Cooking For Health: Honey - Nutritive to the Core
Man has been aware of the value of honey for many centuries. A painting found on a rock in Spain, which is thought to be thousands of years old, show men taking honeycomb from a hole in a cliff. The ancient Egyptians used honey in cooking and for medicinal purposes and made sacrificial offerings of it to their gods. Honey has also been discovered in ancient Egyptian tombs in a sealed container and found to be almost as good in quality as the day it was made thousands of years before. Britain was once called the Isle of Honey and it was used widely in cooking before the advent of white sugar. The most popular use for honey was in the preparation of alcoholic drinks, such as mead. It was made from the honey, which remained in the combs after extraction by crushing and draining. The pieces of comb were then washed and the honey used to brew mead.
