Buckwheat Honey - Food Blog

I recently was at the Valley Hive, a nursery with a gift shop and I acquired my next honey selection. This time I chose Buckwheat Honey. I did not know what to expect with this selection. When I think of buckwheat, I don’t think abundant flowers.

Boy, was I wrong, check out the picture I found of a field of buckwheat plants in bloom. It is a sea of white flowers. I also found out that buckwheat is not a wheat at all, it is related to rhubarb and bees really like it.

The jar of honey that I bought is a very pretty dark gold color. For me the taste was not overly sweet and had a malt essence. The aftertaste lingered as the flavor softened with no bitterness, no sharpness. I can imagine using this honey in cooking, not just sweet, savory (think glazed turkey). It was yummy in my coffee, just adding a hint of honey flavor without too much sweetness but enough to mellow the coffee. I like this honey almost as much as I like the sage honey. Not quite but almost.

Have you tried any new honey lately? Let me know.

Hello my friend @altpotal. I had never read anything about this place and I am surprised that bees really like this type of wheat, which is very particular because you tell us that it is not a common wheat, well if the bees like it, it is because it is a different wheat usual. With regard to honey, it is like you comment, it has a very beautiful color and as you describe its flavor, I am convinced that it is a good honey. Mmm it would be delicious a turkey frosted with this honey, I think of a chicken marinated with this honey and a few leaves of basil, it would be very tasty to try it. I have not tried a honey in the last days, but believe me that if they put me to choose a honey chooses this one that you just show us and if they give me that you choose more, I would say the others that you have published before. Greetings, I hope you find yourself well.

I think eating honey helped me get over my cold, last week.

I'm waiting for you to use honey in some of your recipes, but that would probably not work with low carb.

Very beautiful buckwheat field in the photo. I tried buckwheat honey Buckwheat honey has a special taste - a bit bitter.
Honey is healthy for many people!

Hello friend, I imagine that as a student of the world of bees you will be curious to try honey, and also that honey is usually very tasty, I like how you show us your taste in words, I wish you have an excellent weekend and I thank you very much your support

You are right Buckwheat for me sounds like wheat or grains I do not know but I never imagined that it would be a place full of flowers or rather flowers.

The truth is that I have not tasted any honey for a long time, I've been thinking about some fruit salad with honey @altportal

I saw a buckwheat field just yellow. I did not even know that there were white flowers in buckwheat. Buckwheat honey should be more dark color, than a linden tree. Good luck on travel!

The truth is that I do not know buckwheat but when reading it it sounded like some wheat you are right but now I see that it is not that interesting, every day we learn something new, I like honey here is very natural they sell it in naturist houses, best regards @altportal

Hmm honey ❤
