Why Try These Recipes for Mother’s Day?
Since ancient times, honey has been used as both a food and a medicine. The sweet, thick liquid made by honeybees is very high in beneficial plant compounds and offers several health benefits.
Mum is sure to wake up feeling vibrant and energised after her fill of delicious, high quality Pure Suffolk Honey.
1. A good source of antioxidants
Raw honey contains an array of plant chemicals that act as antioxidants. Some types of honey have as many antioxidants as fruits and vegetable! Antioxidants help to protect your body from cell damage due to free radicals.
Pure Suffolk Honey is raw, unfiltered honey straight from the hives at Stour Valley Apiaries.
2. Help for digestive issues
Honey is a potent prebiotic, meaning it nourishes the good bacteria that lives in the intestines, which are crucial not only for digestion but overall health.
3. Delivering an energy boost
You can use raw honey to help provide a quick pre- or post-workout energy boost. Perfect for including in a tasty breakfast or brunch treat before Mum starts her special day.
Did you know… It would take 1,100 bees to make 1kg of honey and they would have to visit 4 million flowers!
