What is raw and organic honey?
Honey is Raw when it is not processed or heated and is col extracted from the hive. Organically produced honey is free from all antibiotics and has not been infused with any additional flavorings or sweeteners. It is kept in an environment with only wild flowers which has not been given any fertilizers or spray.
Commercially available honey is usually heavily processed, pasteurized and heated to make it more appealing for the customer. Commercially bought honey may also be blended with other low quality honey or mixed with refine sugars. These processes destroy all the vitamins, minerals, amino acids and enzymes that the honey contains. Pasteurization also reduces honey’s nutritional value, benefits and quality.
Why Honey crystallizes
Most people think that the honey is gone bad when it turns into solid crystals, some think it has a lot of table sugar. All of this I not true. Crystallization of honey is natural process and Honey is considered Raw if it crystallized after some time. That is why commercial companies’ process and heat honey so that it does not crystallize and mislead people who do not know about honey structure.
At Beewild we never heat or process honey to maintain its natural efficacy, minerals, amino acids and enzymes.
