FAQ
What is acacia honey?
Acacia honey is a light, mild, floral honey made by bees from acacia blossoms. Organic Mandya acacia honey is pure and raw, sourced from forest beekeeping, with a delicate taste and naturally slow crystallisation.
Why is acacia honey slow to crystallise?
Acacia honey is high in fructose and low in pollen, so it stays liquid and clear far longer than most honeys and is slow to turn grainy or solid.
Is acacia honey raw and pure?
Yes. Organic Mandya acacia honey is raw and unprocessed, with nothing added and no sugar syrup, so it keeps its natural enzymes, aroma, and antioxidants.
What does acacia honey taste like?
It has a light, clear colour and a mild, delicately sweet, floral flavour, which makes it one of the most versatile honeys for tea, drinks, and everyday use.
What are the benefits of acacia honey?
As a raw honey, it is a natural source of antioxidants and is gentler and milder than darker honeys. It works well as a daily natural sweetener in place of refined sugar.
How do I use acacia honey?
Use it to sweeten tea, coffee, milk, yoghurt, and smoothies, drizzle it over breakfast or desserts, or take a spoonful on its own. Its mild taste does not overpower other flavours.
Can I add honey to hot drinks?
You can stir it into warm drinks, but avoid boiling it, as very high heat can reduce the natural enzymes and aroma of raw honey. Add it once the drink has cooled slightly.
Is honey safe for young children?
Honey is a natural food for older children and adults, but it should never be given to babies under one year of age. Check with your doctor if you are unsure.
How should I store acacia honey?
Store it at room temperature in a closed jar away from direct sunlight, and use a clean, dry spoon. It does not need refrigeration and keeps well for a long time.
Does pure honey crystallise, and is that bad?
Acacia honey crystallises very slowly, but all pure honey can crystallise over time, which is a natural sign of real honey. If it sets, warm the jar gently in warm water to return it to liquid.
