source of carbohydrates which provide strength and energy to our bodies, honey is known for its effectiveness in instantly boosting the performance, endurance and reduce muscle fatigue of athletes. Its natural fruit sugars play an important role in preventing fatigue during exercise. The glucose in honey is absorbed by the body quickly and gives an immediate energy boost, while the fructose is absorbed more slowly providing sustained energy. It is known that honey has also been found to keep levels of blood sugar fairly constant compared to other types of sugar.

Amongst the many health benefits of honey, it can be a powerful immune system booster. Honey’s antioxidant and anti-bacterial properties can help improve digestive system and help you stay healthy and fight disease.  Studies have shown that local regional honey helps both the prevention and minimization of allergies.  The key is the pollen - the pollen in the honey comes from the bees who are pollinating local plants.   But even if you do not live in the Florida region, you can enjoy the many vitamin and nutrient benefits while enjoying the great taste of our raw, unfiltered, pure honey.

For thousands of years, honey has been recognized as one of the most natural home remedies to treat a wide range of ailments and complaints including yeast infection , athlete foot , and arthritis pain. Its antiseptic properties inhibits the growth of certain bacteria and helps keep external wounds clean and free from infection. Honey has been used as a natural cure in first aid treatment for wounds, burns and cuts as it is able to absorb moisture from the air and promote healing. Its antibacterial properties prevent infection and functions as an anti-inflammatory agent, reducing both swelling and pain, and even scarring.
