Bee products; bees play a big part in our world food supply by pollinating many crops and at the same time providing us with wonderful superfoods such as Bee pollen, Royal jelly , Propolis and Honey. Just make sure it is from a well-managed organic source as the wild bee population is having a significant drop worldwide. Bee products are rich in B-complex vitamins, minerals and amino acids and many beneficial enzymes. Bee products as a whole are probably one of the most complete nutritional sources available today. Bee pollen consists of yellow-brown type of granules. Royal jelly is a very potent milky-white substance that make the queen bee grow bigger and live longer than other bees. Propolis is like a brown resin which has high immune-boosting properties and the honey is anti-bacterial, immune-boosting, full of nutrients and great as a general sweetener. Medicinal honey is even being used to heal wounds that normal medication cannot heal. All-in-all-together, bee products taste great when added into for example breakfast cereals to top up your nutrition with a wide range of extra, amazing benefits regular foods just don’t have.

Coconut; coconuts are very versatile, they can be added into foods and drinks or consumed directly on their own by drinking the coconut water or eating the inner “flesh”. The water is full of electrolytes which act as an aid to the body in its internal communication. The coconut water is so close to our blood plasma that in emergencies it has been used in blood transfusions. Coconuts are very high in nutritional value and even have anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. In ancient India they had a saying that the Coconut palm is the tree that provides all that is needed to live. Coconut can be used as food, as drink and internally for good digestion. Externally it is known as one of the best things you can give your skin. Myself, I eat a lot of coconut oil and have to be careful not to eat too much all of the time because it is so nice! No matter how good something is, everything in balance and in the right proportions is best. One note to mention; coconuts are high in saturated fats and people generally think that this is a bad thing. Yes, animal saturated fats are bad for the health. However, medium-chain fatty acid saturated fats in coconuts are good for health, good for digestion and even help regulate cholesterol and weight. A coconut is a true health and beauty product from nature.

Cacao; also referred to as “the food of the Gods”. Most people think of cacao as being just the chocolate which we find in the (processed) chocolate bars in the shops, but here we refer to the organic, raw version as the original bean itself or as nibs or in powder form. Raw cacao is a health food, it has a hundred times more antioxidants than a kiwi fruit. It is very rich in magnesium (helps in good calcium absorption) and high in sulphur which has detoxifying properties.
