Much more than just a liquid sweetener, honey is one of the oldest medicines known to man. The power of honey comes from the wide range of compounds present in the rich amber liquid, and research has demonstrated that honey can inhibit the growth of bacteria, yeast, fungi, and viruses. In general, the darker the color of the honey, the higher its level of antioxidants. Try drizzling honey over vanilla ice cream or spoon some into a warm cup of green tea. MARIA DESIDERATA MONTANA
