Raspberry Fields Farm Blog Honey: Mother Natures Natural Preservative

Honey is well-know for its anti-microbial properties that make it a highly stable preservative. It helps decrease moisture content; hence water activity is reduced as well, preventing bacterial growth. Better yet, it's a delicious, natural food preservative. We use honey to make a roux and coat the ingredients in our artisan granola ensuring a fresh, delicious, shelf stable product.
