Healthy Traditions Organic Raw Honey comes from the frontier areas of Canada, and is only harvested during a 6-week period in the summer. Healthy Traditions is the exclusive source of this premium organic honey in the U.S. Most commercial honeys available on the market today come from bee farms, where the bees are controlled within a certain area and get their pollen from usually only one kind of flower. Many of the plants that produce these flowers (clover, orange blossom, etc.) are grown with pesticides and fertilizers as well. In addition, almost all honeys on the market are pasteurized in high heat and filtered, removing many of the beneficial nutrients and enzymes.

Healthy Traditions Organic Raw Honey has not been subjected to the heat of processing, only warmed enough to flow (same temperatures the honey would see inside the hive). We select only premium honey that is pure, smooth and creamy, with the consistency of soft margarine at harvest. It contains live yeast and enzymes, because it has not been processed. It also contains pollen because it has not been filtered—merely screened.

Fine textured crystals are characteristic of totally pure, unheated, unprocessed, raw honey. Properly crystallized honey has a fine, smooth texture. Crystallized honey preserves natural goodness and doesn’t drip. The more rapidly honey crystallizes the finer the texture will be. It will also turn harder over time as it crystallizes. Truly raw honeys do not deteriorate with age, but like fine wines, continue to age and develop into more complex tastes.

Italian_Pizza_Flour

Type 00 Flour. Buy it here. “The light airy texture makes this flour a joy to work with and your creations will turn out fantastico!”

In 2014 when we tested our USDA certified organic grains, we found that almost all of them had traces of the herbicide glyphosate at levels similar to non-organic wheat. (See: ALERT: Certified Organic Food Grown in U.S. Found Contaminated with Glyphosate Herbicide.)

Some scientists and researchers believe that the epidemic of gluten-sensitive diseases we are seeing today are related to glyphosate, and not necessarily the gluten.(See: Common Weedkiller Used in Modern Agriculture Could be Main Factor in Gluten Intolerance.)

While anyone with gluten sensitivities definitely needs to avoid gluten, for the rest of us, we need to be consuming healthy grains that are not contaminated. After much research, we found a source in Italy that grows traditional soft wheat where batches we tested showed no trace of herbicides.

Healthy Traditions is excited to bring you this high-quality Italian Type 00 Flour! This is the flour Italians use to make the absolute best pizza crust. It is also very versatile and can be used to make light and fluffy bread, cakes, fresh pasta and more! The light airy texture makes this flour a joy to work with and your creations will turn out fantastico!

This easy to use flour is from soft wheat grown on a single, organic, Italian farm that doesn’t use any chemical pesticides or fertilizers.

The flour has been milled by one of the best family run mills in Italy. This flour has been sifted but is NOT enriched, bromated, bleached or otherwise adulterated in any way. The only ingredient is soft wheat flour.

Servings: 24
Preparation Time: 20 minutes

Lightly toast coconut flakes and allow to cool. Lightly toast almond slices and allow to cool.

Mix and gently heat coconut oil, maple syrup, honey, sugar and cocoa powder, over low heat until well combined. Be careful not to scorch the cocoa powder. Turn heat off and stir in vanilla and salt. Then stir in the almond butter, toasted almond slices, and toasted coconut flakes.

When well mixed, taste the mixture to ensure it’s sweet and salty enough for your taste. Adjust by adding salt or honey if necessary and mix well to combine.

Spoon little mounds of the mixture onto a sheet pan, lined with parchment paper (or into candy molds) and place in the freezer to set. Store in the refrigerator or freezer in an airtight container.
