Unprocessed, artisanal honey tends to be better for you than the mass-produced stuff you find on supermarket shelves. Look out for raw, unheated, unpasteurised honey, which preserves more enzymes, natural vitamins, phytonutrients and other nutritional elements that make honey so good for us. Local honey is also rumoured to offer relief from seasonal allergies, since repeated exposure to small amounts of allergens is a common allergy treatment. Alas there is no solid scientific proof for this, but honey is still all kinds of good for you and local honey means fewer food miles!
