So this is our second jar that we have purchased from Amazon. They carry this at Whole Foods but its 9.99 for a 1 lb jar. Technically buying it here on Amazon saved us a buck... but hey it's still a buck!
This honey is the REAL DEAL! I mean this isn't even comparable to any honey that most of the country/world is familiar with. This is ORGANIC, RAW, UNPASTEURIZED, UNFILTERED HONEY! It is so DELICIOUS!!! Since it is 100% pure and in it's natural state you are getting a superior product packed full of live enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Honey is healthy! My husband's grandmother emailed me all of the benefits you receive from honey (and cinnamon) but it is doubtful that just any old honey provides the grand benefits listed in her email (especially not the kind I grew up eating that my mother purchased from our local grocery store). So I am sure that people are trying to do right by their bodies when they eat honey but I feel their money is being wasted because if you buy a non-organic, processed, pasteurized, filtered honey then most of the nutrients are lost during all of these processes. So it's definitely worth the extra money to buy a quality product you can trust. I believe you can trust Y.S. Organic Bee Farms and I will gladly buy from them every time I need to replenish my pantry with a new jar!!! Thank you so much Y.S. Organic Bee Farms for offering such a pure and delicious product!!!
Honey is an anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral substance. A spoonful a day keeps free radicals at bay! There are so many lovely things to say about this whole food, but you should research it for yourself. Seriously, Google the health benefits of honey and be sure that your first "real" jar purchased is from this seller! As mentioned previously, the benefits received from honey highly depends on the quality of honey you buy.
I enjoy my honey on toast with cinnamon sprinkled lightly on the top. I also use it to flavor drinks made with Chia Seeds which are also so very healthy. Or if I have a sweet tooth... I just grab a spoon and scoop out some honey from the jar and enjoy! My kids LOVE THIS! AND I DON'T FEEL GUILTY WHATSOEVER!!!
7/14/2013 UPDATE:
SO THE DAY I WROTE THIS REVIEW I WENT SHOPPING AT JIMBOS. I FOUND THIS PRODUCT BEING SOLD THERE FOR ABOUT $13.42 (DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT CHANGE)WE JUST PURCHASED THIS FOR $18.99. I CAN'T RETURN THE PRODUCT BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT EXCEPT THAT IT WAS WAY OVERPRICED. SORRY AMAZON, WE ARE LOYAL CUSTOMERS BUT NEXT TIME WE NEED THIS JAR OF HONEY WE WILL BE BUYING THE JAR AT JIMBOS AS IT IS SIGNIFICANTLY CHEAPER!!!
I AM NOT GOING TO TAKE ANY STARS AWAY BECAUSE THIS IS A SUPERIOR PRODUCT. I WOULD JUST BUY IT AT YOUR LOCAL JIMBOS IF YOU HAVE ONE NEAR YOU.
