What does it mean by raw honey? Honey which is collected from the honeycomb of beehive or colony is called raw honey. It is only filtered by nylon cloth for the removal of the large particle of beeswax only. This honey tends to crystalized faster than processed honey. What does it mean by Regular or processed honey? Raw honey is not transparently clear, it’s slightly thick and with an uneven texture. To make it transparent, clear and smooth, the processing of honey is carried out at 61-degree Celsius. This process makes honey transparent and smooth with the cost of losses of nutritional value. Difference between raw honey and processed honey. Raw contains all the nutrients like enzymes, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. While in the processed honey due to high heat (temperature) kills most of enzymes and vitamins Processed honey has not so health benefits as raw honey. Now question from where and how we collect this raw honey. I am a small scale beekeeper certified by National Beekeeping Board of India and doing beekeeping with the help of my family member. I have approx 2000 beehive. We migrate our beehive nearby Gir-forest of Gujarat and other farm fields of crops such as coriander, mustard, sunflower, pigeon peas, sesame, fennel, coconut, etc. Every plant has a special kind of nectar in its flowers. Characteristics of honey like taste, smell, color, thickness, texture, and crystallization are completely depended on this nectar. Our honey is 100% raw and antibiotic free. I am saying “Our honey”. Because we sell only what we harvest. In Indian society, there is a belief in peoples mind that if honey is crystallized than is the sign of adulteration. The crystallization of honey is a natural process. Pure honey can also be jammed (crystallized).
