There are numerous benefits to raw honey. You may ask, what is raw honey?! It is pure, unheated, unpasteurized and unprocessed item. True raw honey is different from the commercial types, it contains higher levels of natural vitamins, enzymes, phytonutrients and so much more. The texture is either a liquid or solid form. The characteristics are normally opaque, milky and colors range from white to yellow to even brownish tone. This mostly depends upon the type of flower where the nectar came from.
