Why Honey is a Superfood

Honey is rich in antioxidants—specifically flavonoids and phenolic acids—that combat oxidative stress and inflammation throughout the body. Furthermore, raw honey contains trace amounts of vitamins, minerals, and natural enzymes that provide antibacterial, antimicrobial, and immune-supportive properties. These compounds are responsible for honey's traditional uses in soothing coughs, aiding digestion, and accelerating wound healing, providing benefits that go far beyond simple sweetness.

Why Supermarket Brands Should Be Avoided

Many supermarket honey brands should be avoided because the intensive processing they undergo severely diminishes or eliminates these natural health benefits. They are typically pasteurized (heated) and ultra-filtered to prevent crystallization and achieve a clear appearance, a process that destroys beneficial enzymes and removes nutritional pollen. More concerningly, some commercial honeys, especially cheaper imports, have been found to be adulterated—blended with less expensive sweeteners like high-fructose corn syrup—or contaminated with trace amounts of antibiotics or pesticides, making them a nutritionally compromised and potentially impure product.
