Why raw matters
Raw honey is never heated or finely filtered, so it keeps its natural enzymes, pollen and aroma. Heating honey for clear, runny bottles can strip some of that away.
Seven everyday uses
- 1Warm water, lemon and honey first thing in the morning.
- 2A spoon to soothe a scratchy throat (honey is a well-known home remedy for coughs in children over one year).
- 3Sweeten tea and qehwa instead of sugar (add when slightly cooled).
- 4Drizzle over oats, yoghurt or parathas.
- 5Mix into salad dressings and marinades.
- 6A natural energy boost before exercise.
- 7A gentle face mask: a thin layer for 10 minutes, then rinse.
Never give honey to babies under one year old.
