Re: What honey brands do you guys use?

[Guest guest]

I use Meadowfoam honey. The flower only blooms once every 5 years so I bought a

lot when I saw it was available from a local beekeeper. When I started on this

diet I haaaaaated honey but I went to the MD Renn Fest one year and tried all

the different flavors and figured out that it was that flowery flavor that I

really disliked (like you get in stuff like clover honey). I also really love

lavender honey. It's kind of caramely whereas the meadowfoam is almost

marshmallow flavored (and no, nothing is added to their - mostly raw - honeys)

If I weren't about to get into bed I might go and have a small spoonful (sore

throat). Oh oh...you know what one I also loved? " Rare Hawaiian Organic White

Honey " I found it at whole foods. It was extremely delicious!

I try to use only this one honey that I purchase at my farmer's market that is

local (made about 15 miles from my house). Otherwise, I pick up Acadia honey at

Southside Produce in Denham. In a pinch, my local A and G grocers sells local

raw honey. YAY!!!!

I'm trying to do better and not eat SOOO much though.

Arent we supposed to not eat raw honey as that contains bee honey, which is

considered illegal, or at least it says it bothers the gut?

I had some raw honey 2 days ago and i feel like now i am paying the

consequences, or it could be the meat i made. its made last night really rough.

The reasn i ask is because i am looking for htat similar flavor that my raw

honey offers (really raw honey). it reminds me of rapeseed honey.

Marcin,

The honey we use on the SCD is supposed to be filtered from various types of

debris that is found in unadulterated honey.

Filtered honey can still be raw (they are not supposed to use heat in this

process) but different bee keepers will talk about different methodologies of

filtration. The purists however feel really true raw honey is opaque and still

has like bits on the top and can even smell a bit different (I can actually

smell it too since I have a very sensitive nose)

However pasteurized honey usually involves a heating of the honey which

technically means it is not raw anymore. For newbies on the diet filtered and

pasteurized is what is recommended.

I had a similar experience. I used honey from a local farm and did not do well

with it. I suspect it probably was not filtered enough. The rest of my family

can eat it.

I got some local honey with cayenne pepper in it at

a recent farmer's market.

I love it. It's great - but only if you love spicy things.

I also have some chestnut honey - raw, filtered, from

Italy that is truly intense, very deep, complex flavor.

I had some eucalyptas/forest honey last year that

I also really liked.

Now I have some raspberry honey from the farmer's

market - and it's quite good, too.

So variety, even with honeys, is great.

I mostly use local honey (I live in Arizona). Initially, I used McClendon's

Desert Blossom and Orange Blossom honey ( http://www.mcclendonsselect.com/ ).

When I ran out, I just happened across a guy selling some Black Canyon honey (

http://blackcanyonjerky.com/index.html ). It's really good, and they have 6

varieties: Desert Blue Clover (tastes kind of like molasses), Mesquite, Orange

Blossom, Catclaw, Black Mountain Pecan, and Wild Pine Flower.

Raw honey typically contains pollens and other stuff which can be a major

issue for those of us with gut issues. Ironically, the pollen and so

forth is what makes local honey useful for allergy sufferers.

For SCD, you want filtered 100% pure honey.

Marilyn,

A bee keeper on the other list explained that it is technically inaccurate to

say that filtering removes *all* of the pollen.

It removed big bits but pollen is still in there.

Just sayin'...

To be a pain in the ar$e again..

It definitely does not remove ALL the pollen -- and I know that. However,

it removes the stuff which usually causes a reaction. Pasteurized AND

filtered usually gets rid of the problems, but also eliminates some of

the good stuff.

Everything is a balancing act.
