Tropical Forest Organic Honey - Review

Tropical Forest Organic Honey

We love honey.
Honey is possibly the best sweet food there is. It's natural, healthy, and seriously good for you. Or maybe it's not?
I've read articles claiming that raw honey is good for health, is antibacterial, helps heal wounds, and is great as an ingredient in a face-mask.
I've also read that it's just sugar and is not a healthy food to eat.
All I know is we like the taste of honey, we believe it to be better for our health than the crappy white granulated sugar that a lot of people eat.
We rarely use sugar, and when we do it's not white sugar, either in hot drinks; tea or coffee, or when cooking, we much prefer to eat honey.

Now we've stopped travelling, boo! and settled down we've been looking for a honey that tastes good and doesn't cost a fortune.
After shopping around we finally found a honey we liked.

As I've mentioned in previous blog posts we buy a lot of things from Amazon UK, and that's where we now purchase our honey, it's called Tropical Forest Organic Honey. It comes in a large tub, 7lbs or 3.18kgs, and costs £20.37.
It's quite a strong tasting honey, and very sweet too. I know honey is a sweet food, but some honeys are sweeter than others.
The Tropical Forest Organic Honey we purchase seems sweeter than most other honey we have eaten.
This is a good thing because it means we only need to use a small amount of it.

I think the majority of our honey consumption is probably in hot drinks. Mr.R loves a jug, or two, of hot coffee ever day, and I'm partial to this too. I also like using honey in my tea; green tea, camomile, and oolong tea are my current favourites.

We also use the Tropical Forest Organic Honey in cooking too. Mr.R uses it when he bakes bread, and various other dishes that require a little sweetening.
I like to add a generous dollop of the honey to my cereal, usually porridge oats, and also it tastes really nice when added to Greek yogurt.
The Tropical Forest Organic Honey we use is so tasty I often just dip a teaspoon in and eat it as is. Delicious!

We like the fact the The Tropical Forest Organic Honey comes in a large 7lb tub, because it means we don't have to buy lots of silly little jars every time we do a supermarket shop.
Obviously the tub is not particularly practical for every day use, so I simply spoon a smaller more manageable amount of the honey in to a glass jar. Perfect!

Raw honey is an odd term isn't it, because isn't most honey raw?
At least it's raw until we add it to hot food or drinks, which then means it's cooked. I realise we may be damaging the honey by adding it to our coffee and tea, but we like the taste.

If you believe all of the many positive things written about honey, you'll know that raw honey which means it hasn't been heat-treated or purified, still contains the full amount of antioxidants and enzymes, and it has antibacterial properties.
If you believe the negative stuff written about honey, then you'll know it's little more than fructose and consuming it may make you fat and rot your teeth.

We believe honey is good, and we're grateful for the bees.
If you're looking for a scrumptious organic honey, that's very reasonably priced I highly recommend Tropical Forest Organic Honey.
You can purchase it from Amazon UK or check-out the website printed on the label www.tropicalforest.com.
Tropicalforest.com is located in Wales, and they sell lots of different honey from various countries.
The label on the honey we purchase from Amazon UK says it comes from Zambia. In the past we've had the same tub of honey but from Ethiopia and Tanzania. All of the honey we've ordered has been seriously good.

Good or bad for health, do you like honey?
