Experience the health benefits of honey
Healthy ingredients are the foundation for a healthy lifestyle. Whether it be a minor addition for flavor, or an increased dosage that completely transforms a meal, finding healthy ingredients that are both nutritious and delicious can enhance your diet and your life.
Honey is a diverse ingredient that can be supplemented or added to your favorite food and beverage to enrich the taste and fill your meal with the natural source of vitamins, minerals and essential amino acids that honey provides. Many Canadian consumers are opting for honey as an alternative to sugar.
“The natural anti-oxidants and anti-bacterial properties of good quality honey make it an ideal replacement for its heavily processed, refined sugar counterpart,” says Greg Mohr, Director of sales and marketing at Bee Maid.
