Raw Honey: Frequently Asked Questions
What is raw honey?
Raw honey is extracted from the honeycomb taken directly from the beehive and strained to remove bee fragments and beeswax particles before bottling.
This retains natural enzymes, yeast, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, bee pollen, aromatics, and propolis.
What is the difference between raw honey and honey?
Regular honey is heated and filtered, which destroys natural enzymes, yeast, vitamins, amino acids, antioxidants, bee pollen, aromatics, and propolis, changing its flavor and texture.
Raw honey is extracted from the honeycomb, strained, and bottled.

- High in Antioxidants: Raw honey contains beneficial botanical compounds, such as flavonoids and phenolic acids, that act as antioxidants to protect the body from free-radical-induced cell damage.
- Antifungal and Antibacterial Properties: Raw honey can suppress bacterial adhesion and anchorage, slowing the infection, making it an antimicrobial that kills bacteria
- Helps Healing Wound: Applied to body surfaces, raw honey can sterilize wounds, decrease inflammation, help tissue repair, and lessen scarring from burns and lesions.
- Suppresses Coughs: Raw honey is widely recognized as a natural, effective cough suppressant and provides relief for sore throats.
- Promotes Digestive Health: Raw honey helps ease many gastrointestinal distress symptoms, including diarrhea, and is known to promote the growth of gut microbiota.
- Natural Sweetener: The enzymes, yeast, vitamins, amino acids, antioxidants, and minerals found in raw honey provide more nutritional value than refined sugar.

Here are a few words about Mohawk Valley Trading Company raw honey from one of the world’s most renowned chefs Tom Colicchio:
“If you’re looking for really great honey, here’s my first piece of advice to you: You’re unlikely to find it in a plastic squeeze bottle shaped like a bear.
My second piece of advice: Try these raw honeys from Mohawk Valley Trading Company. Raw honey is unfiltered, unheated and totally unprocessed, and contains all of the same pollen, enzymes, vitamins, antioxidants, minerals, aromatics, and amino acids that it had while still in the hive. I’m told that raw honey has all kinds of health benefits, but I love it because I think it tastes exactly as honey should and has a wonderful, spreadable consistency and a slightly crunchy, substantial texture.”
Not only do we use raw honeys from Mohawk Valley Trading Company at Craftbar, ’wichcraft and Colicchio & Sons, but I keep a jar of the stuff on my desk at all times.”
