BooBee Honey is a sweet fluid made by honeybees using the nectar of flowering plants Sourced mainly from Honey Forest in Naka, Gwer-West Local Government Area of Benue State, Nigeria. There are about 320 different varieties of honey, which vary in color, odor and flavor.
BooBee Honey contains mostly sugar, as well as a mix of amino acids, vitamins, minerals, iron, zinc and antioxidants. In addition to its use as a natural sweetener, BooBee honey is used as an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antibacterial agent. People commonly use our honey orally to treat coughs and topically to treat burns and promote wound healing.
Cardiovascular disease: Antioxidants in honey might be associated with reduced risk of heart disease.
Cough: Studies suggest that eucalyptus honey, citrus honey and labiatae honey can act as a reliable cough suppressant for some people with upper respiratory infections and acute nighttime cough.
Gastrointestinal disease: Evidence suggests honey might help relieve gastrointestinal tract conditions such as diarrhea associated with gastroenteritis. Honey might also be effective as part of oral rehydration therapy.
Neurological disease: Studies suggest that honey might offer antidepressant, anticonvulsant and anti-anxiety benefits. In some studies, honey has been shown to help prevent memory disorders.
Wound care: Topical use of medical-grade honey has been shown to promote wound healing, particularly in burns.
Honey butter: Honey is always a sweet treat, but for a rich topping on bread, potatoes or vegetables, we recommend whipping up some honey butter at home. It's one of the easiest -- and yummiest -- things you can make with honey. (If you're from the South, or if you've ever eaten soul food, you know what we're talking about.) Honey butter is commonly served with starchy foods, like cornbread, biscuits, muffins and pancakes, but it's good on virtually everything.
Snack Bars: The ooey-gooey quality of honey makes it uniquely suited to a particular type of baked good: the soft, chewy snack bar. Honey retains its moist, sticky, flexible texture even after baking, which means granola bars, trail mix bars and cereal bars are prime honey products. It's incredibly easy to make your own, healthier alternative to the store-bought kind: You're basically just tossing together oats and/or other whole grains, honey, an egg, butter or oil and whatever delicious bits of snacking you have in the kitchen. The crunch of nuts and seeds and the tartness of dried cherries or unsweetened cranberries are perfect complements to honey's unique texture and sweetness.
Sauces and spreads: Is there such a thing as a turkey sandwich without honey-mustard sauce? Would summer be the same if honey barbecue sauce had never been invented? No and no. Salad dressing is where honey comes into its own, and sauces are where it thrives. It's no secret that honey and pork go well together. Need some proof? Try brushing a healthy amount of honey on pork tenderloin before putting it in the oven. Honey is also the key ingredient in many homemade barbecue sauces. Instead of using store-bought barbecue sauce, next time you fire up the grill try stirring a couple spoonfuls of honey together with apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard and lemon juice for a tangy and sweet sauce. In salad dressing, try adding a few drops of honey to vinaigrette for some added sweetness and to help thicken it up. (Also, your kids will probably be more likely to ask for seconds of salad if there's a touch of honey in the dressing.)
Quick Breads: One way to ensure a moist banana bread? Make sure the recipe calls for honey! All sorts of quick breads -- from banana, zucchini and corn to beer, herbed and cheesy -- benefit from the sweetness and texture of honey. Honey adds a distinct but mild flavor to quick-baking, non-yeast breads, which can be delightfully easy to prepare (no waiting, no kneading!). Honey is sweet but not too-sweet, so it's perfect for the savorier flavor profiles, such as the cheddar bread you serve with those honey-baked beans, and it helps achieve the moistness that is a necessity for any great quick bread. You'll also find the bread stays fresher longer, since, as we already know, honey acts as a natural preservative.
