description

In August 2019, this honey was awarded a One-Star Great Taste Award by the UK Guild of Fine Food.

"Gooey, like toasted marshmallows!" are the words customers use to describe this exciting new thick creamy white honey from Mexico.

It comes from bees feeding on the white mesquite trees that litter the 6000ft high plains of the Mexican Plateau in Aguascalientes state of central Mexico.

Known as the "tree of life," Native American tribes have considered it a superfood for centuries to promote health and vitality. They use every part of the tree for food, healing, fabric, and flour.

Pods of the mesquite tree have properties that regulate blood sugar, promote fat burning, and smooth digestion.

Wild mesquite trees are only found in Mexico and the southwestern United States.

This honey has an 84% lab-tested purity mesquite pollen count.

The judges who awarded this honey a One-Star Great Taste Award described it as:

"A thick, creamy set honey with a bright, fruity aroma. The smokiness of mesquite is quite intriguing, adding balance to the sweetness without catching in the back of the throat. A complex product that could work well as an accompaniment to sweet and savoury food."

Read on for more details about the origin, taste, and uses of this set honey.

origin

The Mexican Plateau is a region of 6000ft high plains that cover most of northern and central Mexico.

Wild mesquite trees fill the horizon of these arid desert plains. They grow from 8-20m high and bear pod-like fruits.

Bees feed on the nectar from the pods to produce our Raw Organic White Velvet Mesquite Honey.

Once a year, local beekeepers from the Gomez family harvest this honey so we can bring it to your table straight from the hive, raw, living, and unfiltered.

uses

In accordance with EU directive 1924/2006, we are unable to make any health claims about our honeys. The information below is either background information about the plants from which our honey comes or anecdotal, based on customer reviews. It should not be inferred that this honey automatically possesses the same qualities or benefits as the plant.

84% of this honey comes from bees feeding on mesquite trees, a plant with an astonishing number of uses. Native American tribes have used it for centuries as a superfood and natural sweetener to promote health and vitality. They utilize every part of the tree for food, healing, fabric, and flour.

The mesquite plant has a low glycemic index (GI) of 25, meaning it slowly releases sugar into the bloodstream, making it suitable for diabetics, subject to the advice of a qualified medical practitioner. Low GI foods promote fat burning. The mesquite plant is also free of fructose, meaning that no insulin is required to digest it.

Mesquite contains the following compounds in high amounts:

Quercetin - several scientific studies show that quercetin has properties that may help manage the symptoms of Type 2 diabetes.
Serotonin - regulates mood and calms the mind.
Apigenin - known to repair and protect damaged kidneys.
Calcium and magnesium - promotes bone health.
Zinc - promotes fertility and strengthens immunity.
Mesquite makes an excellent marinade for barbecued meats due to its natural smoky flavor.

This honey can be used like ordinary honey but is best taken as a teaspoon mixed into a glass of cool or warm (not hot) water and drunk three times a day on an empty stomach.
