Honey Honey is the product from the bee’s collection and natural processing of flower nectar. The composition of honey varies depending on the source of the nectar, but all varieties are nutrient rich.Honey is bacteria-resistant and may be used topically and internally for healing purposes. Traditionally, Honey has been used to soothe sore throats, calm stomach pains, treat cold and flu symptoms and to dress open wounds. Non-pasteurized honey contains many natural enzymes, minerals and vitamins which are important to maintain a healthy body. Honey provides nutritious sweetening which may be substituted for sugar in coffee, tea and many recipes. Because honey is twice as sweet compared to sugar, only half the amount is needed when substituting, therefore it reduces the caloric intake. |
Maple Syrup Maple syrup is one of nature’s purest foods. It is made from sugar maple trees, found only in north eastern North America.A maple tree can be tapped after it becomes 10" in diameter, or about 40 years of age. It would take 5 to 6 trees of this size, if the whole tapping season was above freezing days and with freezing nights, to yield enough sap for one gallon of maple syrup! It requires 57 1/3 gallons of 1.5% brix sap to produce a gallon of maple syrup. 56 1/3 gallons of water are boiled out as steam. To make maple sugar, even more water is boiled out until the syrup will crystalize when stirred. In this whole process, nothing is ever added to the product. Quantity depends totally on Mother Nature. The sap stops running if it warms up too quickly and temperatures are above freezing during the night. |
