Description

Buckwheat honey is extracted from buckwheat flowers, and is packed with more vitamins and antioxidants than other honey varieties. Its production requires bees to labor for longer, as buckwheat has only small flowers. It offers a unique flavor since it is less sweet than traditional honey.

Interestingly, buckwheat is not a grass but a type of fruit closely related to rhubarb. Its deep purple to black hue gives it a mildly reddish tint, which originates in the hue of the buckwheat flowers. Consequently, buckwheat honey is not only naturally healthy, but also delicious.
