Raw Honey - Pure & Natural Honey

What is raw honey?

It is honey that is collected by bees and then harvested and bottled fresh. Raw honey is unprocessed and unpasteurised; retaining all its healthy goodness. 

A versatile addition to your diet, you can drizzle it over porridge or yoghurt, spread over fresh toast for a delicious breakfast or a filling snack to give you an energy boost. Real honey is also the healthiest substitute for sugar.

Fresh honeycomb is one of the best natural honey. It comes straight from the hive in its original state, just as nature intended.

What is pure honey?

Pure honey is unfiltered honey that has not been adulterated with additives, such as sugar syrup or corn syrup, which are commonly used to make processed honey cheaper.

An investigation conducted by the UK branch of the Honey Authenticity Network in 2024 found that 24 out of 25 honey samples available in large retailers, including supermarkets, exhibited suspicious signs of not being genuine pure honey.

Honey is often consumed for its nutritional benefits; however, most inexpensive supermarket 'honey' has been heavily processed and usually bulked out with sugar syrup. Honey fraud is one of the biggest, yet least recognised issues in the food industry, with fake honey widely available on shop shelves. Buying from artisan producers is one of the best ways to ensure that you are getting real honey.

What are the health benefits of eating raw honey?

Pure honey, which is unpasteurised and unfiltered, is the healthiest honey, as this has the most significant benefits:

• It still retains all the nutrients, minerals, vitamins, and bioactive compounds, such as enzymes, which can help you look and feel your best.
• Regular consumption may help enhance your immune system and provide your body with a healthy edge against illness.
• A natural antiseptic, it may also accelerate wound healing and alleviate the symptoms of a cold and a sore throat.
• In moderate quantities, it is also safe to give to most adult dogs as a sweet treat.
• Organic honey is produced by bees that collect nectar from flowers grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
