Therefore, honey has the following benefits:
- Bactericide and antimicrobial: These properties help to cure colds and other throat infections. This is due to their low water content and enzymes.
- Wound healing: For the same reasons as above, honey helps unmarked healing.

According to a scientific article by Emilio Ros in 2010 in the scientific journal “Nutrients”. Here he gives the following benefits to nuts:
- It reduces the incidence of heart problems. This is because nuts contain monounsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants. Both compounds are very beneficial for the heart.
- Positive effects against cancer, hypertension and inflammations: He believes that there is clear evidence that nuts fight these health problems.
- Blood pressure: He also found clear evidence that regular consumption of nuts reduces blood pressure.

3. Recommendations
Honey with nuts and dried fruit is so delicious, you can have it plain and simple. We recommend it to prepare toast and to accompany biscuits and muffins.
4. Indications
Honey does not expire, but nuts do have an expiration date and can become rancid. Those covered with honey are fine, but because the density of the nut is lower, the nuts closest to the surface can come into contact with the air and therefore become rancid. If the nut has a rancid taste or smell, discard this top layer of honey with nuts.
