Select Honey that is really Organic Honey

Honey is very beneficial to us, especially when it is organic honey, un-filtered and raw. It is commonly used to heal burns and ease throat colds because it has many healing properties and can be used in many recipes and to sweeten foods and beverages. In addition to its antimicrobial qualities, it also can prevent scarring, and speed up the healing of tissue for diabetics wounds or sores. Diabetes typically worsens ulcers by making it more difficult for the body to heal and replace infected or dead tissue with healthy skin.

Natural state means it is untouched and not processed, so it comes directly from mother nature. Organic honey is free of preservatives, additives, and artificial colors or flavors and it is good for your body. Honey cannot be labeled certified organic if it has traces of chemicals, drugs or antibiotics and it must be produced, processed, and packaged in accordance with national or federal regulations. It also needs to be certified organic by the governing body or an independent organic farming certification organization.

Honeybees that live and collect nectar in clean colonies free of contaminants are the ones that produce the truly organic honey. Honeybee colonies are about 2 mile radius from their beekeepers location. This means that honeybees could easily pick up contaminants, such as chemicals, drugs and antibiotics in their environment around their colonies.

For example, to reduce diseases in honeybees that gather nectar, antibiotics and chemicals such as sulfa compounds are used by many beekeepers. Also carbolic acid is used to easily remove the honey from the hive. In some instances, even calcium cyanide is used by beekeepers to kill the bee colonies before extracting the honey. Honeybees living in non-organic colonies gather nectar from areas that have been sprayed with pesticides and other chemicals.

Therefore, to produce truly organic honey first the honeybees need to be in an environment free of additives and chemicals. Second its processing must be kept to a minimum and no additives should be used. When you filter honey you remove its beneficial properties and you can ultimately change the color, and the taste, which can affect your recipe or delay healing.

The most pure form is the unfiltered raw honey because filtering and processing includes adding other syrups and flavors and chemicals to modify its properties. During filtering and processing, most of the benefits are lost including its healing and antimicrobial properties. Even though it is put through ultra-filtration processes to remove chemicals, the end results is honey that no longer has its healing properties because it has been heavily diluted with water, boiled and filtered until it returns to a more natural consistency.

One of the advantages of authentic organic honey is that organic honeybee growers need to sustain the natural life cycle of bees by safeguarding their natural environment. Also, certifying the hive as organic is expensive so most beekeepers do not exterminate the bees at the end of the season, which is often a very common practice among conventional beekeepers.

Does this look vegan?

It’s a vegetarian gravy mix, and was wondering if these ingredients are vegan. I’m not sure about some of them, like malt extract. :S
Ingredients:
Organic Potato Starch, Organic Rice Flour, Organic Corn Syrup Solids, Organic Yeast Extract (organic yeast extract, sea salt, organic sunflower oil), Sea salt, Natural Vegetarian Flavour (natural flavour, organic yeast autolyzate [wheat], organic maltodextrin, sea salt, organic caramel colour), Organic Carrot, Organic Onion, Organic Tomato (organic tomato, guar gum), Malt Extract, Organic Garlic, Silicon Dioxide.

I believe it is animal free however Autolyzed stuff is always a worry because it is related to MSG which is horribly not vegan. Basically I think you are dealing with something that is animal free but it is not vegan because all of the extra stuff that is created via labs and stuff. Basically you can make your own gravy and it will taste better. Roast your veggies in olive oil and then take them out and add flour too the bottom and make a roux and then add veggie broth and season to taste.
