Buckwheat is typically used as a cover crop as a nitrogen fixer for soil It’s actually a fruit that’s part of the rhubarb family, rather than a wheat! This buckwheat honey is the only harvest that does not come from my local apiary - I get this from the Ohio Amish community in the fall.

The small white blooms of buckwheat contain a very dark nectar, that is easily distinguishable from wildflower nectar The color ranges from dark amber to purple (swipe to see the jar in sunlight)
Buckwheat honey tends to have a bold, earthy, malty, molasses type of flavor profile - This tastes very unique when eaten raw and is packed full of benefits:
 
Buckwheat honey has a higher antioxidant effect than its’ rival (Manuka honey)
Buckwheat honey has the same antibacterial properties as Manuka “medicinal” honey
