Great question from Jennifer
Hello,
I'm an American in Paris & recently in 2 of the local parks where they keep hives they had the "Fête du miel" or sort of a honey day where they sold their honey (it sold out within an hour so I didn't get any) & let people visit the hives & explained how bees work, etc.
I was really quite fascinated with the whole thing & did buy some of the honey they had brought in from the cities just outside of Paris (mostly from lime tree flowers).
I had heard that to decrease allergies you should always eat honey from your region. And it is true that several years back a friend had given me honey grown in the Jardin de Luxembourg (the park in central Paris) & I noticed my hayfever went way down.
Anyway, my favorite honey is thyme honey. It has a slight after taste that I just love. Sort of lingers on the taste buds. I get it from a store called La Famille Mary that only has honey & bee related items though I don't think they're organic & not sure if it's raw.
I recently bought some thyme honey at a health food store for that reason.
I've tried several kinds of honey. I think my least favorite is eucalyptus cuz it tastes sort of medicinal though I'm sure it's good for colds.
The lime tree honey is alright but not my favorite. I bought some chestnut tree honey for my allergies though it's flavor is a bit smoky & also not a favorite but I'm surrounded by chestnut trees so I figure it'd be good for me.
I know I've tasted lavender honey when I was in the south of France but I can't remember what it tasted like except that you could sort of smell the lavender in it.
It was at an outdoor market and they had "all things lavender" & I bought some lavender peach jelly that was really good. In the south you have fields with rows & rows of purple lavender. It's quite pretty.
I also recently bought little tubes of propolis from the health food store to help boost my immune system for the winter. I seem to have more energy.
I have a question. I'm eating loads & loads of honey, right out of the jar and want to know if I'm setting myself up for adult diabetes.
I remember the midwife who taught our birthing class telling us that the sugar in honey was more concentrated than that in a sugar cube. I don't know if she knew what she was talking about though. I know the honey's sugars are generally better for you however could I be overdoing it?
Thanks!
Sincerely,
My Advice in Answer to Jennifers Question
I won't write my whole reply because it was a personal one to her alone. As are all my replies to all of you who have so kindly written to honey magazine expressing your interests in The Benefits of Honey.
However, the advice I gave Jennifer was that she should not be afraid of adult diabetes just because she enjoys eating honey!
We can only eat so much.........our bodies will tell us when we have had enough.
