re: Is honey really better for us than sugar?

I get alfalfa and clover honey from a commercial beekeeper that brings his bees south from North Dakota every winter.
North Dakota produces the most honey in the country. They produce in the daylight and there is quite a lot of it in the North during the honey flow which is typically May to end of June/mid July
My wife is deep into beekeeping. Take a bit of that North Dakota honey and drizzle on a big chunk of salmon, just a slight (very slight) dust of cayenne pepper and roast it.
Your welcome.

I buy Bernard's
A very good one. They have a hell of an operation. They start the centrifuge and the honey comes out of an 8" pipe. That's a lot of frikkin honey.

Have seen you mention this before. Does she sell it locally or do they do some sort of Co-Op with beekeeper people to sell?
Always try to buy honey as local as possible, read something many years ago about the health benefits of local honey.
Also, on topic of the OP. I much rather use honey or steens over regular sugar when cooking.

BS is too difficult to store. It clumps up.
For me it works to freeze it and just break off the amount I need. A whole bag thaws in just a couple minutes.

She doesn't sell it. She gives it away to family and friends and believe me they go through it and aren't shy about showing up at the door with an empty honey pot like frikking Winnie the Pooh.
All the fruit stands carry a couple different local, Naylors has a couple as do a lot of Hardware stores. Guy has a sign on Kenilworth that sells it. Pretty easy to find. Bocage Honey in Drusilla. She has hives all over the state as well as her backyard in Bocage,but I find her to be a bit high.

I don't know a ton about it, but isn't there some sort of unfiltered or unpasteurized version of honey?
The kind that crystallizes up reminds me of being a kid, love that shite.

for a person of average metabolism, sugar is sugar.
a calorie is a calorie, your body doesn't know the difference
at the end of the day its calories in vs calories out, really doesn't matter what makes up those calories in.
1000 calories of donuts is the same as 1000 calories of grilled chicken and veggies to your body, the reason you shouldn't eat the first is that you will be diabetic and your body breaks them down differently and with the donuts you will have no energy and probably hungry again in an hour.

It crystalizes if it get's cold. Just let it sit out or warm it up a bit. I don't keep it in the fridge. I keep it on the counter next to the un refrigerated stick of butter. And in five gallons food grade buckets in the store room.
Unfiltered is just that. It will have wax, maybe some honeycomb and bee parts. She filters it once, lets it sit for two weeks and anything not filtered will rise to the top, wax and bee parts. Skim off and jar. You can filter more than once but it doesn't need it if harvested correctly.
You don't want pasteurized honey. If it is pasteurized chances are it was thinned and cut with water, corn syrup etc...that also extracts the pollen which is what you do not want. That tells the honey's origin and if all possible you want to get honey that is made closest to you for immune and allergy benefits. Whether that is true or not depends on which google link you click on. I know this. It's made by bees I own and it's as organic as it can get and it taste much better than any commercial brand out there.
