It is easy to distinguish between the types of flower honey - they are named after the plant from which it is collected. The most common varieties in our region are: flower, linden, buckwheat, acacia, clover and alfalfa. Alfalfa honey, for example, has a mild flavor and aroma; has a light golden color; can be quite watery. Clover honey is even lighter - in the light it may seem almost colorless; Clover honey has an unobtrusive, interesting aroma and taste. Clover honey is collected mainly from white clover.

Linden honey is legendary. It is recognized as one of the best varieties in the world due to a whole bunch of its advantages. Firstly, it has an unforgettable taste and aroma, which, by the way, will vary somewhat depending on the type of linden and the place where it grows. Secondly, the medicinal qualities of linden honey cannot be immediately listed - it is also the first remedy for various colds, a wound-healing, strengthening and anti-inflammatory agent. The color of linden honey is not only white, but also golden, sometimes with a green tint. When it crystallizes, it becomes creamy.

Another legend is acacia honey. Like linden, it is very widely popular because of its taste, and is also used throughout folk medicine. It is considered very useful for children and is used to treat diseases of the genitourinary system. For anemia, it is recommended to use buckwheat honey. It has a reddish hue ranging from golden red to brown. It is superior to most types of honey due to its abundance of vitamins.

In general, flower honey can also be divided into meadow and forest honey. Meadow honey is lighter in color and its range of aromas differs from forest honey. Meadow honey is first-grade honey (lower grades are produced using a different technology); has a golden color, its main components are: thyme, clover, thyme, sage, alfalfa and other herbs. Forest honey is mainly produced from nectar collected by bees from bushes, including: blackberry, hawthorn, rowan. Forest honey also contains herbs and trees. The range of colors of forest honey is wide: from almost transparent golden to thick dark brown.

Flower honey often contains some percentage of honeydew, that is, honey that is obtained from the processed nectar of other insects (honeydew). Honeydew honey is mixed with forest varieties and helps create a special flavor. By the way, some types of forest honey can be dangerous to humans. They are also called drunken honey or poisonous honey; in appearance they differ little from ordinary honey. This substance causes something like food poisoning, but does not cause serious harm to the body. Based on the final result, honey can be divided into filtered, unfiltered, honeycomb and artificial. Comb honey is especially labor-intensive, because the cells need to be secured so that they do not break during transportation. The so-called artificial honey is a product of bees when they are specially fed with sugar or honey from the previous harvest. Its value characteristics are much lower than those of ordinary honey that has been filtered.

Therefore, today we will talk about the types, varieties of honey and its medicinal properties.

Honey classification

Types of honey. There are three types of honey: mixed, flower, honeydew.
Flower honey is classified according to its composition: monofloral and polyfloral.

Monofloral flower honey is processed by bees from the nectar of flowers of one plant variety (white acacia, sunflower, linden, buckwheat). Absolutely monofloral honey varieties are rarely found. Polyfloral is made from flower nectar collected by honey bees from various plants. Polyfloral varieties: meadow, forest, mountain, fruit, steppe.

Honeydew honey is produced by bees in dry summers from the excrement of insects (bugs, psyllids, aphids), i.e. not from nectar, but can also be obtained from the nectar of sugary plant substances (honeydews). In the first case, honeydew honey is obtained from animal origin, in the second - from plant origin. Honeydew was known about in ancient times; it was valued on a par with honey. Modern chemical analysis has shown that honeydew contains more minerals than honey. But its bactericidal properties are low.

The varieties differ in taste, aroma, composition, and color. But most importantly, each type of honey has certain medicinal and beneficial properties. Light honey is easier to digest, making it more suitable for nutrition and treatment of children. Dark varieties have high medicinal qualities, which have a strong effect due to the large amount of mineral salts. These varieties are suitable for the treatment of many chronic diseases due to the content of copper, manganese, and iron.
