Know Your Honey
Most Honey in Stores Is Not Real Honey
Here is something most people do not know: the majority of honey sold in American grocery stores has been ultra-filtered, heated, blended with cheaper syrups, or imported from countries with questionable quality standards. By the time it reaches the shelf, it has lost most of what makes honey beneficial.
Real honey, true raw honey, is a living food. It contains pollen, enzymes, antioxidants, and beneficial compounds that are destroyed by commercial processing. When honey is heated to speed up bottling, those fragile compounds break down. When it is ultra-filtered, the pollen is removed, making it impossible to trace its origin.
Local Florida honey tastes different because it is different. Our bees forage on mangrove, palmetto, saw palmetto, Brazilian pepper, and dozens of other Florida wildflowers. That unique terroir gives our honey flavor profiles you simply cannot get from a mass-produced bottle.
