what is the difference between the raw organic honey and the raw honey other than a plastic container and a glass container??

I haven't tried this honey, and I buy organic, but an "organic" label on honey is silly to me. Honey bees can range miles and miles away from their hive, meaning that even if bee keepers are careful of their immediate surroundings, there's absolutely no way to guarantee that a bee hasn't taken nectar from treated crops, or GMO crops. Just something to think about before you spend more on "organic" honey :)

I fid the organic honey just taste better. To me if you can eat it straight out the jar with out a bit to it, then its gotta be good! And it is!

No this is not organic honey. If it were they would certainly advertise it on the jar.

I haven't tasted the non-organic version, I bought it because it is one of the few organic honeys that I could find. I prefer organic whenever possible. It definitely tastes better than other non organic brands.

I have tried this and the Manuka honey that comes in the l7+ounce plastic jar and is a slightly less expensive product. Hands down the Gold Raw Organic is the better honey. It is smoother, creamier and much better tasting as it is a lighter flavor. Since there is very little difference in the price I'll stay with the Gold. I don't think it tastes in the least medicinal.

It is raw....(not stated on the container) but the research I have done on this honey indicates it is raw honey....you will recognize the enormous good the honey does for your body. Highly recommend it.

I am not sure what that means, but it is purely organic. It is solid and melts as you use it. I hope this helps, not sure about raw.

It's raw honey that has been crystallized or "creamed", raw honey will naturally crystallize after about 2 to 3 months. It gives the honey a lighter color, creamier texture, and can even give the honey a sightly sweeter flavor. Even processed and heated honey will crystallize after about year or so, but the crystallization that takes place with processed honey leaves it crunchy and unappealing to me. All honey, even this raw honey start out golden and flowing. Yes, that means your jar of honey from this company is already 2 to 3 months old(or older) at time of purchase, but since honey never really goes bad, that fact doesn't bother me.

No, it does not say raw on the bottle. But, my understanding is - organic means pure, unadulterated - that is, not filtered. One honey I buy at HEB says raw but it is not organic. But this is a good company - they may explain the terms for you since some are used with different definitions.

Hey there! Well firstly, the company is pretty well known by people around the world for the quality of their product. Secondly, the honey is going to be a much darker and thicker. It'll taste a lot different compared to the usual honey somebody can buy off the store, and it is somewhat "gritty". I really like it, and it will be pretty obvious to tell the difference between the two once you receive it!

I believe you can keep raw honey, even the heated kind, indefinitely. Should be stored in cool, dry place. The raw honey is much healthier than the heated honey.

I Don't have any idea. I have other raw honeys that are fine after several years. The one that I'm eating now from Tropical Traditions I've had for at least 4 years before eating.

This product is NOT organic. They do make an organic raw variety that can be bought on Amazon (and it does have the USDA Organic Symbol), but for a higher cost: YS Organic Bee Farms Certified Organic Raw Honey 100% Unprocessed, Unpasteurized - Kosher 32oz 2 Lbs Frustration Free Packaging

Raw honey should last a long time. As far as I know, you do not need to worry about any type of spoilage.

I'm a small scale beekeeper who is responding to the folks below who think liquid honey is not pure or it has been heated. They are incorrect. The purest form of honey is liquid. Honey must be processed (crystallized/creamed) to be solid like this product. If you know what comb honey looks like that is what honey looks like in the hive. If not, google it. Find a beekeeper in your neighborhood and buy from them. Unless you are in a heavy agricultural area with high pesticide use, you can skip organic (usually foreign honey anyway). Most bees forage in tall trees (maple, linden, locust, beech, tulip poplar, etc).

The label states that it comes unprocessed right from the hives. And it's harvestedfrom healthy bees from ECO friendly diverse regions.This is the best honey in my book to a natural taste, not surgery, no crystals forming.I have chronic pain issues and I take a small spoon of honey in the afternoon to boost my energy levels for the rest of my day. I hope this helps you. Have a good evening.

Unheated honey is cloudy as soon as it is extracted. This cloudiness gradually increases day-by-day as the honey thickens, and ultimately raw honey becomes hard, or crystallized.Do not worry, the honey is not ruined, it`s not old. Because honey is super saturated, one of the sugars in it losses water and takes the form of a crystal.You can put jar in warm water to dissolve the crystals, do not heat it,do not kill all the benefits !I use a big spoon to get the honey ;the raw honey and hot green tea make my body and soul happy and healthy!!!!

Almost certainly this honey is raw, unprocessed and uncooked. Cheap honeys are heated in order to get more out of the hive more quickly. If the honey were heated or filtered or processed in any way it would be see-through clear (until it crystallized) and it would have very little hydrogen peroxide activity as that would have evaporated away. The all-important enzyme activity of the honey would also have been denatured, rendering it useless. Manuka honey is an inherently expensive honey, made from manuka flowers, so it is worthwhile to take the time and extra steps to pack it raw, and just like with extra virgin olive oil, to take the extra care (using water-cooled packing machinery) to be sure that no part of it is heated, damaged, or oxidized in any way.
