I have always thought that raw honey was luxurious, then and though I understand the reason for the cost, it was something that I was always aware of. The price did not prevent me from purchasing the honey because I think that honey has some good health benefits, then it is an antibacterial agent, it’s rich in antioxidants, may improve heart health, may help with the symptoms of a cold, and so much more. So, of course, it is beneficial to purchase honey just for the benefits alone… Even though I know the raw honey that I purchase from the farmer’s market is luxurious, there is another honey on the market that is 3 times or more luxurious than the honey that I buy on a regular basis. This honey comes from another country, and it has higher levels of antibacterial, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties than the local honey that I buy, then plus, this honey is rare and accounts for 1% of the honey produced each year. Additionally, it can only be found in this 1 area of the world. Also, the honey is actually hard to harvest because there is only a 2 to 6 week window where the plant that it is harvested from blooms. So, with all these benefits and difficulty in producing this honey, it makes sense that it is the most luxurious honey on the market. Personally, I won’t be purchasing that honey any time soon, even though I will spend the extra money to purchase raw locally grown honey at our neighborhood farmer’s market.
