Gunter’s Pure Buckwheat Honey

• Tweet

Buckwheat honey contains the most antioxidants of any honey.  Why is this good?  Antioxidants protect cells from the damaging effects of free radicals and may reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, cognitive decline, and macular degeneration.  Generally, darker honeys tend to be higher in antioxidants than lighter ones. Because of this, darker honeys also tend to be higher in mineral content on average, as compared to lighter honeys.

Buckwheat honey is a minor source of eighteen amino acids. This type of honey also has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that can hasten wound healing and may even reduce scarring.

It can also be used as an alternative to drug-laden cough syrups.  Studies show that children who consume buckwheat honey prior to bed slept better and coughed less compared to over-te-counter cough suppressants.

Try adding in small doses to your oatmeal, plain yogurt, homemade salad dressings, multi-grain toast and tea.  It makes a good replacement to refined sugars.
