Natural honey is solid
and this is the best way to prove its genuineness. This is the
only way to maintain its aroma and fragrance, its nutritional
and therapeutic properties.
The honey is an energetic and rapidly absorbed food, being constituted
by monosaccharides (fructose and glucose) which don't need any
further digestion. From time immemorial it is considered a medicinal
product.
Therefore, it is very important to use only "virgin"
honey, not subjected to any refining treatment. Actually, it
is well known that technological processing removes or inactivates
its numerous vital properties, and in particular, vitamins,
enzymes and trace elements. Refined honey is therefore reduced
to a simple solution of sugars. It is easier than sugar to digest
but it lacks all those medicinal properties.
