Raw honey is honey that is in its most natural, unprocessed form.
It is extracted directly from the honeycomb and typically only filtered to remove large bits of wax and debris,
but it is not pasteurized (heated to high temperatures) or processed in other ways.
This means that raw honey retains its natural enzymes, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, which are often lost during pasteurization.
Raw honey often appears cloudier and may contain bits of wax, pollen, and propolis, all of which contribute to its unique flavor and health benefits.
The pollen and propolis that remain in unfiltered honey are thought to offer health benefits, including supporting the immune system and reducing inflammation.
Raw honey can have a richer, more complex flavor profile than highly processed honey, which may appeal to those who appreciate the natural qualities of honey..
It may crystallize over time.
If this happens, you can gently warm it to return it to its liquid state
