Frequently Asked Questions
What is raw unfiltered honey?
Raw unfiltered honey is honey as it exists in the beehive, which hasn't been heated above natural hive temperatures or finely filtered. It retains all the pollen, enzymes, and other micronutrients that are usually removed during standard processing.
How is raw unfiltered honey different from regular honey?
Unlike regular honey, raw unfiltered honey hasn’t undergone pasteurization and filtration processes that can destroy beneficial nutrients. It tends to have a more robust flavor and a creamier texture compared to regular honey.
What are the health benefits of raw unfiltered honey?
Raw unfiltered honey contains a variety of nutrients and enzymes that can support overall wellness. It is believed to have antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant properties, although individual responses may vary.
How should I store raw unfiltered honey?
Store your raw unfiltered honey in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Over time, it may crystallize, but this is a natural process and doesn’t affect the quality of the honey.
How can I use raw unfiltered honey?
You can use raw unfiltered honey in the same ways you would use regular honey. It’s great for sweetening beverages, drizzling over yogurt or pancakes, baking, and even as a natural skin care ingredient.
Why does raw unfiltered honey crystallize and is it still safe to eat?
Crystallization is a natural process that occurs when the glucose in honey precipitates into solid crystals. It doesn’t affect the quality or safety of the honey, and it can be easily returned to a liquid state by gently warming.
