Honey has significant therapeutic potential because of its antibiotic and antiseptic properties. Honey has been used throughout history as a dressing for wounds. In WWI it was carried into battle to pack the wounds of soldiers until they could get to the surgeons. When honey is mixed with bodily fluids, it produces hydrogen peroxide which prevents the growth of bacteria.

The state of Hawaii initiated a quality control program in 2006 to help consumers distinguish genuine Hawaiian products from look-alike products that have only partial Hawaiian content or are processed in a significant way outside of Hawaii. This was accomplished by allowing qualified products to bear the “Hawaii Seal of Quality” on a distinctive green and white sticker affixed to the product packaging.

Feeling guilty and frustrated about your left-over pizza crusts? Then turn them into dessert!
Our globe-trotting friend, Robert Swegle, reminiscing about an old Roslyn, Washington pizzeria, hungrily described its practice of providing customers honey for the left-over pizza crust. It was a remarkable treat, especially for Neapolitan style pizza, with the slightly burnt crust. And no left over pizza crust!
Our organic Hawaiian Lehua honey, with its smooth crystalized texture and hint of salt, would be the perfect accompaniment.
So save yourself time making dessert and eliminate those leftovers with this creative idea. Thanks, Bob!

Mark Bittman www.markbittman.com suggests a great holiday dish for our organic Wilelaiki Blossom honey, made from Christmasberry blossoms on the Big Island.
Make ploenta with half milk, half water; stir in chopped fresh or dried cranberries. When thick, pour onto a sheet tray and let cool. Cut into squares and saute or broil until slightly crisp. Drizzle with our organic Wilelaiki Blossom honey.
We prepared this side dish for Thanksgiving and it was a hit. Consider it for your dinners this holiday season.
