EXPOSED: 50 THINGS YOU DID NOT KNOW ABOUT HONEY

   

#50WondersofHoney

 

Honey has been valued as a natural sweetener long before sugar became widely available in the 16th century. Honey production flourished in ancient Greece and Sicily, for instance, while animals other than humans – bears, badgers, and more – have long raided honeybee hives, risking stings for the sweet reward.

Honey is truly a remarkable substance, made even more extraordinary by the process with which it is made. This blend of sugar, trace enzymes, minerals, vitamins, and amino acids is quite unlike any other sweetener on the planet.

And while honey is high in fructose, it has many health benefits when used in moderation (assuming you’re healthy). Before I delve into those, here’s a brief “lesson” on how honey is made...  

How Honey Is Made (Fascinating!)

It takes about 60,000 bees, collectively traveling up to 55,000 miles and visiting more than 2 million flowers, to gather enough nectar to make one pound of honey.

Once the nectar is gathered, the bee stores it in its extra stomach where it mixes with enzymes, and then passes it (via regurgitation) to another bee’s mouth. This process is repeated until the nectar becomes partially digested and is then deposited into a honeycomb.

Once there, the honeybees fan the liquid nectar with their wings, helping the water to evaporate and create the thick substance you know as “honey.” This honeycomb is then sealed with a liquid secretion from the bee’s abdomen, which hardens into beeswax. As Live Science reported:

“Away from air and water, honey can be stored indefinitely, providing bees with the perfect food source for cold winter months.”

There are more than 300 kinds of honey in the US, each with a unique colour and flavor that is dependent upon the nectar source. Lighter coloured honeys, such as those made from orange blossoms, tend to be milder in flavor while darker-coloured honeys, like those made from wildflowers tend to have a more robust flavour.

Do you know that honey contains important ingredient such as:

1.    Acids: Citrus acid, folic acid, Nicotine acid.

2.    Carbondindes: Anotace, fruitose, Glucose, Protease.

3.    Minerals: Calcium, Copper, Iodine, Iron, Magazine, Nickel, Phosphorus, Potassium, Silver, Sulphur, Sodium, Zinc etc.

4.    Vitamins: A, BI, B2,B12,C4 and K

While carried out research on honey, I dug up something that was quite intrigued about honey, which I  termed WONDERS OF HONEY. This forms the reason, why I expose this secret of honey to everybody. I decided to put it on eBook for you.

In the eBook, which is in (PDF) form, you will find it quite interesting to know about 50 things that you did not know before about honey and how it is being used. This little secret will be unveiled to you, when you buy this eBook.
