Farm families of MS uses Sweet Mississippi Honey for turkey rollers | Restaurants

Honey is the sweet fluid produced by honey bees from the nectar of flowers. Worker honey bees transform the floral nectar that they gather into honey by adding enzymes to the nectar and reducing the moisture.  Eating locally produced honey has many health benefits including reducing allergies to local plants.

The color and flavor of honey differ depending on the bees’ nectar source (the blossoms).  In general, lighter colored honeys are mild in flavor, while darker honeys are usually more robust in flavor.
