Honey is a unique beekeeping product made from pollen from various plants. It has a lot of nutrients and vitamins necessary for the human body, and helps with various diseases. The composition and appearance of honey is slightly different, depending on which plant pollen it is produced from.
Buckwheat honey
This honey is considered one of the most beneficial. It contains a large amount of iron and protein, many vitamins, useful amino acids and enzymes. It is especially useful for anemia, vitamin deficiency, anemia, scarlet fever, and liver diseases. Buckwheat honey is also recommended for the prevention of heart disease. Its color ranges from dark yellow to brownish black, and the aroma is pungent and spicy. Having tasted buckwheat honey once, it is difficult to confuse it with other varieties of this product.
Acacia honey
Differs in transparency and barely perceptible yellowish tinge, has a pleasant mild sweet taste. When crystallized, it becomes white and grainy. Experts recommend taking acacia honey to strengthen the immune system, for gastrointestinal disorders, kidney and urinary tract diseases. It has a calming effect, so it is useful to add it to the diet for insomnia and nervous disorders.
Linden honey
Has a more intense yellowish color than acacia. And during crystallization it turns into a granular yellowish-amber mass. This honey smells like linden and has a sweet-spicy taste due to its high glucose content. It is used to treat colds, flu, inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract and gynecological diseases, as it has pronounced antibacterial properties.
There are about 60 types of honey in total. Chestnut honey, cotton honey, and fireweed honey are less valuable.
May honey
The sweetest kind of honey. It contains a lot of fructose, which is perfectly absorbed by the body and at the same time does not disrupt the functions of the pancreas, which means it does not develop diabetes. It is recommended as a sedative for atherosclerosis and liver diseases.
Immediately after collection, this honey is a sweet syrup of transparent color, and after a few months it acquires a unique menthol aroma.
Sunflower honey
In a liquid state, it tastes very good, but crystallizes rather quickly and loses its taste. For this reason, it often resembles a surrogate and is sold at a low price. However, in terms of its medicinal properties, it is practically not inferior to May, acacia and linden honey. It can be used as a diuretic as it helps remove waste and toxins from the body. It is useful to use it in case of respiratory diseases or stomach cramps.
