Now available while the limited stocks last. Honeydew Honey Swedish: honungsdagg eller bladhonung, bladlushonung, lushonung Honeydew honey is relatively unknown however it is one of the most unique, most intriguing and exotic honeys in the world. Honeydew honey (also known as forest honey) comes from aphids which eat the sap on the bark for protein building blocks, amino acids and then secrete sugar-like substance on the trees which sparkles in the sunlight, hence the name "honeydew". The bees love the honeydew and feed on it to culminate into an absolutely spectacular and 100% organic end product, making it uniquely different from regular honey made from the flower blossom nectar most of us know. Honeydew honey is highly prized by those that know it, but still relatively unknown. However it is believed that with the increasing number of clinical studies in the recent years, this honey could one day be the next hot health food with a prominent standing just like Manuka honey. Given the prevalence of aphids world-wide, it may not be surprising to learn that much blossom honey from around the world contains some percentage of honeydew honey. Honeydew is chemically different from regular blossom honey. It is usually darker with a higher mineral content, and has with a stronger taste and particular nutritional / therapeutic benefits. Honeydew honey comes in many varieties depending upon the type of plant and the species of aphid. Our Honeydew comes from Spruce trees. Gran honungsdagg eller Gran bladhonung, Gran lushonung Characteristics: Color: Dark amber, sometimes with reddish veins. Aroma: Smoke, caramel, cooked, malted, panna cotta, resinous, a little balsamic Taste: Medium intensity, slightly sweet and persistent. What is the difference between blossom honey and honeydew honey? While the composition of honeydew honey varies by the type of insect and plant, just as the composition of blossom honey varies by the type of blossom, there are some common differences. In general, honeydew honey is higher in minerals and amino acids as well as higher molecular weight sugars (oligosaccharides) in particular, melezitose and raffinose. Oligosaccharides are prebiotics that have a beneficial effect on bacteria in the digestive system. It tends to be darker, less sweet, less acidic and resists crystallization when compared to honey. Honeydew honey has higher electrical conductivity and ash content and tends to remain liquid and resist crystallization because of high fructose and low glucose levels, as well as a low glucose to water ratio. There has been some research that indicates that honeydew honey also has higher than average antibiotic properties due to higher levels of Glucose Oxidase which leads to the production of Hydrogen Peroxide. Translations: French: Le miel de forêt or Les miellats; German: Waldhonig or Honigtau Honig; Italian: Miele di bosco or Miele di melata; Spain: Miel de mielada or Miel Forestal Swedish: honungsdagg eller bladhonung, bladlushonung, lushonung. #taghonungsdagg eller #tagbladhonung, #tagbladlushonung, #taglushonung #tagHoneydew
