What Is Raw Honey?

We all know what “Raw” exactly means when it comes to uncooked vegetables and meat. It has all the living enzymes, natural vitamins and a range of nutritional elements. Likewise, when raw honey is collected directly from the honey extractors it is raw and has not gone through any heating, processing or pasteurization process.

The raw honey is an alkaline-forming food same as the fruit. When the raw honey mixes with the digestive system it becomes alkaline and doesn’t ferment in the stomach. Its best for people who have acidity issues to maintain the acid-alkaline in the body.
