Raw vs. Processed Honey
While there is no official U.S. federal definition of “raw” honey, it generally means honey that has not been heated or filtered. We often see or hear claims that raw honey is more nutritious or better for you, primarily because raw honey may contain small amounts of pollen grains that are often removed during processing or filtering.​

​
Why is Honey Filtered?
​
-
Consumers prefer honey that is liquid and stays liquid for a long time.
-
All honey crystallizes eventually. Suspended particles and fine air bubbles in honey contribute to faster crystallization. Filtering helps delay crystallization, helping the honey to remain liquid for a much longer period than unfiltered honey.
-
Honey is filtered to remove extraneous solids that remain after the initial raw processing by the beekeeper.
-
Honey that is filtered through more traditional methods is still honey, even if pollen has been removed along with other fine particles.

What is honey pollen?
Honey pollen consists of the minuscule grains that naturally mix into honey as bees gather nectar from various flowers. This pollen is not an added ingredient; rather, it's a natural by-product of the honey-making process. Additionally, honey pollen can serve as a valuable tool for identifying the source of the honey, revealing which plants the bees frequented during their foraging
