Why raw honey?

Raw honey is the crudest and natural form of honey you can purchase. It’s unfiltered and unpasteurized, which means there is no processing or heating to decrease its natural vitamin and mineral content. Raw honey contains disease-preventing and disease-fighting flavonoids. It has been scientifically proven to help with allergies, diabetes, sleep problems, coughs and wound healing. It is an excellent pre- and post-workout snack for better energy during and better recovery afterward.

A phytonutrient powerhouse.  Phytonutrients are compounds found in plants that help protect the plant from harm. For example, some keep insects away or shield the plant from ultraviolet radiation. The phytonutrients in honey are responsible for its antioxidant properties, as well as its antibacterial and antifungal power. They’re also thought to be the reason raw honey has shown immune-boosting and anticancer benefits. Heavy processing destroys these valuable nutrients.

Raw honey is teeming with an array of healthy elements:

• Pollen: rich in vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, antioxidants and is richer in protein than any animal source
• Propolis: antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant
• Royal Jelly: amino acids, lipids, sugars, vitamins, proteins, vitamins D and E. It is said to support healthy fertility
• Allergies: local raw honey can help ward off seasonal allergies and hay fever
• Alkaline-forming: can counteract things like acid indigestion
• Amylase: an enzyme that helps pre-digest starchy foods
• Tummy Friendly: lots of good bacteria
• Excellent wound healer

• It works as a cough suppressant. Research has suggested that honey is as effective as dextromethorphan, a common ingredient in over-the-counter cough medication.

Important Notes on Raw Honey

Raw honey is not safe for children under 12 months old to ingest. This is due to spores and bacteria found naturally in honey – adults’ digestive systems are able to easily break these components down, but an infant’s system is not yet developed enough and their stomach acids are too weak. Once an infant reaches the age of 1 year or older, their intestines have a balance of acids that help destroy and fight off any toxins that the bacteria produce. Because any bacteria or spores are released and killed in the digestive system, it is perfectly safe to ingest raw honey while pregnant.

Crystallisation is nature’s mark of quality, it is a natural and uncontrolled process. Containing more than 70% sugars and less than 20% water, honey is naturally an unstable super-saturated sugar solution. Hence, over time, almost all pure raw honey crystallizes. The composition ratio of glucose and fructose in a floral nectar source determines how fast the honey crystallizes. Honey varietals with a low fructose to glucose ratio, such as floral varietals Dandelion, Aster, Clover, and Rata honey crystallize swiftly in days and weeks; while honey varietals with a high fructose to glucose ratio e.g, Tupelo, Acacia, Longan, Eucalyptus, Leatherwood and Honeydew crystallize slower. 

*Raw honey is high in good calories, so it can lead to weight gain if consumed in large amounts. If your require more relief than the honey alone can provide, consider supplementing with Cannabis Oil.

Storage & Care

Heating raw honey past 35°C changes the honey’s essential composition, degrades its quality and destroys beneficial enzymes. Never put honey in the microwave - If crystallisation occurs, simply put the jar of honey in some warm water – this will break the crystals down and bring the honey back to its original consistency (**Please be patient as this process takes a little time**).

Store in a cool, dark place.

Keep out of direct sunlight.
