The phytonutrients in honey are responsible for its antioxidant properties and its antibacterial and antifungal power. They're also thought to be why raw honey has shown immune-boosting and anticancer benefits. Heavy processing destroys these valuable nutrients. Raw honey is better for health, taste, bees and the environment. Organic honey ensures you avoid contact with pesticides that may be sprayed on or near the plants visited by honeybees.
