Product description
Sumo Organic honey is a certified product that comes from bees foraging exclusively on flowers grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers. Organic beekeepers must follow strict standards that prioritize environmental responsibility and bee welfare. The honey is often minimally processed to preserve its natural nutrients, enzymes, and antioxidants.
Key highlights
- Antioxidant-rich. Organic honey, especially in its raw form, is a strong source of antioxidants, including flavonoids and phenolic acids. These compounds help protect the body from oxidative stress caused by free radicals, which can contribute to aging and chronic diseases.
- Pesticide-free. Organic certification ensures that the bees' foraging areas are free from synthetic pesticides and other harmful chemical residues, offering a cleaner and safer product for consumption.
- Supports gut health. Raw organic honey is a natural prebiotic, containing beneficial microorganisms that promote the growth of good bacteria in the gut, which can aid digestion.
- Preserved nutrients. Often minimally processed, raw organic honey retains beneficial enzymes, vitamins (like B6, thiamin, and niacin), and minerals (like calcium, iron, and magnesium), which are often destroyed by the pasteurization and filtration of conventional honey.
- Antimicrobial properties. Like all honey, organic honey has natural antimicrobial and antibacterial properties that can help soothe sore throats, aid in wound healing when applied topically, and combat infections.
- Supports sustainable beekeeping. Choosing organic honey encourages environmentally responsible practices that prioritize bee health and promote biodiversity.
- Helps manage blood sugar. While it is still a sugar and should be consumed in moderation, honey has a lower glycemic index than table sugar. The antioxidants in honey can help protect against metabolic issues.
- Soothes coughs. Studies have shown that honey can be more effective than some common cough medicines at suppressing coughs in children over the age of one.
