Japanese Knotweed Honey *Fall*

A local specialty honey that is harvested once a year. It produces a unique dark, reddish honey from the tiny white flowers. Knotweed is related to buckwheat, they share the rich, dark, sweet, and malty taste. Knotweed is high in the antioxidant Resveratrol (found in red wine) so it tastes good AND is good for you! This dark antioxidant rich honey is a peace-offering from the invasive perennial Japanese Knotweed plant. However, the upside of this plant is that it is a plentiful & nutritious food source for the bees right before they head into Winter. The flavor stands apart from our spring honey having a more mineral profile (almost like Molasses). This is a go-to honey for customers looking for the most medicinal immune boosting honey produced in the Northeast. It’s also an excellent choice for those who are looking for something less sweet, as sweeteners go.
