At The Hellenic Deli, we’re committed to
supplying only the freshest, most nutritious raw honey. Our Greek raw honey is
unfiltered and unpasteurised — for a more complex and satisfying flavour
profile.
Through the ages, people have used raw honey
for its various health benefits. Straight from the honeycomb, Greek raw honey
is packed with essential nutrients. And although it doesn’t go through
purification processes such as pasteurisation and filtering, it’s still safe to
consume.
The pasteurisation and filtering processes
remove many of its most beneficial nutrients. That’s why we only stock the
purest raw honey, cultivated in Greece.
The Ancient Greeks and Romans knew that raw
honey possessed significant health-related properties. That’s why they used it
for cooking and the creation of medicines. The most impressive benefits of raw
honey include:
●
Antioxidants (for reversing cell
damage)
●
Antibacterial properties
●
Anti-inflammatory properties
●
Wound-healing properties
There’s a reason why raw honey is used in many
throat and cough remedies — it works! It provides a coating on the throat that
soothes pain and reduces irritation. Raw honey has also been shown to alleviate
the symptoms of diarrhoea.
Greek raw honey is considered to be one of the
best in the world. Bees pollinate specific flowers to make it — giving it
