Why Raw Honey?
Raw Honey is honey straight from the hive and is usually strained, but not ultra-filtered or pasteurized. Raw Honey contains pollen, enzymes, flavonoids, antioxidants and other micronutrients that are usually filtered out or destroyed when honey is processed. Raw honey is a powerhouse of Phytonutrients.
Is Crystallized Honey Okay?
YES! Honey that never crystallizes or commercial honey usually will have added Corn Syrup to prevent crystallization. Pure Raw Honey NATURALLY crystalizes, especially Raw Lavender Honey (Honey that is made from bees foraging from lavender flowers) due to the higher glucose to fructose ratio. Crystallized honey has not spoiled and tastes exactly the same. Honey will never go bad and crystallized honey still has the same quality and flavor, just maybe a different color and texture.
If you prefer, you can temporarily reverse this natural process. Simply heat your jar of honey in a bowl of hot water (not boiling) for a few minutes before use. Repeat until desired consistency is reached. To keep honey "raw" and to preserve health benefits of raw honey, the temperature should stay under 110°
