Look at this picture:
It's a bucket. But you wanna know what's in the bucket? OK, I'll show you.
Can you tell what that is? It's honey! And not just any honey, but it's Grandpa's Grain PURE, RAW honey! It's probably the best honey I've ever had. Mmmm... Just writing about it makes me want more right now!
What does pure, raw honey mean?
Well, "pure" means there's only honey in it and nothing else. No twigs, no dirt, no bee wings. And no chemicals or preservatives or stuff like that. (Although I don't know why anyone would add preservatives to honey. Honey stays good forever. I heard that some explorers found some honey that ancient Egyptian bees made during the reign of King Tut. And they ate it. And it was good! So that just proves that honey stays good forever.)
And "raw" means it hasn't been cooked. Did you know that 99% of the honey that you buy in the grocery store has been cooked? If the honey has been sealed in a can or a plastic container, then it's been cooked. And that's bad for some reason. Well, that's what my wife says, anyway.
And kids love it! Here's my daughter, enjoying a spoonful.
Yum- yum!
Mmmmmm. Sweet, sweet honey...
And here's a close-up shot.
I use it in a lot of recipes, like in this whole wheat bread recipe. And sometimes I eat the honey with crackers. And sometimes I eat it in its purest form- straight from the spoon!
And Grandpa's Grain pure raw honey is very reasonably priced. I get it from my dealer for 38 bucks a gallon.
My only wish is that the honey came in a bear-shaped plastic bottle. I love those.
Oh, and it's a little less convenient to have a gallon bucket of honey than it is to have a little squeeze bottle of honey. You can't really take the bucket on a hike, you know? Oh, and it's a little harder to spread than "regular" honey. But the pros vastly, vastly outweigh the cons. The best thing about it is the flavor. I'm never going back to the old kind of honey.
Probably my favorite thing to do with it is make a peanut butter, honey and banana sandwich. I'd tell you the recipe for that dish, but you can probably figure it out just from the title.
See ya!
