I've been trying to come up with more raw recipes for snacks and treats to keep all their nutrients in them, rather then baked which kills vitamin nutrients and pasteurizes the honey...
'Does unpasteurized honey have any health benefits? Yes! Honey is more than just a sweetener! There are many health benefits of honey and it has a long history of use as a "medicine." Eating honey has a stabilizing effect on our body's blood sugar levels and does not stimulate as rapid insulin production as sucrose (table sugar) or glucose. Honey has an antibacterial effect and inhibits the growth of many bacteria strains, including the bacteria responsible for ulcers. Honey has been used in topical dressings to treat infected surgical wounds, burns, and skin grafts. Honey significantly increases antioxidant levels in the blood while improving immune system activity. A tablespoon or more of honey consumed at bedtime promotes natural restorative sleep by preventing metabolic stress due to depleted liver glycogen stores. Without metabolic stress during rest, stress hormones are not released, maximum fat-burning during rest is possible, and natural restoration of body tissues and immune system functions occurs naturally.'
Honey in the bear shaped plastic container is pasteurized and is not healthy!
