What is Raw Honey?

What is Raw Honey?

It is honey in its most natural form - like nature meant it to be. Raw honey comes straight from the beehive and is taken from a single apiary. It is a natural superfood thanks to its unique mineral, vitamin, and nutrient content.

Raw honey is unprocessed, unpasteurized, and unheated. Besides, it is free of artificial additives like colourants, flavours, preservatives, refined sugars, antibiotics, and pesticides. It ensures that our honey is unmatched both in taste and nutritional value and is far superior than regular processed honey.

A key sign of raw honey is crystallising as time goes by, forming a more firm texture composed of fine crystals. Crystallisation is a natural process, and neither the taste nor the quality of the honey is compromised. It is a sign that the honey is raw, free from added sugar, syrups, and heat treatments.

Another sign of raw and unprocessed honey is frosting. It usually looks like a small white streak or crescent that gradually spreads on the shoulder or in the narrow upper part of the jar. These white areas are tiny air bubbles that get trapped between honey and the side or shoulder of the jar. Frosting is a natural feature of honey, and it doesn't impact the taste or the quality of honey.
