ok, i'm going to ask a no-brainer. You can laugh at me, I really don't mind, but then please reply so I'll know. Would it be TERRIBLE if I used store bought honey. I says all natural, but it doesn't say raw unpastureized. Why is raw unpastuerized honey better (more nutritious)????

| I have heard that they add in corn syrup after they pastuerize the honey to make it flow better and not crystallize as easily (for clover honey).

When the honey is pasturized all the nutrients are cooked out. Raw honey is much healthier.

I'll play the Devils Advocate here.
If pastuerization destroys the nutrients, doesn't cooking also destroy them?
Food for thought.......

If I am adding it to something I am cooking, I use whatever honey I have. The raw honey makes little difference, because the cooking process will destroy a lot of the properties of the raw honey. I use pasteurized honey for cooking, and save the raw honey for medicinal purposes, and for use after cooking, like on biscuits and such. It's too valuable to waste in cooking.
Bon Apetit!

I sort of cheat. I grew up raising bees, and I harvest wild honey every spring and summer, usually about 20 gallons worth. When I need more, I have a friend who keeps bees, and I just get it from him....raw and unpastuerized. I trade him bread, baked goods, sauerkraut, etc... for honey, and we both profit. And I know where my honey has been and who has handled it. I'd keep bees myself, but it's more fun to harvest wild honey, and alot less trouble.
If I had enough room for a milk cow and some goats, I would be making my own cheese, butter, yogurt, etc....
And I have 50 free-range chickens that keep me in fresh eggs.
Nothing upsets me more than someone monkeying with my food supply. There are brands of stuff that I've used for decades, that now contain MSG, rendering them useless as far as I am concerned.
Sorry, I just had to rant for a bit. It was time.......
