FOREST HONEY

Description

Forest honey is a dark, complex, and unprocessed honey collected by bees from wild forest vegetation, including tree flowers and honeydew, rather than cultivated crops. It has a rich, earthy, and woody flavor with a slightly bitter taste, higher levels of minerals and antioxidants, and may offer health benefits like immune support and improved digestion. Because it’s not heavily processed, raw forest honey retains its natural enzymes, vitamins, and healing compounds.
 

What Makes Forest Honey Unique
