 Raw Buckwheat Honey From Minnesota

Experience the distinctive character of our Raw Buckwheat Honey from Minnesota. With its deep color, thick texture, and bold flavor, Buckwheat Honey is very different from lighter honey varieties.

Our Buckwheat Honey is available in a 2.9-pound glass quart jar and a 6-pound plastic half-gallon container.

What Does Buckwheat Honey Taste Like?

Buckwheat Honey has a strong, distinctive flavor that is often described as earthy, malty, robust, or similar to molasses. The flavor is considerably more pronounced than the mild sweetness of many light honey varieties.

Its deep amber to dark brown color and thick texture are also characteristic of Buckwheat Honey. The exact color and flavor can vary from harvest to harvest depending on the nectar collected by the bees and the conditions during the season.

This pronounced flavor makes Buckwheat Honey particularly enjoyable when you want the honey itself to stand out. It pairs well with hearty breads, cheeses, oatmeal, yogurt, tea, baked goods, sauces, and marinades.

From Minnesota Hive to Jar

This  Raw Buckwheat Honey is harvested from honeybees in Minnesota and minimally processed after the honey harvest. We take care to preserve the natural character of the honey rather than heavily processing it into a standardized light table honey.

Buckwheat honey gets its distinctive character from the nectar collected from buckwheat blossoms. The resulting honey can vary naturally in color, texture, and flavor from one harvest to another, making each crop a reflection of the season and the forage available to the bees.

How to Store Raw Buckwheat Honey

Store raw honey at room temperature in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Refrigeration is not necessary and can encourage honey to crystallize more quickly.

Because this honey is raw and unheated, it may arrive liquid, partially crystallized, or fully crystallized depending on storage temperature and seasonal conditions. Natural crystallization is normal and does not mean the honey has gone bad.

Buckwheat Honey may crystallize sooner or more noticeably than some other honey varieties depending on its natural composition and storage conditions. Crystallized honey is still perfectly usable and can be enjoyed in its thicker form or gently returned to a more liquid consistency.

If you prefer liquid honey, place the container in warm water and allow the honey to gently loosen. Avoid microwaving or overheating raw honey, as excessive heat can affect the natural characteristics of the honey.
