The Sweet Benefits of Natural Raw Honey
Honey is the sweet treat that’s actually good for you. We love our bees, so we take great care to make sure they’re healthy and happy. Our natural raw honey is delicious and loaded with healthy plant compounds that provide many health benefits. Never pasteurized or high-pressure filtered, it retains all the trace vitamins, minerals, pollens, enzymes, flavors and aromas that make honey so appealing.
Natural raw honey is fat free, cholesterol free, sodium free, and gluten free. It’s also a natural anti-bacterial that can be helpful in treating minor wounds or sore throats. There are many studies suggesting that natural raw honey may have other beneficial health effects.
What Is 'Raw' Honey?
Raw means it’s never been pasteurized or high-pressure filtered. Both processes remove or destroy the many beneficial compounds found in raw natural honey. Commercial producers of honey pasteurize (heat to high temperature) it to prevent it from crystalizing. Many even add corn syrup to reduce their costs.
All natural raw honey will crystallize (granulate) – this is normal and is a good sign that the honey is pure. This does not mean it’s bad, because honey does not spoil. Gently warm the jar in hot tap water to dissolve the crystals without destroying the beneficial compounds.
