This raw honey is 100% unheated, unprocessed and unfiltered so that all of its health giving attributes are preserved in full. Raw honey is actually a great source of energy, and it has the added benefit of not turning into "fat" as white sugar does. In fact, honey-water solutions are used by many athletes instead of the typical salty, mineral, sports drinks as a way to increase energy instantly. Honey is also the only natural sweetener that does not have to go through a refinement process. This delicious raw honey comes from the fertile fields and orchards of Michigan and serves as a great miracle food, providing instant energy that also contains plenty of essential minerals and vitamins of the B complex family. In addition, raw honey also contains lots of amino acids, enzymes and even an antibacterial agent that functions like penicillin killing microbes and other germs. This is one of the reasons why raw honey is called the elixir of life.
