Honey is a very valuable and useful product. The most common varieties are lime, acacia, buckwheat, clover and alfalfa. However, there are many more varieties of honey than meets the eye. Let's talk about the most unusual and rare ones.
Instructions
Step 1
The rarest and most unusual variety is tobacco honey. Its color can range from light to dark brown. It is practically not eaten. And all due to the fact that it has a bitter taste, and plus a peculiar smell. Most often, this honey is used to flavor tobacco.
Step 2
Stone honey also belongs to the unusual varieties of honey. Unlike tobacco, it has a pleasant taste and smell. The peculiarity is that it is produced not by simple bees, but by wild ones. It is also distinguished from other varieties by the fact that it is less sticky and is stored for more than one year, but several years! It got its name from the fact that if you evaporate all the moisture from it, it will become solid like a stone.
Step 3
Believe it or not, radioactive honey exists too. It got this name because of the radium content in its composition. Its properties may differ slightly, since it all depends on the plants from which it is made. Such honey is very often used to treat malignant tumors, as well as blue clay.
Step 4
Honeydew honey is one of the healthiest. It differs from other types of honey in that it is not made from flower nectar, but from plant sap, which is processed by insects. It can be identified by its dark color, specific taste and stringiness. Such honey should be eaten by children, as well as by those who suffer from anemia. By the way, it is much more valued than the best flower honey!
