This weeks feature honey is Thyme Honey.
RAW THYME HONEY
• Powerful anti-oxidant properties.
The anti-oxidants in thyme honey are defensive. This means they bind damaging oxidants preventing them from developing into free radicals and causing cell damage. Thyme honey is one of the richest sources of these anti-oxidants.

• Probably New Zealand’s strongest flavoured honey.
A wonderful gourmet treat, a little goes a long way – delicious on french toast and crepes. Ideal for pairing with salty cheese or in savoury marinades. Try it as a glaze on your favourite lamb dish.

• Anti-inflammatory.
Effective at fighting inflammation all over the body due to the high concentration of thymol. If you have a sore throat, try the soothing comfort of a cup of Thyme Honey tea.

• Cough suppressant.
Great for nagging coughs, useful to keep on hand to use as a mucus suppressant.

• Healing properties.
Helps reduce swelling and inflammation on areas of the skin that have been damaged.

• Anti-allergenic
Contains a variety of anti-allergenic compounds that help prevent the release of histamines reducing the frequency and severity of allergic reactions.

• History of Thyme Honey
Originated in Greece and the countries around the Mediterranean and referenced in many classical texts. The herb thyme was brought to the Central Otago region in New Zealand by the Chinese gold-miners in the 1880’s and wild thyme now grows abundantly throughout the arid, rocky landscapes that border Alexandra.
