Buckwheat honey is a dark, nutrient-rich honey produced by bees that collect nectar from buckwheat blossoms. Due to the small size of buckwheat flowers, bees must forage extensively, resulting in a honey with a deep, full-bodied flavor and an enhanced nutritional profile. This honey typically ranges in color from reddish amber to nearly black and features a robust, malty taste that is less sweet than conventional honey varieties.
