Raw Wisconsin Honey

Raw Wisconsin Honey is a natural sweetener produced by honeybees from the nectar of flowers, specifically in the state of Wisconsin. It is minimally filtered and unheated, retaining more of its natural enzymes, pollen, and antioxidants compared to processed honey. Bees collect nectar and transform it into honey through a process of evaporation and enzyme addition.

Manufacturers add honey primarily as a natural sweetener and flavor enhancer in a wide variety of foods and beverages. It provides a distinct flavor profile and moisture to baked goods, sauces, and marinades. It is also commonly found in teas, yogurts, and breakfast cereals.

Honey is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a natural source of sugars, primarily fructose and glucose. While often promoted for health benefits, scientific evidence supporting specific medicinal claims is mixed and requires more research. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends limiting intake of free sugars, including those from honey, as part of a healthy diet.
