While at the zoo today we purchased some fresh honey from the Bee Exhibit. I would love to know Healthy ways to use it. I read that this is extremely healthy and can be VERY good for you.

What do you do with your Honey Honey :)

    One of my favorites is summer squash (the kind doesn't matter so much), sauteed with a bit of butter, with a few drops of honey and some mint flakes, and a bit of salt an pepper. On a bed of rice pilaf cooked with turmeric, almond slivers and raisins.

    Hi there, Honey is wonderful over sliced bananas or mixed into smashed bananas. Satisfies your sweet tooth and is healthy.

    Two GG Crispbreads with a tablespoon of peanut butter, topped with sliced banana,cinnamon, and honey. My absolute favorite snack. Has a little bit of everything.

    OK YUM!!!! What exactly is Turmeric? I had another recipe call for this and had no idea what it was. Also calories per servings?

    The honey doesn't show calories, Low or high? The label is just that of a simple "Fresh Honey"

    I'm a bit odd. I love to put it in my water that I drink during work outs. Just a tbsp in a 1 liter bottle, shake until the water looks . . . weird, and all the honey is dissolved. Then drink away while you run / bike / walk / lift / hike / whatever. And Honey is pretty universal on calories I think. 60 calories per tbsp.

    Very simple. Use honey in absolutely ANY situation that you would ordinarily use sugar.
