Is it really raw honey?

Question

I just bought a jar of honey today at supermarket! and it labeled as Raw 100% pure natural uncooked honey! is that jar of honey really raw or they just label it like that?

Answer 1

If they want to stay out of court, then it should be.

Answer 2

if it says its raw its raw. it is sweeter than  reg honey because it has natural sugars

These good sugars can help to improve your daily energy and stamina naturally.  

Look, when it comes to supporting a healthy heart, you want to go with a proven product. Besides, what is your health worth to you?

However, please note that while raw honey is the safest sugar to use, you should not use it in excessive amounts. If you have elevated insulin/leptin levels, you will need to minimize or eliminate your use of any sugars — including raw honey.   Plus, honey should not be given to infants under one year old.

This diversity of carbohydrates also improves the intensity of sweet flavors and reduces the concentration of sour or bitter flavors.

Raw Honey is an absolute treasure chest of nature’s gifts.

Helps to boost your energy and endurance naturally

Unfiltered and uncooked to give you a rich, fulfilling taste with all the nutritious benefits

Promotes the growth of “good” bacteria in your intestinal tract

Easily absorbed into the body to support good overall health

Great way to soothe your skin, utilizing natural antioxidants to help assist in blocking free radicals

Helps with occasional sleeplessness

Honey promotes a healthy heart by reducing homocysteine levels

No refrigeration needed — for your convenience anywhere, anytime

So, enjoy a cup of your favorite warm beverage with an added teaspoon of raw honey – and feel good about it…

Answer 3

When the bees make their honey and store it in the honey combs its sealed with a thin layer of beeswax. The honey producer cuts that seal off using a heated knife to open up the Honey comb. Then its extracted from the honey comb using a centrifuge or something similar. What flows out is Raw honey. To prevent bacteria buildup from some surfaces of the comb, the honey is heated. The Honey comb wax will float to the surface of the mixture and skimmed off. It is still considered raw honey unless its pasteurized(to kill the bacteria present around the honey comb). the difference between Raw and cooked is the presence of Beeswax. and pasteurization.

Did you know that honey never goes bad. If it crystallizes into sugars, if you heat it in a saucepan of boiling water, it will re jell into liquid honey and can continue to be used as wished.

If you want pure raw honey dont buy in a big store chain. Go to an Organic market or farmers market and this way you know its 100 percent pure raw honey. And yes when heated Honey will melt. One good way to know if its straight from the farm is are there little bits of beeswax in it, its not going to harm you if you digest them belive me. As to know what raw honey looks like its kind of hard to describe in words but it should be a bit cloudy, if you can see thru it its been refined and filtered. So here are some links with pics of what raw and refined honey look like so you kinda know.  I too grew up with a Bee keeper for a parent, we used to extract the honey from the combs all by ourselves and we never filtered it. What we sold  was pure raw honey. But keep in mind not all honey can be seen thru  the third link shows the grades and types of honey that are  made from different flowers and such.

Answer 5

Never realized honey was heated.  might be similar to milk

pasteurization.  and ummmm as far as taste why don't you tell us.

I'm curious now.  Maybe it's like organic produce grown without pesticides or something.

sounds yummy though

Answer 6

When you heat honey it melts. My Dad raised bees when I was young and we put the honey in jars and it lasted until we ate it all up. YUM  There is no reason to heat the honey.
