Honey, Polyphenols, Antioxidants, and Your Health

August 14, 2023

Raw honey is actually quite a unique gem compared to its processed counterpart. So, why might you want to have a jar of this golden goodness in both your pantry and medicine cabinet, you ask? Well, Raw honey is packed with over 30 different polyphenols, a whopping 22 amino acids, plus a diverse array of vitamins and minerals. Now, let's talk about polyphenols. These little wonders are the reason raw honey is bursting with antioxidants, which play a superhero role in helping your body fend off those pesky free radicals (and are believed to give your overall health a boost). The catch? The pasteurization process that regular honey goes through? Well, it unfortunately zaps away these mighty phytonutrients. So, if you're looking for a natural health ally, raw honey might just be your sweet answer!
