What is Raw Honey
The honey which is brought to you without any processing and adulteration after extracting it from the heives of the honeybee is called raw honey. Any kind of processing or adulteration is not involved in raw honey due to which it is called the purest form of honey. Some people also know it as natural honey, pure honey, sealed honey.
Benefits of Raw Honey
The benefits of raw honey can be understood from the simple fact that every Ayurvedic text mentions it. These texts explain in detail the types of illnesses in which it is useful, how to use it, and what it should be combined with.

It has so much potential that it can cure all your diseases from small to big, you should just know about its benefits, let us tell you some amazing benefits of raw honey which you definitely would not have known before

Raw honey side effects
Whatever is there in this world has its own benefits and side effects, the same thing applies to raw honey as well. Raw honey can increase blood sugar, so do not consume it without asking a doctor and don’t give it to children below 1 year of age due to the risk of botulism. Before consuming raw honey, you must inspect this thing. that your raw honey should not have the nectar of any such flower which is poisonous because the bee travels from 1km to 2km and then by collecting the nectar of more than 1 lakh flowers it makes 1 kg of honey, so there are high chances of this thing that if there is any poisonous flower tree in that range, its nectar can also be present in your honey and One more thing that you must check before consuming raw honey is that the beekeeper is not feeding the bees to increase the production of honey because this is the biggest scam in the name of raw honey and lastly if you have allergies due to bee products then do not consume it without consulting a doctor.
Raw honey shelf life
Raw honey never expire, its proof is found in pyramids of Egypt when researchers ffound there 3000 years old honey , which was eatable even after 3000 years but then the question arises if the honey does not expire, then why is it written on the labels use it before 12 months or 24 months. This happens because after a certain time natural changes start occurring in honey like its texture and colour start changing, which happens naturally, that is why you get to see on the label that you should consume it within 12 months or 24 months, otherwise changes will start occurring in it.
How We extract Raw Honey
Whenever we extract honey, we always keep a few things in mind which is also our specialty
- The beehives should be completely sealed from the (wax) moam layer
- And 1 week before extracting the honey, our team ensures regularly that the bee is not being given any kind of sugar syrups
- And when the honey is extracted, our team is there and in front of them the wax layer is removed and then it is extracted all this process happens in front of our team
- In the last stage, after straining it with a cotton cloth, we directly fill it in the Madhuveda jar, which gives you the world’s purest honey, straining process happens to remove unwanted particles like small particles of heives.
Difference between raw honey and sealed honey
There is no difference between raw honey and sealed honey, the only difference is of honesty and integrity. Many honey brands call themself raw honey even after heating it. They even offer moneyback guarantee to build trust, if someone finds them adulterated, they are running this scam in the name of raw honey. Due to this scam, people start thinking that raw honey does not exist and raw honey is known as sealed honey in our village. Therefore, we have marketed ourselves in the name of sealed honey so that people do not associate Madhuveda honey with the adulteration and heating process and we ensure in our Madhuveda sealed honey that no preservatives, artificial colour, sweeteners are added. There should not be any kind of harm to the baby bee, it should not be heated, we only provide 100% pure sealed honey and we also want to provide only sealed honey because we believe in quality over quantity.
Raw honey or manuka honey
There are some big differences between manuka and raw honey, like manuka is the name of a tree whose honey is made from the nectar of its flowers, and is known by the name of manuka honey, just like tulsi honey, litchi honey is found in India, similarly manuka honey is found in new zealand and australia because manuka tree is found only in these 2 countries, and raw honey shows its quality, it can be compared with honey of any flora, like manuka raw honey, tulsi raw honey, in which manuka and tulsi indicate that it is made from the nectar of the flowers of this tree or plant, and similarly raw honey indicates its purity.
What parameters should we check before buying raw honey
Raw honey means real honey, so you should check all those things which make you feel that it is pure. If you do not know what all should be checked, then how should you check it so that you can ensure that it is 100% pure raw honey, then you can check it in 2 stages
- Know about brand history
If you are buying honey, then first find out how the brand of honey you are buying is extracting the honey, after that you should see that after extraction the honey is not being heated or not because today 90% of the raw honey in the market is claimed to be 100% pure but it is heated, try to check if people have put its reviews on social media to know how it is, these reviews should not be on the official website or on the official social media of that honey brand, and search whether sugar syrup or corn syrup has been added to it and also see whether any preservatives or chemicals are mixed in it, to change the texture and colour.
- Purity and quality test at home
You can also check the honey at your home to see it is pure or not, don’t worry, I am not going to tell you such method which everyone tells you, like put it in to water, it went down then it’s pure otherwise it’s impure, or heat it, if it’s catching fire then it’s pure otherwise it’s impure whatever I will tell you that will be different than others and apart from this there are some other methods which you can follow.
put some drop of the raw honey in a white cloth and wash it after it dries. If it remains color, it is not pure. If it is not remains color, it is pure.
Place the honey on the floor of your house and burn it. If a cracking sound is heard, it means that raw honey contains more water. This honey has been extracted before it is sealed. If a cracking sound is not heard, it is pure.
After mixing water in honey and making it thin, add some drops of water and iodine solution in the ratio of 10:3. If the color does not change then it is pure, if it changes to red or purple then it is impure.
Uses of Raw Honey
There are so many uses of raw honey, like it is used in skin care & in your kitchen and also in your Ayurvedic medicine. Nowadays people use it more as a natural sweetener, I have mentioned some uses below which will definitely help you.

like this there are thousands of uses and benefits of honey which looks unreal here are some more.
How to Store Raw Honey
If honey is stored properly, the most special thing about raw honey is that it never gets spoiled. You can guess this from the fact that 3000 years old honey was found in the pyramids of Egypt and it still did not get spoiled. Let’s see how you can store it so that its self life increases.
- Do not let honey come in contact with water.
Always keep honey in a glass jar.
Do not keep it in direct sunlight or in the freezer.
- And do not heat it after it crystallise.
Raw honey price
The price of raw honey depends on different flora and their quantity. For example, if you want honey from such flora whose production is less, then the price of that raw honey will be higher in comparison with that flora whose production is more. But normally, the price of 1 kg of raw honey in India ranges from Rs. 1k to Rs. 1.5k . If you deal in bulk, then this price reduces by 50% to up to 70%.
