What makes our organic raw honey special
What raw honey means for your kitchen
Raw honey is honey in its most natural state, exactly as the bees created it. Unlike processed honey, our organic strained raw honey is never subjected to high-heat pasteurization that destroys beneficial enzymes and subtle flavor compounds. We use minimal straining to remove only wax particles, ensuring you receive honey with its full spectrum of naturally occurring pollen, propolis traces, and antioxidants.
The 700 g jar size is designed for regular household use, providing enough honey for several weeks of daily enjoyment while maintaining peak freshness. Because raw honey contains live enzymes and maintains its original moisture content, it may crystallize over time—this is actually a sign of quality, not spoilage. Simply place the jar in warm water for a few minutes to restore the smooth, pourable consistency.
Organic certification and sourcing
Great Value Organic Strained Raw Honey carries the USDA Organic seal, which requires rigorous third-party verification at every step. Our partner apiaries maintain certified organic status by ensuring bees forage within designated pesticide-free zones, typically three miles or more from conventional agriculture.
The organic certification process for honey is particularly demanding because inspectors must verify not only the apiary practices but also the surrounding foraging environment. Our beekeepers work with certified organic farms and wildflower meadows, creating a sustainable ecosystem that benefits both honey production and local pollinator populations. Each batch is traced from hive to jar, with documentation confirming organic integrity throughout processing.
Culinary uses and recipe ideas
Everyday sweetening
Our organic raw honey is a versatile natural sweetener that works beautifully in both hot and cold applications. Stir a spoonful into your morning coffee or tea, where it dissolves smoothly and adds depth beyond simple sweetness. The complex floral notes complement green tea, chamomile, and black tea varieties equally well.
Drizzle raw honey over Greek yogurt, oatmeal, or fresh fruit for a nutritious breakfast boost. The thick, golden consistency clings to foods without running, making it ideal for toast, biscuits, and pancakes. Unlike refined sugar, raw honey brings trace minerals and a nuanced flavor that enhances rather than overwhelms other ingredients.

Questions about Great Value Organic Strained Raw Honey
The 700 refers to the net weight of honey in the jar—700 grams, which equals approximately 24.7 ounces. This size provides roughly 35 one-tablespoon servings, making it ideal for regular household use. The 700 g format is a standard metric measurement that helps you compare quantities across different honey products.
Yes, our organic raw honey is never heated above the natural temperature found inside a beehive, which is around 95°F. This preserves the naturally occurring enzymes, pollen, and beneficial compounds that are destroyed in conventionally pasteurized honey. We use gentle straining to remove only wax particles, keeping all the nutritional components intact.
The USDA Organic certification requires documentation at every processing step, so you can trust that our raw honey maintains its integrity from hive to jar.
Crystallization is a natural process that happens when glucose in honey forms solid crystals. Raw honey crystallizes faster than processed honey because it contains pollen particles that act as nucleation points. This is actually a sign of quality and doesn’t affect safety or nutritional value.
To return your 700 g jar to liquid form, place it in a bowl of warm water (not boiling) for 10-15 minutes. You can also microwave at 50% power in 10-second intervals, stirring between cycles. Keep temperatures below 110°F to preserve beneficial enzymes.
Absolutely. Great Value Organic Strained Raw Honey works beautifully in both baking and cooking applications. When baking, substitute honey for sugar using a 3:4 ratio and reduce other liquid ingredients by about 1/4 cup per cup of honey used. Lower your oven temperature by 25°F since honey causes baked goods to brown faster.
For marinades, glazes, and salad dressings, raw honey adds natural sweetness and helps ingredients emulsify. The complex floral notes enhance savory dishes without overwhelming other flavors.
Straining removes large particles like wax and propolis chunks using a coarse mesh, while preserving pollen and other beneficial micro-particles. Filtering uses fine mesh or even ultrafiltration to remove almost everything except liquid honey, including pollen. Our strained raw honey keeps the good stuff in while taking out only what you wouldn’t want to encounter on your spoon.
Many commercial honeys are both heated and ultra-filtered to prevent crystallization and create crystal-clear appearance, but this removes most of what makes honey nutritionally interesting.
Store your honey in a cool, dry pantry away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep the lid tightly sealed between uses to prevent moisture absorption. Ideal storage temperature is 50-70°F, though honey remains safe across a wider range.
Properly stored raw honey has an indefinite shelf life and never spoils. Don’t refrigerate honey—cold temperatures accelerate crystallization. The squeeze-top design on our 700 g jar helps maintain freshness by minimizing air exposure.
Our organic raw honey is safe for children over 12 months and adults. Never feed honey—raw or processed—to infants under one year old due to the risk of infant botulism. Their digestive systems aren’t mature enough to handle bacterial spores that can be present in all honey.
If you have pollen allergies, start with small amounts to assess your tolerance. While raw honey is a natural product, it’s still a concentrated sugar source, so consume it in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
