The Benefits of Raw Honey
Did you know raw honey can have as many antioxidants as fruits and vegetables? Or that research shows raw honey can have anti-inflammatory effects? You may think of honey as a good treatment for a sore throat or cough, but it also has antibacterial, antifungal and antimicrobial properties and can be used as a topical treatment for wounds.
Healthline says “Raw honey has been used as a remedy throughout history and has a variety of health benefits and medical uses. It’s even used in some hospitals as a treatment for wounds. Many of these health benefits are specific to raw, or unpasteurized, honey.”
Raw honey. That’s the only kind we sell.
All Craft Honey is, by definition, raw honey, delivered from the beehive to your table. This means you receive not just its wonderful taste but all the enzymes, antioxidants, and other health benefits, including the tiny pollen particles to help you build resistance to seasonal allergies.
Most of the honey you buy in commercial grocers and big box stores are micro-filtered and heated, which removes the pollen and destroys the natural enzymes.
Craft Honey includes the pollen and natural enzymes, which set it apart from most commercial honey. It’s also pure honey harvested in the U.S. No sweeteners, syrups, artificial flavors, chemicals or other foreign substances have been added. No imported honey has been blended in to reduce the cost.
Because Craft Honey is not pasteurized, it should not be fed to infants under the age of one or to immunocompromised individuals..
