Raw Wi Honey

Raw honey is a natural sweetener produced by honeybees from the nectar of flowers. It is minimally filtered and unheated, retaining more of its natural enzymes, pollen, and antioxidants compared to processed honey. It is collected from beehives and then bottled.

Manufacturers use raw honey primarily as a natural sweetener in a variety of foods and beverages. Its distinct flavor profile can also contribute to the taste of baked goods, sauces, dressings, and dairy products. It is often found in granola, cereals, and artisanal food items.

Raw honey is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a natural sweetener and contains antioxidants. However, raw honey should not be given to infants under one year of age due to the risk of infant botulism. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated honey, but no specific numeric limits are typically set for its consumption as a food ingredient.
