Raw Honey

About this product

Raw honey, strained from the honeycomb, has a number of health benefits. It is loaded with healthy plant compounds and has been linked to several health benefits. Once strained, raw honey is bottled and ready to be enjoyed. On the other hand, the production of regular honey involves several more steps before it is bottled -- such as pasteurization and filtration. Raw honey contains a wide variety of nutrients. It has approximately 22 amino acids, 31 different minerals and a wide range of vitamins and enzymes in trace amounts. Warning: Raw honey, which is unfiltered, unheated, and unpasteurized, can pose some dangers, including exposure to spores of the bacteria Clostridium botulinum, which can cause botulism, a rare but serious condition. Botulism is especially dangerous for babies under one year old, but it can also occur in children and older adults. Raw honey can contain pollen, which can cause serious allergic reactions. Honey can interact with certain medications including anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs and Phenytoin (Dilantin). If you experience side effects like nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea after eating raw honey, see a doctor immediately. Consult with a healthcare provider before consuming raw honey if you have a known allergy to bee products.
