Fermented food is rich in health benefits, with a higher probiotic content encouraging a stronger immune system and improved digestion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFermentation is the process by which carbohydrates such as starch and sugar content break down into acids. This results in a product that delivers a distinctive tart-like flavour that is often enjoyed in food and drinks such as cheese, kombucha, yoghurt and sauerkraut and condiments such as apple cider vinegar and water kefir. The naturally occurring acids and alcohol in the food provide a natural preservative to give a distinctive taste and maintain the integrity of food for at least 18 months. Additionally, fermentation encourages the growth of beneficial bacteria to promote overall improved well-being.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHoney ferments due to the high moisture content and yeast spores that naturally occur in the honey. This is encouraged by warm temperatures and moist conditions, particularly in raw unpasteurised honey. While you may not hear 'honey' and think of 'yeast', honey is actually full of yeasts carried by the bees from their foraging among the flowers. These yeasts are responsible for fermentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFermented honey has a sweet yet sour taste and is easily converted into honey wine or mead due to its high sugar content. While some believe that the mother culture will die off in honey due to its high antibacterial content, added water content is enough to diminish the antimicrobial properties enough to allow the yeasts and naturally occurring microorganisms to thrive into a perfectly fermented product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou may be wondering why one would wish to ferment raw honey when the product is so delicious and nutritious straight from the hive. However, many don't realise that the health properties of raw honey can be even more potent and effective due to the fermentation or Lacto-fermentation process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRead on to find out more.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThe benefits of fermented honey\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe presence of fermented honey during cold and flu season can provide the perfect comforting and protective treat. Fermented honey can even aid you as a food preservative to keep garlic fresh over a long period of time. Some of the other benefits of fermented honey include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnti-bacterial properties to fight off a number of infections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAntiviral qualities to keep infections at bay and soothe sore throats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh probiotic and beneficial bacteria content that boosts gut health and aids the immune system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh pollen content to help those suffering from allergies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigestive help with added enzymes and good bacterial cultures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLower bad cholesterol and it increases the good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEffective topical treatment for wound healing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvide a low sugar alternative to add to yogurt, coffee, tea, and even lemonade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEssentially, whatever benefits you can find in raw honey, you will likely find in fermented honey, with even more benefits added through the high probiotic content. Your gut flora will thrive with this power-packed sweet and sour treat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThe different types of fermented honey\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor centuries, people have been pairing garlic and honey together for their taste combination and their health benefits. Garlic honey is a great example of how you can use two fermented products together to complement one another in both taste and quality. Often, honey garlic recipes are as simple as adding garlic cloves to your glass jar of fermented honey, and it is a great additive to sauces, marinades, or glazes to pair with vegetables, roasted meats or even fruits for the real sweet tooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome people mistakenly think that once a food product ferments, it is no longer safe, useful, or delicious to eat. Honey is no exception to this misconception, and while the taste may be different from what you're used to, the sharp taste will quickly become addictive. Add it to your savoury meals, roast dinner, fish, or meats and your mouth will thank you almost as much as your gut will.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen it comes to fermentation recipes, the secret is letting the honey ferment in the right conditions, with the right yeast present for the right amount of time. Raw unpasteurised honey contains enough water to support fermentation if placed under the right temperature conditions. The naturally present yeast deposited by our hardworking bees is what gives fermented honey its sharp, distinctive taste. The strains of yeast harvested by our local bees are delicious, and our batches of fermented honey benefit with a soft mouthfeel and a delicious taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOur fermented honey products\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChilli honey fermented\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou don't have to be too adventurous to try this one, with a very subtle aroma of chilli added to give a little hint of something different.
