​

The Oaks Honey?

Raw honey is a thick, sweet syrup made by honeybees. Unlike regular honey, raw honey is not pasteurized or filtered. It is as close to the hive as you can get. You may be wondering if raw honey is healthy or if you can eat it on its own.

Raw honey is an excellent source of antioxidants, offering a variety of health benefits. It contains healthful bee pollen, bee propolis, and antioxidants.

​​​

Because it is not pasteurized, raw honey contains more nutrients than regular honey.​​

​

Who Should Avoid Raw Honey?

If you have a severe pollen allergy, eating raw honey could cause a serious allergic reaction. Honey of any kind, including raw honey, is not safe for infants under 1 year old. 

​

Honey Crystallisation

Crystallization, also known as granulation, is a natural process that occurs in honey and contributes to its preservation. Therefore, it is not a sign of deterioration. Honey is a highly saturated sugar solution from which glucose crystallizes over time. Depending on the nectar from which honey is produced, some types crystallize faster than others.​

​​​​

The crystallization can be reversed by gentle heating. Place the honey container in a hot water bath for some time to turn the crystals into liquid again before using.​
