Forest Honey

Forest honey is a type of natural honey collected by bees from the nectar of wildflowers, herbs, and trees that grow in dense forests, rather than from cultivated farmlands.

Characteristics of Forest Honey

• Source: Comes from wild plants, medicinal herbs, and trees in forest areas.

• Taste: Usually richer, stronger, and sometimes less sweet compared to regular farmed honey.

• Color: Often darker (amber to brown) because it contains more minerals.

• Aroma: Earthy, woody, and herbal notes depending on the forest flora.

Health Benefits

• Rich in antioxidants, minerals, and enzymes.

• Known for antibacterial and antifungal properties.

• Supports digestion and immunity.

• Traditionally used for respiratory health (cough, cold, sore throat).

How It Differs from Regular Honey

• Forest honey → Raw, wild, multi-floral, from natural forests.

• Commercial/farm honey → Often from mono-floral crops (like mustard, sunflower, eucalyptus) grown in fields.
