The Health Benefits of Raw Honey

Honey. It’s amazing. Delicious and nutritious all wrapped into one. But not all honey is created equal. In fact, not all “honey” is even real honey… Honey is one of the most commonly mislabeled foods. Last year, Food Safety News found that 75% of store-bought honey was ultra-filtered and did not contain pollen. Without pollen, it’s impossible to identify the honey’s source. Plus, the US FDA states that any “honey” that no longer contains pollen cannot technically be considered honey. The health benefits of raw honey are seemingly endless: 

Anti-viral and anti-fungal properties

Contains polyphenols, a powerful antioxidant

Helps ward off allergies

Soothes sore throats and is a natural expectorant (i.e. is great to eat when you have a cold)

Stabilizes blood pressure and balances blood sugar levels
