100% PURE RAW NORTH CAROLINA SOURWOOD HONEY 32 OZ WITH HARDWOOD STIRRER. Artisan beekeeping requires that the bees be placed in the target location at the precise time of pollination so that they are tempted only to the flowers of that particular plant. Sourwood Honey is very hard to find because a good grove of Sourwood trees are simply not available everywhere - it grows only from South Carolina through the mid-Atlantic states to Pennsylvania with a short bloom period. Sourwood Honey has an intense, woody (almost smoky) flavor and clean aroma that is unique among artisan honeys and the texture has a smooth and almost buttery quality with a light amber color. It will impart a complexity to your baked goods or sauces, is delicious on waffles, and is sensational in your black or herbal teas where it shines through. And included is the beautiful hardwood stirrer shown. BRAND NEW. SHIPS NOW!

ABOUT RAW HONEY: Humankind has eaten honey for over 3,000 years and the ancients also relied upon honey as a medicinal and cosmetic. There is a BIG difference between processed honey and raw honey. Processed honey is heat-treated, filtered and often has additives like corn syrup (why?????). Raw honey is antibacterial and antibiotic, with a substance called inhibine which will prevent infection and promote healing of wounds and burns, and also makes it a good skin conditioner. Easy to digest and soothing to the digestive tract. Raw honey contains natural antioxidants, enzymes, amino acids, vitamins, calcium, iron, zinc, potassium, phosphorous, magnesium, copper, chromium, manganese, selenium, neutraceutical (strengthens immune system). Where refined sugars give you an immediate energy jolt, but with negative after effect, Raw Honey's simple sugars will enhance your energy and stamina in a more natural, sustained way. Raw Honey also promotes "good" digestive bacteria, reduces homocystein which makes it heart healthy, and raw honey does not require refrigeration!
