Scottish Heather Honey
Raw honey with many health benefits - similar to Manuka honey!
Sourced from bees that gather nectar from the blooming heather plants in the Scottish moorlands and highlands, this honey is a true testament to the unique flavours and healing properties that nature has to offer.
This honey is harvested in August, with hues ranging from dark yellow to reddish-brown, and possesses a unique jelly-like texture that requires it to be squeezed out of combs. With a slightly bitter taste and a thick, syrupy consistency, Heather Honey is highly valued for its unique flavour and healing properties.
Notably, Scottish Heather Honey shares similar health benefits to Manuka Honey, another popular honey variety. This is because both types of honey contain high levels of methylglyoxal, a natural compound known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. These properties can help to support the immune system, aid in wound healing, and provide relief from coughs and colds.
But the benefits of our honey go beyond just its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. In fact, this honey is packed with nutrients that can help to support overall health and well-being. For example, Heather Honey is a rich source of manganese, a mineral that plays a role in protecting tissues from damage and supporting the metabolism of nutrients. It also helps to maintain healthy bones, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking to support their skeletal health.
In addition to its high antioxidant qualities and manganese content, Heather Honey has been shown to have a range of other health benefits. It works as a natural laxative, improves memory, and has anti-carcinogenic properties that help to prevent several types of cancer. It can also help to combat seasonal flu, allergies, fever, cold, and sore throat.
But perhaps one of the best things about Heather Honey is its unique, characteristic taste. With its slightly bitter flavour and thick, syrupy texture, Heather Honey is a delicious addition to a wide range of foods and beverages. It can be enjoyed on its own, added to porridge or yoghurt, or used as a natural sweetener in tea or coffee.
