Benefits of Orange Blossom Honey

It is honey sourced directly from Mexico's indigenous people and is transported and bottled with meticulous care following Best Practices. By purchasing this honey, not only will you be able to enjoy an amazing treat, but you'll also be supporting the livelihoods and communities of hardworking families.

These indigenous people live in remote villages throughout the towering mountain ranges, and they've been producing honey using traditional and sustainable methods for many generations.

We do not price-squeeze the indigenous people, as bulk grocers are doing annually. We pay a fair price per pound directly to the farmer without a middleman. By choosing our honey, you empower the indigenous producers of the Huasteca -- providing them with a sustainable income and helping them create a brighter future. This revenue stream impacts culture, society, and individual families across our southern border. Your support goes beyond just the initial purchase, we at The Source Matters™️ invest significant portions of all proceeds from La Huasteca Honey sales back into these indigenous communities through various non-profit organizations serving in the region. We sponsor incredible initiatives in these remote villages that touch the lives and minimize human suffering such as: medical, dental and optometry services, education workshops, literacy classes, and college scholarships. Literally you can make a meaningful difference in someone’s life one jar or pail at a time.

We are reversing poverty, not just through hand-outs, but through encouraging industry, agriculture, entrepreneurialism, education, and reinvigorating the human spirit of the forgotten poor.

These indigenous people take pride in the honey they produce and are dedicated to delivering the best quality product to you. They put so much care and attention into every jar, and each spoonful is packed with the natural goodness and sweetness that makes honey so delicious.

Remember this raw* honey has undergone zero processing and comes straight from beehives to our bottle. It is the real deal. You will love it!

Important Health Information:

*Raw honey is unprocessed and unfiltered, meaning it retains all of its natural beneficial properties, including vitamin and mineral content, antioxidants, and antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Orange Blossom raw honey is packed with enzymes that can boost digestion and improve overall gut health.

In addition to its health benefits, honey is also used in various culinary applications. It can be used as a natural sweetener in tea, coffee, and baked goods, or added to marinades and dressings for a touch of sweetness. It provides a natural and healthier alternative to processed sugar and artificial sweeteners.

Honey can also be used in beauty products and skin care, as it is a gentle moisturizer and has antibacterial properties that can help treat acne and other skin conditions.

Honey has been used in human diets and medicinal practices for thousands of years, and it has a wide range of health benefits. It is rich in antioxidants, which can help reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and has antibacterial properties that can help protect against infection. Honey also has a low glycemic index, making it a good alternative sweetener for people with diabetes or those trying to manage their blood sugar levels.

Honey Health Benefits

1. Boosts Immune System: Honey contains antimicrobial compounds that help fight off bacterial and viral infections, thus boosting the immune system.

2. Promotes Digestive Health: Honey has prebiotic properties that can improve gut health by promoting the growth of good bacteria.

3. Soothes Cough and Sore Throat: Honey has a soothing effect on the throat and can provide relief from cough and sore throat. 

4. Helps Manage Weight: Honey is a natural sweetener that can replace sugar in most recipes. It contains fewer calories and has a lower glycemic index than sugar, making it a healthier alternative for weight management.

5. Enhances Athletic Performance: Honey is a rich source of carbohydrates, which can provide instant energy to the body and boost athletic performance. 

6. Regulates Blood Sugar: Honey can help regulate blood sugar levels by reducing insulin resistance and improving glucose metabolism.

LA HUASTECA HONEY IS THE REAL DEAL!  You will love it!

What characterizes raw honey? Raw honey is meticulously maintained below 120 degrees F, ensuring it remains well below pasteurization levels. Heating honey above 140 degrees F leads to the deactivation of its natural enzymes and a subsequent reduction in nutritional value. To prevent crystallization, many commercially available honeys undergo pasteurization or flash-pasteurization, albeit with the possibility of introducing minor impurities that accompany the honey from the hive during extraction.

When packaging honey for their customers, The Source Matters™ never subjects honey to temperatures higher than that found in the beehive, thereby preserving its raw characteristics.

In the event of honey crystallization, customers need not fret as this is a natural occurrence in raw honey. To restore the honey to its liquid state, they can simply portion out desired honey volume into a glass container and set that in a warm water bath (around 120 degrees F or less).

Honey is composed of four distinct types of sugars, with each type influencing the crystallization rate. Varieties with higher crystallization rates crystallize quickly, while others, like sweet clover, display less propensity for crystallization due to their specific sugar composition. Maintaining honey above 70 degrees F is recommended to minimize crystallization, particularly during colder months like Fall and Winter.

The natural preservative qualities of raw honey grant it an indefinite shelf life, much like sugar.
