Organic Blue Borage Honey  500gr/1lb,2oz plastic jar

The Vipers Bugloss plant - commonly known as Blue Borage - grows wild in the remote areas of the Clarence Reserve in the Kaikoura mountain range in New Zealand. It is one of the hardest won honeys in New Zealand from one of the purest sources. The wild flower covers the hills of the Central South Island in a floral carpet of brilliant blue flowers. The plant produces a nectar at lower temperatures than clover yielding a very dry honey with a chewy or tacky texture. Blue Borage is slower to crystallize, and has been used in folklore to treat stress and fatigue. Blue Borage Honey has an unmistakable light, clean herbal flavor with a floral bouquet. Its delicate taste and color draws from the spirit of the Borage flower. "It is a honey to strengthen the heart." With its distinctive flavor and high fructose levels, Blue Borage Honey is a unique sweetener in beverages such as coffee and tea. Refrigerate for a natural snack for kids of all ages.

Certified Organic Honeydew Honey  500gr/1lb,2oz glass jar

Bees generally forage for plant nectar, but they also can take the sweet secretions of aphids known as Honeydew. Honeydew nectar is produced from a small insect (Ultracoelostoma assimile) living in the bark of two of New Zealand's beech forests, mainly the black beech (black from the sooty mould growing on the surplus nectar covering the trunks and branches) and to a lesser extent, the red beech. In the early morning sunlight, the droplets of nectar glisten like the morning dew, giving it the name, Honeydew. The aphids dine on the nectar and the honeybees collect the excretions, turning it into a rich, flavorful honey that remains naturally liquid. Honeydew is a remarkable "functional food" that is rich in minerals, antioxidants, antibacterial properties, and oligosaccharides which are known to maintain and enhance the body's digestive system. This honey is rich in minerals and antioxidants.  Honeydew has been used in folk medicine as a treatment for heartburn, acid reflux, sour stomach, and other intestinal distress. Perhaps the reason it is so effective is that some honeys (especially Honeydew) contain significant levels of oligosaccharides. Oligosaccharides are complex sugars found in some foods that encourage the growth of beneficial bacteria (specifically, Bifidobacterium bifidum and lactobacilli) in the digestive tract. Oligosaccharides are known as "prebiotics" because they help promote the growth of "probiotics,¨ the "friendly" bacteria that help balance microflora in the human gastrointestinal tract. Honeydew honey contains larger amounts of oligosaccharides (about 5%) than nectar honey. Oligosaccharides present include erlose, theanderose, ketose, raffinose, melezitose, maltotriose and panose.

Honeydew honey is a must in the kitchen as it retains its rich flavor during cooking. As an added bonus, Honeydew honey can be used as a cancer-preventing marinade. The National Honey Board has documented that marinating meat for four hours in marinades containing 30% honey significantly reduces the formation of heterocyclic aromatic amines (potential cancer-causing compounds) in meat that begins to char or blacken when cooked at high temperatures. Honeydew has long been the choice of chefs in New Zealand for glazes and in baking.

Honeydew honey has a strong, full-flavor, malty aroma, almost pungent, with a thick red amber color.
