Some Useful Tips About Honey

The color and flavor of the honey depend on the bee's nectar source- the blossoms. Lighter-colored honeys are   
Honey should be stored at room temperature and for no longer than six months, to keep antioxidant content high.
Honey can be used as a substitute for granulated sugar. It is nutritionally superior to sugar and only half the amount of honey is required.
Honey should not be given to infants under one year of age because very occasionally, honey can contain a type of bacteria that can produce toxins in a baby's intestines which causes botulism.

Honey is great for regulating bowel movement, as advised by the Prophet (Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam): Abu Sa'eed al-Khudri (may Allaah be pleased with him) narrated, "A man came to the Messenger (Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam) and said, 'My brother has pain in his stomach', so the Messenger (Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam) said,'Give him honey to drink.'The man
came back and said, 'O Messenger of Allaah (Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam), it only increased his illness!' So the Messenger (Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam) said, 'Give him honey to drink.' The man came back and said, 'O Messenger of Allaah (Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam), it only increased his illness!' The Messenger of Allaah (Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam) said 'Allaah spoke the truth and your brother's belly has lied. Go and give him honey to drink.' He went and gave him honey and was cured." [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree, Book of medicine (7:71:588)

Ibn al-Qayyim, in his book, "The Prophetic Medicine" explained that the reason why the man wasn't cured straight after taking the honey was due to much harmful properties in the man's stomach that needed more honey for it to be removed. [Zaad al-Ma'aad 4/35].

Honey is primarily composed of fructose, glucose, and water. It also contains trace enzymes, minerals, vitamins and amino acids, which keep the immune system functioning well. Typically, the darker the honey, the higher the level of antioxi-dants. Honey comes in basically five different forms: comb honey, cut comb (liquid honey that has chunks of comb in it), liquid honey, crystallized honey, and whipped or 'creamed' honey (with the consistency of honey). All forms of honey have medici-nal benefits, but raw honey is superior to processed honey. Raw honey contains much more nutrients and beneficial substances like propolis and bee pollen, which are not usually found in honey that has been pasteurized, filtered or clarified.

Superiority of Raw Honey
Raw honey, which has not been pasteurized, clarified or filtered, contains an abun-dance of vitamins and minerals, and is a natural and powerful medicine, which is superior to the processed honey most commonly available.
Conventional honey has been processed to prolong its shelf life and improve itsappearance, and although research has shown that this honey does contain some healthbenefits, many of the phytonutrients found in raw honey as it exists in the hive, are largely removed through this processing.
Raw honey, for example, contains small amounts of the same resins found inpropolis. Propolis is a complex mixture of resins and other substances that honeybees useto seal the hive and protect it from bacteria and other micro-organisms. Honeybees make propolis by combining plant resins with their own secretions. This substance has anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal properties. This is also why raw honey never grows mold or goes off.
Raw honey contains amino acids, vitamins and thousands of beneficial enzymes. When it is extensively processed and heated, the benefits of these phytonutrients are largely eliminated. 
Raw honey also contains bee pollen, which many nutritional experts refer to as a means that it does not ferment in the stomach, it is easily absorbed, and aids diges-tion.
Raw honey should be stored in a sealed, airtight jar, and it will not spoil.
 
To make a warming, immune boosting drink, mix together 1 tablespoon of goodquality honey with some fresh lemon juice and a small piece of fresh ginger (or as much as you can take), in a mug of boiling water.
 
Tips for Using Raw Honey

Raw honey is usually opaque and creamy, with a slightly crystallized texture. It is very different in appearance to the clear, runny, golden liquid most commonly sold as honey.
The valuable enzymes in raw honey are preserved only if the honey is never heated above 105 degrees, ideally it should never be heated at all.
Raw honey should only be added to foods after they have been cooked and notbefore, since any exposure to heat risks destroying the beneficial nutrients in the honey.
Although honey is a form of sugar, it is an inverted sugar, and the sugars present in raw honey have already been partly predigested by the action of enzymes. This means that it does not ferment in the stomach, it is easily absorbed, and aids digestion.
Raw honey should be stored in a sealed, airtight jar, and it will not spoil.
To make a warming, immune boosting drink, mix together 1 tablespoon of goodquality honey with some fresh lemon juice and a small piece of fresh ginger (or as much as you can take), in a mug of boiling water.Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said,
