Description: What makes this honey unlike other honey! The definition of wildflower explains why you can't pin down the defining qualities of wildflower honey: Wildflower: The flower of a plant that generally grows in fields, forests, etc., without deliberate cultivation.In other words, there's no specific genus or family for wildflowers; they're any flower that grows on its own in the wild – so there's no predicting exactly what wildflower honey will look or taste. When they're pollinating wildflowers, the nectar collected by bees almost always comes from several different species; it might come from New York fireweed or California poppies, but also the goldenrod that grows right next to them. The honey is called "polyfloral" for that reason since it comes from a variety of nectar sources. There's another vital phrase in the definition of the wildflower: "without deliberate cultivation." That means beekeepers and honey producers don't plant a field full of wildflowers. The flowers grow naturally, so there's no way that uniformity can be guaranteed in the honey that's made. Many producers make an effort to standardize the wildflower honey they sell, so it's common for them to mix honey from several different sources or areas of the United States during bottling to develop a more consistent product. You'll still notice the variations in batches, however. Your best chance at getting a uniform quality over time is to buy from local sources like farm stands rather than in a grocery store (if they even have wildflower honey in stock). Local honey is much less likely to be "blended." One final reason why the color and flavor of wildflower honey varies so wildly (please pardon the pun) is that different plants flower at different times of the year. So the nectar collected by honey bees in May is likely to come from entirely different wildflowers than the nectar the bees gather in September. Even so, some characteristics describe most harvests of wildflower honey. We'll do our best to narrow them down, along with the uses and benefits of this popular variety. General Qualities of Wildflower Honey The easiest way to describe wildflower honey is that it will be light and fruity most of the time. In general terms, honey harvested later in the season (late summer and fall) will be a bit stronger in taste and darker in color, simply because of the varieties of wildflowers that grow when it's warmer. Spring and early summer batches are more likely to be lighter in both taste and color. Perhaps the best way to describe this honey is that it's somewhat similar but a bit stronger than two other types of honey known for being fruity and light, clover honey and orange blossom honey. You know by now, though, that there's no natural way to predict exactly what an individual jar of wildflower honey will taste. The comparison with clover and orange blossom does give a good indication of the best uses of wildflower honey. It's ideal for cooking or baking (general rule for baking: substitute ½ to ¾ cup of honey for each cup of sugar) since its light taste won't "drown out" the other ingredients. This honey is an ideal sweetener for tea, delicious when mixed with fruits to make smoothies, and is one of the best honey for simply drizzling onto your choice of breakfast foods. The nutrition facts for wildflower honey are similar to the numbers for most other varieties of honey. The Department of Agriculture reports that the honey's natural sugars are about 17 grams of carbohydrates in each tablespoon and around 65 calories. There are trace elements of various minerals and vitamins, but nothing special to note. Benefits of Wildflower Honey Wildflower honey is a powerful skin moisturizer and can even help your allergies get better. Not only that, but it can be a natural alternative to processed cane and beet sugar. Nutritional BenefitsIt contains nutrients, minerals, and enzymes that improve digestion, raise metabolic rates, and antioxidants to help you fight inflammation. It has trace amounts of glucose oxidase, catalase, ascorbic acid, flavonoids, and selenium. Not only do these components support a healthy lifestyle but, unlike sugar, honey helps your body digest it. Improves Coughs Honey can be used to improve coughs. Unlike dextromethorphan, honey has no side effects, risks of abuse and may be more effective. In a study of 105 children, the American Family Physician found that honey had a tremendous improvement compared to placebo and dextromethorphan groups. Wild Flower Honey Skin Benefits Honey is a powerful skin moisturizer making it an excellent solution to dry skin. It will lead to a radiant appearance. It can also help your body get rid of scarring and burns because it's anti-inflammatory. Raw Wildflower Honey For Allergies Raw honey of any variety is excellent for allergies. Why? Because raw honey has pollen that usually is responsible for environmental allergies. However, raw honey doesn't have enough to make you sick! It's safe to eat, even when you have seasonal allergies. But the same amount of pollen that raw honey does have will help desensitize your body to those allergies. Raw wildflower honey may be the best for allergies! Wildflower honey has a wide variety of different pollens. It is an advantage most honey will never have. However, this gives you a tiny bit of exposure to several allergens at once. It seems to have natural anti-histamine properties, which may provide most of honey's seasonal allergy relief. Wildflower Honey Color Unlike most kinds of honey, wildflower honey doesn't look orange or brown. It usually has a much more yellow color with, sometimes, light brown undertones. However, several beekeepers will make a blend of wildflower honey.They will use honey from all over the place to make a uniform flavor. Unfortunately, this gets rid of the honey's natural, excellent color. It usually results in darker honey than what Allison's Apiaries make. Wildflower Honey Taste and Fragrance Wildflower honey is very sweet, light-colored with a lightly floral flavor. It is one of the mildest flavors in any honey. Because of that, it is one of the best honey for honey butter, glazes, and toppings.
