Answer 2

The term raw has different connotations depending on the food, or the industry. Beekeepers would called honey that has either not been removed from the honeycomb, or has just been removed but not processed "raw honey." Once honey is removed from the comb, it will begin to crystallize immediately if not quickly processed. If raw means "not processed or fooled around with" then only honey still in the comb is raw, as honey must be processed after it is removed. Honey is heated, or pasteurized, to kill bacteria, especially botulinum, the bacteria which cause deadly botulism poisoning. Raw honey might refer to unpasteurized honey. Sometimes refers to honey which is not heated above 105°F and/or unfiltered honey. There is no legal definition for the term raw honey. It is rarely mentioned as a term outside raw food diet books or books about superfoods. However, there is some concern over honey that is ultra-filtered, which removes all the pollen from the honey. Without the pollen, there is no way to tell what flowers the honey came from, or where it came from. According the the FDA, honey that has been ultra-filtered and contains no pollen does not meet the definition of honey. The term raw referring to unfiltered may be a useful distinction. The term pure honey and raw honey are not really related, but neither may mean much on a honey label. Some honey might be labelled pure because it is ultra-filtered and crystal clear, so that all the solids have been removed. This isn't necessarily a good thing for honey. Strained honey will have most of the larger solids removed but still contain most of the usual amount of pollen. It is hard to tell just be a label how honey is processed as the terms are not regulated.

The Pure Set at tesco "might" be raw or somewhat raw. It is hard to determine on their website. But here is what you look for:



I have just completed a full 2 week review of raw honeys and in 2 days will have a full video done reviewing on great family of beekeepers.



Pasteurized honey is any honey heated at 130 degrees or higher. When it is, it is basically dead at that point and has no real health or nutritional value at all, and not raw.



All honey starts as raw then it is extracted from the frames (combs). The term raw is misused and has come to be any honey not heated at 130 degrees or higher.



After it is removed from the comb, the honey is sometimes bottled right then and it is 100% raw. But most honey is also strained to remove "impurities" like bees legs, wax etc. Even honey that is strained is really basically still raw. Only a little bit of its great value is lost.



Then some honey is heated up to 105 degrees to make it flow faster and run through filters. If it is lightly filtered, it is still labeled as raw. But at this point it is No longer raw. When it is filtered at all and heated even a little, it is no longer raw. However, this is still health promoting and great honey. Some of its benefits have been altered and removed but it is still good.



Still other honey is heated up to 130 degree and heavily filtered. This honey is now worthless except as a sweetener. Almost no honey you get at any normal store is raw.



Another thing to note: 75% of what is sold as honey in groceries store is not even honey. This has been proven in many studies, once just recently. It is partly dead honey and the rest of it is sugar, high fructose corn syrup, etc. The reason most pasteurize it and heavily filter is so it looks so pure and golden and clear and flows fast. People expect this to be honey, which is too bad.



But true raw honey will start to harden as soon as a week or two after harvesting. This is called crystallizing. It will first turn harder like a soft wax and months later harden even more and last indefinitely.



So.......if you see honey in a store that does not say raw and is so perfect and clear and liquid- it is not raw. If it says raw AND it is a solid with impurities (good stuff like pollen) at the top, then it s most likely raw. If you cannot order online, and have any beekeepers locally, get a bottle from one of them and ask how they process it.

Answer 5

Most honey has been heated to about 70 degrees. Raw honey has not.

Answer 6

All honey is raw and all honey is pure , honey is a natural product produced by bees . The beekeeper extracts the honey by spinning the honeycomb and putting it into jars . You can buy your honey in any supermarket or health shop and they are all good quality .

Answer 7

honey is a natural product nothing is added it preserves itself sometimes one or more different sources are blended it's all raw you can buy it with bits of the comb still in it I suppose this is what you mean it's no different except for the comb the other has been extracted without the comb and is just pure honey
