Greek Raw, Organic Forest & Thyme Honey, 800g, glass jar:

Organic honey, however, retains the pollen which is packed with protein and amino acids, making it both delicious and filled with goodness.

Our Greek Raw Organic Forest & Thyme Honey is a rich, aromatic treat with a host of health benefits. Bee nectar offers a low glycemic index (GI), which is essential for good health and nutrition, and is a superior alternative for refined sugar due to its glucose and fructose content.

It is also an ergogenic aid that can boost athletic performance and help with muscle recuperation, as well as facilitate fat burning when taken with warm water.

Including organic honey in our daily diet provides us with a variety of benefits including weight control, allergies, improved immunity against conditions such as cancer and heart disease, and healthier skin when combined with milk. 

All of these great qualities are lost with the removal of bee pollen, which is the case for regular honey sold commercially. Greek Raw Organic Forest & Thyme Honey originates directly from the Greek plains and mountains and retains all of these nutritional benefits. With the beautiful infusion of thyme, we have created this tasty, nutrient-packed delicacy that you can enjoy every day.
