HONEYDEW HONEY

Description

Honeydew is a sugary substance secreted by some insects (aphids, scale insects, psyllids, etc.) that feed on the sap of trees, in particular spruce, pine, oak, lime and maple. It is very rich in substances deriving from tree sap, such as mineral salts and sugars and represents a useful source of nourishment for bees. Once this precious sugary substance has been collected, the bees introduce it into the hive and transform it into honey

Honeydew honey has a very dark color, sometimes almost black, and has a very dense consistency that does not crystallize. The flavor is less sweet than that of nectar honeys and has a particular earthy and bark aftertaste, sweet and bitter at the same time

Pairings: Thanks to the high content of iron, potassium, magnesium and manganese, honeydew honey is very useful as a natural supplement of mineral salts and trace minerals, and is often recommended to athletes, easily assimilated by the body and immediately available: we recommend dissolve one or two tablespoons in half a liter of water with the juice of half a lemon.

To appreciate its digestive tonic properties, you can enjoy it with natural yogurt, or on a slice of toast, in drinks or with a cup of cereal in the morning.
