Ohio Buckwheat Honey

Buckwheat Honey

This honey is from Ohio. Nothing is added as it gets its flavor from the bees while collecting nectar from the buckwheat plant.

This buckwheat honey is coming from a 600 acres field of organically grown buckwheat for seed. The seed is sold to Japan to be made into noodles.  It is as pure as you can get!  It has a wonderful, earthy, molasses flavor with hints of malt and earth.

Also, it can have a musky, clay-like, nutty, or chocolatey taste. Some say it has a little bit of spice. This is a DARK Buckwheat honey – sometimes it can be a lighter color.

Recently, scientists have started testing and comparing other types of honey, specifically Buckwheat Honey which is also dark and high in antioxidants.  Researchers at Brock University showed that buckwheat honey had strong antibacterial effects against antibiotic-resistance bacterial.

In a separate study comparing Buckwheat Honey with Manuka, scientist found that Buckwheat honey had greater antioxidant activity than Manuka, and exhibited equivalent antibacterial activity against the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
