Raw unfiltered honey is the key to ultimate nutrition.Raw honey is made from the nectar’s of flowers. Worker bees gather the nectar and place it in their honey sac where it mixes with acid secretions. Bees reduce the moisture content from 40-80% to 18-20% before the cell is sealed and the honey is complete.
