If you enjoy an extra touch of sweetness in your morning cup of tea and often find yourself reaching for the honey \u2014 you\u2019re not alone. In 2020, Americans\u2019 preferred sweetener was honey, beating out granulated white sugar for the first time in five years (1<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After years of being bombarded by tons of different hidden pseudo-names for added sugar and just as many unfamiliar artificial sweeteners, many of us have found ourselves reaching for natural sweeteners like honey to get our sweet-tooth fix. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem is, with all the different honey certifications out there, it can be hard to discern which labels are relevant to you. \u201cRaw\u201d, \u201cunfiltered\u201d, \u201cpure\u201d, and of course, \u201corganic\u201d are just a few of the claims that might make your head spin trying to figure out the difference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most important distinction to make, however, is between raw and organic honey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u200b\u200bRaw or unfiltered honey is a variation of honey that\u2019s usually produced by small farms and left in its natural state without undergoing processing typical of most processed kinds of honey, like heat treatment or filtration (2<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organic honey is more focused on the processes involved in the whole of honey production. Organic honey is concerned with its ecological effects and encourages the use of good agricultural practices to maintain balance and diversity in the agricultural ecosystem. The label \u201corganic\u201d on honey is meant to distinguish products that promote the sustainable use of natural resources, preservation of the environment, animal welfare, and human health (3<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the initial panic you may feel facing honey in the grocery store, we\u2019ve compiled a list of 9 of the best organic honey brands you can buy that will help satisfy your cravings and help you not sweat the sweet stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
