STAKICH Pure Michigan Raw Honey

Our Raw Honey is uncooked and unfiltered. Because of this, all of its enzymes, vitamins and minerals are kept intact. It also contains some bee pollen, propolis and beeswax. This means that all of its original nutrients are fully preserved. Stakich Raw Honey has a distinctively rich taste and is highly prized for its flavor. It’s pure, raw state provides a maximum level of natural antioxidants and healing agents.

Our bee hives are kept in unsprayed fields where honey bees collect nectar from wild flowers. Our Raw Honey is organically produced without the use of herbicides or pesticides resulting in a pure, great tasting honey.

Raw Honey is extracted from the bee hives by spinning honeycomb in a centrifugal extractor. Honey is bottled and packaged immediately after extraction in order to preserve and seal in its fine flavor. All of the utensils, extractors and bottling equipment are made of stainless steel and steam cleaned after each application.

Honey is a unique, organic, instant energy building food. It is treasure chest of fructose, glucose and maltose, a powerful antioxidant containing many essential minerals necessary for life including vitamins, amino acids and enzymes. These nutrients get absorbed into the blood stream within fifteen minutes making honey an excellent choice for any exercise or weight loss plan.

Raw Honey is the oldest sweetener known to man and makes for an excellent sugar substitute. It has been used as medicine for millennia and is still used in prescriptions for the common cold. The high concentration of natural carbohydrates gives honey a germ-killing power which is why it’s been used for thousands of years to encourage wound healing. Honey's thick, sticky consistency also makes it a natural protective salve, sealing out infection and creating a moist healing environment within.

Raw Honey is a terrific moisturizer for the face and body as well. It’s a natural hygroscopic property enables it to draw 'free water' from interior tissues to the surface layers of the skin. This subtle fluid shift creates a plumping effect that temporarily improves the appearance of wrinkles.

As for the age-fighting effects, Raw Honey contains effective antioxidants that appear to block skin-cell damaging free radicals. The dark honey--particularly the buckwheat contains the most antioxidant power.

Raw Honey should be stored in a closed jar at room temperature. No refrigeration is required. Changes in temperature won’t spoil honey but may affect its texture. As long as other foods don’t get into the jar, honey is remarkably long-lived and will not spoil. Raw Honey crystallizes naturally over time. You can use it as a spread, or simply liquefy it by setting the jar in a bowl of warm water.

Stakich Raw Honey is a great food which promotes good health. Try our honey and rediscover the magic that bees make.
