Info: Two Types and Sizes of Pure Manitoba Honey in Glass Jars; Available in Store Only
Pure honey not only tastes great and makes a great sweetener in beverages and in or on a wide variety of foods, but it also contains antioxidants (powerful immune-boosting compounds which may protect against a variety of health conditions, including for both the heart and the brain).
Product Notes:
Some find honey to be an effective cough suppressant, offering more night-time relief to those with upper respiratory infections than some over-the-counter medications; and there are also suggestions that local wildflower honey may help relieve seasonal allergies for some people.
There are currently two options available in our Winnipeg retail store:
The first, the Pure Manitoba Wild Creamed Honey, comes from a local Manitoba supplier, whose bees collected the nectar from nearby wildflowers (including aster, clover, dandelion, goldenrod, thistle, willow, wild berry, and wild plum) and agricultural crops (alfalfa, canola, fruit trees, sunflowers, and soybeans).
Creamed honey has had air whipped into it so that it crystallizes throughout at an even rate, with much smaller crystals than tends to happen if it is left to solidify in colder temperatures. This makes it easier to scoop out a single teaspoon at a time for your tea, for example.
The second type, from the same Manitoba supplier, contains a full kilogram of pure liquid honey. This type has not been creamed. Like other types of pure honey, in colder temperatures it will crystallize or solidify, but can be restored to its original liquid state by placing the jar in warm wonder, or near an incandescent oven light, for example.)
