Why is it so healthy
Honey is kept by the bees at around 30 to 35ºc within the hive. Once honey temperatures reach more than 37ºc, the honey starts to lose the amazing enzymes the bees add to the nectar to make it honey.Heating honey changes the molecular structure. When it is extracted, the honey is made up of complex long string sugars, which the body finds hard to break down and thus the honey makes its way to your lower and upper intestine and is broken down by the bacteria. Therefore, raw honey is prebiotic and can be great for your gut health.
How do I make my honey runny again without killing the enzymes?
If your honey is crystallised and you want to make it return to its runny state we suggest to gently heating it. Place your honey jar in the sun, on top of central heating or a sink of warm water. This will allow the top part of your Jar to become soft and usable and will return to a runny consistency without killing the amazing product it is. Your honey will return to a crystallised form again.

Busting with its natural flavours from each individual flora, it retains the natural enzymes, antioxidants and nutrients that commercial processing strips away and kills.

Keeping raw honey in its natural state serves more than just a sweet treat, it is rich in antioxidants, enzymes and nutrients. It acts as a natural energy booster, providing a healthy alternative to sweeteners. It will keep its antibacterial and anti inflammatory properties making it perfect for soothing sore throats, minor wounds, digestive health, aiding in allergies and contributing to a radiant complexion.
