Raw Honey has been used as a plant-based medicine for millennia ...and has been a mainstay for my family for 4 generations. Providing a wide variety of medicinal and health benefits, raw honey is one of nature’s super-foods. But raw honey is VERY different from the average “honey bear” honey you get in your local store, and that honey is processed so much that most of its benefits are sucked out. The local news knows the secret, and it's starting to spread through all of California! True Gold Honey is quickly spreading out from its source point in Lindsey, CA to the rest of the United States.

Most of the honey you find in grocery stores is pasteurized,

We constantly monitor our hives, ensuring they are healthy, strong and safe, so our bees can focus on the important work of pollinating and making honey. We harvest our honey by hand to keep it as raw and pure as possible, using sustainable practices to reduce waste and keep our impact on the earth to a minimum. All so you can enjoy honey that bursts with local flavor and has all its natural benefits intact. And what are those benefits you might ask?

Well, raw honey is...

1. A Reliable Source of Antioxidants

Raw Honey is filled with plant chemicals that act as antioxidants. Antioxidants are one of your body's many defenses against cell damage due to free radicals.

Contributing to the aging process, free radicals may also aid in the development of chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease. Research shows that polyphenols, one of the antioxidants commonly found in honey can play a role in negating heart disease.

2. Full of Antibacterial and Antifungal Properties

Naturally containing hydrogen peroxide (an antiseptic), raw honey has been used to kill unwanted bacteria and fungus for ages. Its effectiveness depends on the varietal of honey, but its recent research has shown that it is a reliable natural remedy. Since the honey is edible, it is even used in a large number of US hospitals!

3. Used to Heal Wounds

Used in medical settings to treat wounds, honey is an effective germ killer and also aids in tissue regeneration.

Studies show that honey can boost healing time and reduce infection. Disclaimer though: honey used in hospital settings is medical grade, meaning it’s been inspected and certified sterile. It is not the best idea to treat wounds with processed honey.

4. Full of Phytonutrients

Nutritional compounds found in plants that help protect the plant from harm, Phytonutrients are a plant's built-in defense system.

The phytonutrients in honey are responsible for its antioxidant properties, as well as its antibacterial and anti-fungal power. They’re also thought to be the reason raw honey has shown immune-boosting and anticancer benefits. Keep in mind, heavy processing destroys these valuable nutrients, so it’s ALWAYS better to buy raw.

5. A Digestive Helper

Honey is a well-known prebiotic, meaning it nourishes the good bacteria that live in the intestines, which are crucial not only for digestion but overall health.

Additionally, it’s also been proven to be effective as a treatment for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacteria, a common cause of stomach ulcers.

6. A Soothing Sore Throat Remedy

Feeling under the weather? Try a spoonful of honey. Used as a sore throat remedy for ages, Honey can easily be added to hot tea with lemon when a cold virus hits you.

It also works as a cough suppressant. Research has suggested that honey is as effective as dextromethorphan, a common ingredient in over-the-counter cough medication. Just take one or two teaspoonfuls as is and the natural goodness of honey will be soothing your throat in no time.

From our fields to your table, True Gold Honey delivers the delicious goodness of raw honey without compromising quality like some of the other big brands do.
