Tropical Traditions Organic Raw Honey Review & Giveaway - Ends 11/10 CLOSED

The Company
Finding good food sources and healthy products is an ongoing endeavor, and the products sold through Tropical Traditions are the products I have trusted to meet the needs of my own family. I won't sell you products that I won't use personally or give to my own children. With meats and dairy products, it is not enough to simply be "organic." We believe that animals raised on pasture are preferable to animals in feed lots eating organic grains and organic soy, and so we give preference to animals raised on grass and sunshine, and farmers practicing sustainable agriculture.



The Review
Tropical traditions sent me another great product to review their Certified Organic Canadian Raw Honey.

A Raw Product from the Wilderness
Tropical Traditions Organic Raw Honey comes from the frontier areas of Canada, and is only harvested during a 6-week period in the summer. Tropical Traditions is the exclusive source of this premium organic honey in the U.S. Most commercial honeys available on the market today come from bee farms, where the bees are controlled within a certain area and get their pollen from usually only one kind of flower. Many of the plants that produce these flowers (clover, orange blossom, etc.) are grown with pesticides and fertilizers as well. In addition, almost all honeys on the market are pasteurized in high heat and filtered, removing many of the beneficial nutrients and enzymes.

Tropical Traditions Organic Raw Honey has not been subjected to the heat of processing, only warmed enough to flow (same temperatures the honey would see inside the hive). We select only premium honey that is pure, smooth and creamy, with the consistency of soft margarine at harvest. It contains live yeast and enzymes, because it has not been processed. It also contains pollen because it has not been filtered—merely screened.

Fine textured crystals are characteristic of totally pure, unheated, unprocessed, raw honey. Properly crystallized honey has a fine, smooth texture. Crystallized honey preserves natural goodness and doesn’t drip. The more rapidly honey crystallizes the finer the texture will be. It will also turn harder over time as it crystallizes. Truly raw honeys do not deteriorate with age, but like fine wines, continue to age and develop into more complex tastes.



This is the first time I've ever tried raw honey and the first thing I noticed is that it is a creamy white color not the typical golden color I am used to. The texture is smooth, thick and very creamy. I also found it to be a lot sweeter than the honey I was use to using. I have substituted it in a few recipes (using less than the recipe calls for) and it bakes up wonderfully with great flavor.

My hubby eats it on unsweetened peanut butter and honey sandwiches and says he needs half the honey of our old honey brand. I find this a definite plus. We will now be purchasing only Tropical Traditions Raw Honey.

You can find some delicious recipes using this product on Free Coconut Recipes.
