Our take
CleanPlate reviewRaw wild forest honey is about 80% sugar
Anveshan Raw Wild Forest Honey is a 275 g jar of raw honey heated to 45 degrees C, the only ingredient. The only panel is printed per 21 g tablespoon and converted here to per 100 g.
CleanPlate scores it EB4. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 g. The B for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by raw honey), and almost no additives. The 4 for risk comes mainly from free sugar (79.5 g per 100 g) and calories (319 kcal per 100 g).
