Buckwheat Honey, Raw Buckwheat Honey

Buckwheat Honey has a dark color, strong flavor and is high in mineral content and antioxidant compounds. If you are planning to buy buckwheat honey for its health-benefits, raw buckwheat honey is what you need. Heating honey (pasteurization) destroys the all of the pollen, live enzymes, propolis, vitamins, amino acids, antioxidants, minerals, and aromatics. Our raw buckwheat honey is the same as it was in the hive.

Buckwheat is neither a grass nor wheat, but is a fruit related to rhubarb and is one of the first crops cultivated in the United States. Dutch colonists brought buckwheat to North America where they planted it along the Hudson River. Buckwheat was sometimes called beechwheat, because its seeds look like small beech nuts. Buckwheat was an important crop in the U.S. until the demand declined in the 1960's. Today, it is primarily grown in Northern states such as New York, which is where our buckwheat apiaries are located.

Buckwheat seeds are also used or making gluten free flour and buckwheat blossoms are an excellent source of nectar and blooming can continue well into the autumn.
