BENEFITS OF OUR ALL-NATURAL INGREDIENTS: 

Raw Honey – Honey alone is a superfood. There are 26 amino acids in honey. It is an antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antiseptic. Honey also contains flavonoids and phenolic acids. In Ayurveda, honey is used internally and externally. It is used for treatment of eye diseases, for cough, excessive thirst, mucous reduction, diabetes, obesity, burns, asthma and much more.

 At Roots and Ritual, we do not “farm” our bees for honey. We practice natural beekeeping, choosing to leave the majority of honey & pollen for our bees to thrive on. We rescue and rehome bees from all over central Florida.

The very act of working our hives yields enough honey to create our small-batch superfoods. Our honey is very bee-friendly for our bee-gan friends.
