What\u2019s the difference between raw and regular honey?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Raw honey<\/strong> is not heated or intensely filtered, preserving natural enzymes, pollen and antioxidants. Regular (processed) honey may lose these properties during pasteurisation.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Why is rosemary honey so light in colour?<\/h3>\n<p>Rosemary nectar creates a <strong>very clear, mild honey<\/strong> with a white hue \u2013 a sign of floral purity and spring harvesting.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Is raw honey safe for children?<\/h3>\n<p>Honey should not be given to <strong>children under 1 year old<\/strong>. After this age, it\u2019s safe and raw honey is an excellent, natural choice.<\/p>\n<h3>4. How should I store raw honey?<\/h3>\n<p>Keep it in a <strong>cool, dry place away from direct sunlight<\/strong>. If it crystallises, this is natural.
