The Virtues of Lavender Honey
Since ancient times, honey was considered the “Food of the Gods” and was valued not only as a natural sweetener but also as a true remedy, by virtue of its components. Recommended in children’s diets for its easy digestibility and its ability to strengthen their natural immune defenses and promote their muscular development; essential in the diet of the elderly and the sick, and anyone requiring immediate energy necessary for physical activity.
It contains iron, manganese, and other minerals, making it very useful for anemic or inappetent individuals. The sugars that compose honey are mostly simple sugars (fructose and glucose), more easily digestible and natural sources of energy for our body. This makes honey a preferable food compared to white sugar, which we commonly use.
Crystallization
Crystallizes naturally with cold, generally with fine crystals.
Flavor
Delicate and aromatic, enchanting and fruity, it does not present the characteristic scent of the plant, reminiscent of the taste of ripe fig, muscat grape, peach tea, and passion fruit.
Color
From straw yellow to amber.
