FAQs

What is raw honey?

Raw honey is honey in its purest form, taken straight from the honeycomb with minimal processing. Unlike commercial honey, raw honey is not pasteurized or ultra-filtered, preserving beneficial enzymes, pollen, propolis, antioxidants, and other natural compounds that make it nutritionally superior.

Is raw honey good for you?

Yes, raw honey offers numerous health benefits. It contains antioxidants, has antimicrobial properties, can help soothe sore throats, support digestive health, and may even help with seasonal allergies. Its natural enzymes aid digestion, and its antioxidants help fight free radicals in the body.

How can I tell if honey is truly raw?

Authentic raw honey typically has a cloudy appearance due to pollen content, may contain small particles of honeycomb or propolis, and will crystallize over time (which is natural and doesn't affect quality). It should also have a rich, complex flavor profile distinct from commercial honey's uniform sweetness.

What are the different types of raw honey?

There are many types of raw honey based on the floral source. Common varieties include wildflower, clover, buckwheat, orange blossom, manuka, and acacia. Each has a unique color, flavor profile, and potential health benefits, making exploring types of honey an adventure for your palate.

How should raw honey be stored?

Raw honey should be stored in a tightly sealed container at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Refrigeration isn't necessary and may accelerate crystallization. If your honey crystallizes, simply place the jar in warm (not hot) water until it returns to liquid form.

How long does raw honey last?

When properly stored, raw honey can last indefinitely. Archaeological discoveries have found honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that was still preserved after thousands of years! While raw honey doesn't spoil, we recommend consuming it within two years for the best flavor experience.

Can you eat raw honey directly from the comb?

Yes, you can eat raw honey straight from the honeycomb. In fact, the wax is perfectly edible and contains beneficial compounds. Many honey connoisseurs consider honey in the comb to be the ultimate raw honey experience.

Why is raw honey sometimes crystallized?

Crystallization is a natural process and actually indicates quality raw honey. It occurs when glucose molecules in the honey separate from water and form crystals. Different types of honey crystallize at different rates depending on their glucose-to-fructose ratio and storage conditions.

Where can I buy raw honey?

While local farmers' markets may offer raw honey, Smiley Honey provides the convenience of buying raw honey online with guaranteed quality and purity. Our selection features various types of raw honey, making us the ideal destination to shop for raw honey with confidence.

Is all honey from the USA considered raw?

No, most commercially available honey in USA supermarkets is pasteurized and ultra-filtered. To ensure you're getting genuine raw honey in USA, look for products specifically labeled as raw and unfiltered from trusted suppliers like Smiley Honey who prioritize traditional beekeeping methods.
