Raw Food: Benefits of juice

Posted on August 11, 2008

Eating raw foods is a way to give your body some of the nutrition it
desperately needs. Many of us are at least slightly overweight, and
even the morbidly obese are starving for essential proteins and amino
acids. All the processed, cooked foods we eat give us only a small
percentage of what we need. Consequently, we eat and eat and yet we’re
still not nourished. Psychologists try to tell us we’re eating to make
up for an emptiness in our souls. Wrong! Our bodies our empty and
trying to tell us so.

Honey Storage Pointers

What is the best temperature for honey storage? And how do you restore lumpy honey to its smooth original state?

While one of the most interesting facts on honey storage is that it doesn’t spoil even with zero preservatives and additives, liquid honey is susceptible to physical and chemical changes during storage; it tends to darken and lose part of its aroma and flavor. Liquid honey also tends to naturally crystallise and become lumpy after some time. Crystallisation is easily reversible and does not affect the taste and quality of the honey, although it alters its looks and texture. Thus, for commercial reasons, a shelf life is indicated on the honey bottles in the shop.
