We believe the best foods are those least touched by human processing. That's why we are so passionate about our Raw Forest Honey. This isn't the clear, uniform liquid you find in most supermarket squeeze bottles; it is a complex, cloudy, and richly-flavoured honey, harvested sustainably from wild hives deep within protected forest areas.
It is literally a taste of the wild, and its difference is more than just flavour—it’s about purity and unparalleled health benefits.
1. Raw, Unfiltered, Unadulterated: The Power is in the Purity
The vast majority of honey on the market is pasteurized (heat-treated) and ultra-filtered. This process is designed to make it look smooth and clear and prevent crystallization, but it comes at a cost: the destruction of its delicate health components.
Our Raw Forest Honey is simply strained to remove any large impurities (like wax bits), leaving the vital components fully intact:
-
Live Enzymes: These are the key digestive aids that help your body process the honey and other foods. Heat destroys them instantly.
-
Natural Pollen & Propolis: These particles are packed with antioxidants, immune-boosting compounds, and trace minerals. They are what give raw honey its slightly cloudy texture.
The take-away? When you eat our honey, you are consuming it in its whole, naturally therapeutic form.
2. A Wild Pharmacy: The Source is Key to Its Potency
The secret to our honey's powerful health benefits lies in where the bees forage. Our hives are placed in diverse, deep forest ecosystems, far away from agricultural pesticides, meaning the bees feed on:
-
Diverse Flora: Nectar is collected from countless varieties of wild medicinal herbs, forest blossoms, and various tree saps, not just a single, commercial crop.
-
Antioxidant Power: This wild foraging leads to a complex honey that is often significantly higher in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds than conventional honey.
-
Unique Flavour: The taste changes subtly with the seasons and the specific trees the bees visit, offering notes that are richer, darker, and more complex than regular honey.
3. Nature’s Immune and Energy Booster
By keeping our honey raw and pure, we preserve its natural medicinal qualities:
-
Soothes Colds & Coughs: Raw honey is a time-tested natural cough suppressant and has known antimicrobial properties, making it an ideal remedy for cold and flu season.
-
A Steady Energy Source: Unlike refined sugar, the natural composition of honey (fructose and glucose) provides a steady, gentle release of energy, perfect for athletes or anyone needing a mid-day lift without the crash.
-
Naturally Antimicrobial: Its low water content and natural acidity give it inherent antimicrobial properties, which is one reason it’s been used for centuries to help soothe minor wounds.
Tips for Using Your Raw Forest Honey
-
Stir, Don't Boil: Never add raw honey to boiling hot water or tea, as the high heat will destroy the delicate enzymes. Add it when the liquid is cool enough to comfortably sip.
-
Spread it Thick: Enjoy it on a slice of Khapli toast or a drizzle over your organic yogurt and fruit.
-
Embrace Crystallization: If your honey thickens or crystallizes, that’s a sure sign of its purity and high glucose content! Gently warm the jar in a bowl of warm water (not hot) to return it to a liquid state.
Embrace the sweetness of the wild and feel the difference that true purity makes.
