Organic Raw Honey from Tropical Traditions

I did a review for Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil back in May, and that jar is still being used daily here at casa de Most Traveled. I use it to cook daily, including making the most delicious brownies I have ever eaten, ever.

Also I read tons of testimonials about all kinds of other uses for Virgin Coconut Oil, so I tried them out. I am using it as a night time facial moisturizer, and I have been using it for about 2 weeks as deodorant. Seriously. Don’t laugh, it seems to be working! I’m excited to eliminate aluminum deodorant from my personal care regime.

Most recently, Tropical Traditions sent me some Tropical Traditions Organic Raw Honey from the frontier areas of Canada, and OH MY GRANNY! This stuff is delicious!
It is embarrassing how much I have eaten already!

It has a delicious, creamy consistency like a spreadable butter. I have been eating a GENEROUS spoonful of it on top of toast every morning since it has arrived.
But, wouldn’t you know, Tropical Traditions Organic Raw Honey has other uses as well!
People have used raw honey topically to relieve skin problems, and it is said to be a great moisturizer!
Honey is antifungal, antibacterial, and it never goes bad.
And did I mention this is delicious?

In order for honey to be certified organic, the beehives must be placed in isolated areas miles from the dense population, industry, traffic congestion, and farm fields treated with chemicals and landfills. Second, a bee’s flying range is determined by their natural instinct which tells them to stay within their natural four mile range from the hive location. Finding area which can be certified organic is extremely difficult, which is why there are so few certified organic honeys on the market. Tropical Traditions sources its honey from hives in the wild frontier areas of Canada.

    To equal the amount of MCFAs a nursing infant would receive in one day, an adult would need to consume about 3.5 tablespoons of coconut oil a day according to researchers.

    I learned that the 21st century sees a whole generation of “baby boomers” heading into their senior years, with complex health problems that did not plague their parents’ and grandparents’ generations, in spite of all the “medical advances” the 21st century brings us.

    (I agree that the quality of our ‘off the shelf’ food is probably partially responsible.)

    Coconut oil is liquid above 75 degrees F. (25 C.), and below that it will be a solid fat. It can be stored in either form, and it can be liquefied easily by applying low level heat.

    Tropical Traditions organic coconut flour is fiber from the coconut meat after most of the oil has been extracted to make Virgin Coconut Oil. It is certified organic, unsweetened, and has not been treated with sulfites. Tropical Traditions organic coconut flour is high in dietary fiber and protein, and is gluten-free.

Since it is a stable cooking oil, one can simply replace unhealthy oils in their diet with coconut oil. Since it is a solid most of the time at room temperature or when refrigerated, it can be a butter or margarine substitute for spreads or for baking.

    Tropical Traditions sells Grass-Fed butter meaning the cows that make this butter Good butter are cows grazing on grass which is hard to find these days. They offer some of the best butter found anywhere in the world at Tropical Traditions! All from the milk of grass-fed cows. Good butter from grass-fed cows is very distinct in its rich yellow color, due to high amounts of beta carotene.

    Since coconut oil is a food and is a staple for many living in Asia, it is considered safe for anyone. In coconut producing countries it is considered normal and good food for pregnant and lactating women, since it contains lauric acid which is also present in breast milk.

    I learned:

    “Actually, they can be classified as all three in some form. The meat of the coconut is usually referred to as fruit, and the coconut itself is the nut, or seed, that will reproduce into a coconut palm tree if allowed to sprout and grow, and the oil made from coconuts is classified as a “vegetable oil” in terms of commodity trading. ”

    Wow, who knew. I learned this: 10. Is Coconut Oil safe for pregnant women?

    Since coconut oil is a food and is a staple for many living in Asia, it is considered safe for anyone. In coconut producing countries it is considered normal and good food for pregnant and lactating women, since it contains lauric acid which is also present in breast milk. However, the cautions of reactions as stated above should be noted. Many in Western countries are used to a low-fat diet, and it is best NOT to begin experimenting with coconut oil while pregnant if your body is not used to it. If, however, you have been consuming coconut oil regularly without any adverse reactions, there is no reason to discontinue while pregnant, and many good reasons to continue consuming it

    I was impressed that there is a lot of misinformation about coconut oil out there - worlds of difference between the highly processed junk coconut oil sold in most stores and the real thing with all of its benefits. Coconut oil gets a bad rap because too many people don’t realize how good the real stuff is for you.

    I learned some great stuff about coconut oil which I did not know,specifically this: There are many ways to use coconut oil and incorporate it into one’s diet. Since it is a stable cooking oil, one can simply replace unhealthy oils in their diet with coconut oil. Since it is a solid most of the time at room temperature or when refrigerated, it can be a butter or margarine substitute for spreads or for baking.
