What is Raw Honey?
It's probably not too difficult to remember well what "raw" means when you associate it with uncooked vegetables and meat whereby any form of heating is avoided so as to ensure all the natural vitamins and living enzymes and other nutritional elements are preserved.
Why Raw Honey is Special and The Best
Raw honey is the most original sweet liquid produced by honeybees from the concentrated nectar of flowers and collected straight from the honey extractor. It is unheated, unpasteurized, unprocessed honey.
As an alkaline-forming food, this type of honey contains ingredients similar to those found in fruits, which become alkaline in the digestive system. It doesn't ferment in the stomach and it can be used to counteract acid indigestion.
Most Supermarket Honey is Not Raw
Most honey found in the supermarket is not raw honey. It has been pasteurized (heated at 70 degrees Celsius or more, followed by rapid cooling) for easy filtering and bottling so that it looks cleaner and smoother, more appealing on the shelf, and easier to handle and package.
Pasteurization kills any yeast cell in the honey and prevents fermentation, which is a concern for storing honey with high moisture content over a long period especially in warm weather.
Fermentation does not pose a health danger, but it does affect the taste of honey. Heating also slows down the speed of crystallization in liquid honey.
When honey is heated, its delicate aromas, yeast and enzymes which are responsible for activating vitamins and minerals in the body system are partially destroyed.
