Key Benefits of Raw Buckwheat Honey
More Antioxidants & Nutrients
Raw Buckwheat Honey contains significantly higher levels of antioxidants than traditional honey, helping to combat free radicals, support immune health, and promote overall wellness.
No Artificial Processing
Most commercial table honey is heated and filtered, stripping it of essential enzymes, vitamins, and beneficial compounds. Our raw honey retains all its natural properties, just as the bees created it.
Richer Flavor & Thicker Texture
Table honey is often blended from multiple sources and lacks depth of flavor. Buckwheat honey has a bold, malty taste, a dark amber hue, and a naturally thicker consistency making it a favorite among honey lovers.
Naturally Supports Health & Wellness
While regular honey is primarily used as a sweetener, Raw Buckwheat Honey has been used for centuries as a natural remedy for sore throats, coughs, wound care, and digestive health. Its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties provide added benefits beyond just sweetening.
How to Use Raw Buckwheat Honey
Raw Buckwheat Honey is a versatile kitchen essential that can be used in both food and holistic remedies.

How to Store and Use Raw Buckwheat Honey
To keep your Raw Buckwheat Honey fresh and full of nutrients, store it in a cool, dry place at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Avoid refrigerating honey, as this can cause it to thicken more quickly. Over time, raw honey may naturally crystallize—this is a sign of its purity and does not affect its quality. If you prefer a smoother texture, gently warm the jar in a bowl of warm water, stirring occasionally until it returns to a liquid state. Avoid microwaving or using high heat, as excessive temperatures can destroy the beneficial enzymes and antioxidants that make raw honey so valuable.
Frequently Asked Questions About Raw Buckwheat Honey
What makes Raw Buckwheat Honey different from regular table honey? 
Raw Buckwheat Honey differs significantly from the processed honey found in most grocery stores. Unlike table honey, which is often filtered, pasteurized, and blended from multiple sources, our raw buckwheat honey is unfiltered, unheated, and unprocessed, preserving all of its natural enzymes, antioxidants, and beneficial compounds. It has a dark color, rich molasses-like flavor, and a thicker consistency, making it an excellent choice for those looking for a healthier and more nutrient-dense alternative.
Additionally, buckwheat honey is known for its high antioxidant content, making it one of the most beneficial honeys for immune support and overall well-being. Unlike the mild sweetness of clover honey, buckwheat honey offers a bold, earthy taste that pairs well with both savory and sweet dishes.
How should I store Raw Buckwheat Honey?
To preserve the quality of raw buckwheat honey, store it in a cool, dry place at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. There’s no need to refrigerate it, as honey has natural preservative properties that prevent spoilage. If your honey crystallizes over time, it is completely normal and a sign that it is pure and unprocessed. To return it to a liquid state, place the jar in a warm water bath (not boiling water) and stir gently. Avoid microwaving or applying direct heat, as this can damage the natural enzymes and antioxidants present in raw honey.
What should I do if my honey crystallizes?
Crystallization is a natural process that occurs in raw, unfiltered honey over time. Unlike processed honey, which is heated and filtered to delay crystallization, our honey retains all of its natural enzymes, antioxidants, and medicinal properties—meaning it may eventually solidify. This is a sign of purity, not spoilage.
If you prefer your honey in liquid form, avoid using a microwave, direct stovetop heat, or boiling water, as temperatures above 130°F can break down honey’s natural nutrients. At 145°F, honey caramelizes and loses its beneficial properties.
To gently liquefy your honey:
- Heat water to around 135°F, then turn off the heat and remove the pot from the burner.
- Place the container of honey in the warm water, ensuring the water level does not cover the neck or lid.
- Cover with a towel and let the honey slowly warm and return to its liquid state.
Important Safety Note: Never place a closed container of honey in boiling water, the microwave, or the oven, as it can cause the container to explode due to trapped pressure. Crystallized honey is perfectly safe to eat and can also be used in its solid form—try spreading it on toast or stirring it into warm beverages for a rich, flavorful experience!
Can I use Raw Buckwheat Honey for cooking and baking?
Absolutely! Raw Buckwheat Honey is a great natural sweetener and can be used in a variety of culinary applications. Its bold, molasses-like flavor pairs well with savory dishes, marinades, salad dressings, and even barbecue sauces. It also works well as a substitute for sugar in baking, though it may slightly alter the texture and moisture of baked goods due to its thick consistency. To substitute, use ¾ cup of honey for every 1 cup of sugar, and reduce other liquids in the recipe slightly. It’s also fantastic drizzled over yogurt, oatmeal, or pancakes for a richer, more complex sweetness.
Where is your Raw Buckwheat Honey sourced from?
Our raw buckwheat honey is sustainably harvested in Minnesota, USA, where local beekeepers ensure high-quality, ethically produced honey. Unlike mass-produced commercial honey, which is often imported and blended from various sources, our honey is single-source, meaning it comes directly from Minnesota buckwheat fields, ensuring purity and traceability. By supporting local beekeeping, we help preserve pollinator populations and maintain ethical, eco-friendly honey production.
Is Raw Buckwheat Honey safe for children?
Raw honey is not recommended for infants under 12 months old, as it may contain naturally occurring bacteria spores that can be harmful to babies' developing digestive systems. However, for children over one year of age, raw buckwheat honey is a great natural remedy for coughs, sore throats, and immune support. It’s a much healthier alternative to processed sugar and can be used to sweeten food and drinks in moderation.
