Common questions

Is Raw honey healthy?

Raw honey scores 28/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in Raw honey?

Raw honey lists 14 ingredients, starting with Niacin, Riboflavin, Pantothenic Acid, Calcium and Copper. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Raw honey contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Raw honey’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is Raw honey?

Raw honey is NOVA group 4: ultra-processed. That is the top of the scale and the classification the score penalises most heavily.
