About Ambrosia

Ambrosia
Ambrosia is a delectable, edible and spreadable blend of raw California wildflower honey and bee pollen. Ambrosia is a beautiful yellow/golden color which comes from all that bee pollen. The raw honey and bee pollen is whipped until the bee pollen is completely emulsified in the honey. Once the bee pollen is whipped into the honey, it does not degrade, as no bacteria will grow in honey, and it will keep the bee pollen fresh. Archeologists have found 3,000 year old honey in Egyptian tombs that is still fresh -- no bacterial growth. The end product is a rich, creamy and very delicious superfood - full of vitamins, minerals, protein, carbohydrates, enzymes and much, much more.

Each 16 oz. bottle of Ambrosia contains approximately 60 grams of bee pollen - much higher than any other honey/bee pollen product I've seen. I have three flavors of Ambrosia: Regular Ambrosia, which contains honey and bee pollen only; Cinnamon Ambrosia which contains certified organic powdered cinnamon; and Spicy Ginger Ambrosia which contains certified organic powdered ginger and cinnamon. If you are a raw foodist, this is the perfect food for you - completely raw and loaded with nutrients and enzymes.

Hawaiian Honey
Our Hawaiian honey comes from the Island of Hawaii and is certified organic by the Hawaiian Organic Farmers Association. We have two kinds of Hawaiian honey: Lehua honey comes from the blossoms of the Ohia Tree and Christmas Berry honey from the flower of the Christmas Berry tree. Lehua is sweet and thick and Christmas Berry is dark and thin, more traditional than the Lehua. Our Spicey Lemon Honey is Lehua honey whipped with certified organic cinnamon, ginger and essential lemon oil. My personal favorite. Great in coffee or tea!

The purest honey in the world comes from Hawaii. It is the only place on our planet where the honey bees have not been infected with mites. Mites must be treated or they will destroy the hive. Some beekeepers are not very ethical how they treat their mites and use harmful chemicals that make their way into the honey we eat, instead of more natural and less harmful methods that take more time and are more expensive.

There are many uses for Ambrosia and Hawaiian Honey:

  • Spread on toast
  • Peanut butter and Ambrosia sandwiches - yum yum
  • Mix with plain yogurt
  • Blend with fruit smoothies
  • Pour over hot cereal
  • As a topping over ice cream or frozen yogurt (tip: bring a pot of water to a boil - turn the heat off and place Ambrosia in the water for just a few minutes until its very creamy and then pour over your ice cream. Ambrosia then hardens a bit and has a caramel-like texture. Its soooo good!!
  • How about a banana split made with low fat frozen yogurt and topped with Spicy Ginger Ambrosia and chopped walnuts
  • Mix with olive oil and balsamic vinegar for a sweet vinaigrette dressing
  • As a healthy sweetener for tea (do not pour boiling water over Ambrosia - add it to your tea when it has cooled down a bit to avoid destroying the nutrients).
  • My favorite - spread on hot baking powder biscuits - especially the kind they make in the deep South.
