Buckwheat Honey

Buckwheat honey is a very sweet honey that is pungent in flavor with molasses and malty tones and a lingering aftertaste. Darker honey tends to be higher in antioxidant compounds and mineral content on average than lighter ones. The buckwheat plant is an excellent honey source, sometimes planted by beekeepers specifically for honey production. The blossoms are rich in nectar and blooming can continue into the fall.
