Berry honey, also known as Sidar honey, is a distinctive and exotic variety of honey harvested from the nectar of wild berries. The unique Pahadi Honey captures the essence and vitality of fresh, wild berries, offering a rich and nuanced taste profile that is both indulgent and refreshing.

Nutritionally, Raw Berry Honey is a treasure trove of vitamins and minerals. It exhibits potent anti-inflammatory properties, making it not just a delightful sweetener but also a beneficial addition to a health-conscious lifestyle.

Harvested from the serene and pristine upper Himalayan ranges at altitudes exceeding 5000 feet, Berry honey embodies the purity and untouched beauty of its environment. The dual-origin honey is meticulously extracted from the nectars of Robinia pseudoacacia (Black Locust) and Trachyspermum ammi (Ajwain), blending their distinct flavors to create a honey that is both complex and harmonious.

The production of Berry honey is facilitated by the industrious Apis Mellifera, the Western honeybee, known for its role in pollinating a diverse array of flora, thereby contributing to the biodiversity and ecological balance of the region. The honey is sourced with care from the verdant valleys of Jammu and Kashmir, a region celebrated for its rich flora and natural heritage.

Health Benefits of Pahadi Berry Honey

Berry honey is known for its exceptional health benefits. It is noted for its abundance of minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants, surpassing other honey types in these aspects. Have a look:

• Immune System Support: Berry honey is packed with nutrients that help boost the body's natural immunity and offers a therapeutic potential against various ailments​​.

• Allergy and Respiratory Benefits: It can mitigate allergic reactions by exposing the body to small amounts of bee pollen, which may enhance immune tolerance. It's also found to be effective against respiratory issues like sore throats and coughs​​​​.

• Antioxidant Rich: Wild berry honey is loaded with antioxidants, which combat oxidative stress and may reduce the risk of chronic diseases. These antioxidants also support skin health, reducing inflammation and improving skin tone​​​​.

• Digestive Health: By reducing inflammation, berry honey can alleviate symptoms of digestive distress, promote gut bacterial balance, and enhance nutrient uptake efficiency​​.

• Energy Boosting: Due to its high carbohydrate and mineral content, it is an excellent natural energy booster which provides a more sustained energy release compared to refined sugars​​.

• Weight Management and Heart Health: Honey, being sweeter than sugar, can be used in smaller amounts to achieve the same level of sweetness, potentially aiding in weight management. Its antioxidant properties are also beneficial for heart health, as it may reduce triglycerides and improve cholesterol levels​​.

• Wound Healing: Wild berry honey's antimicrobial properties make it a useful topical treatment for minor cuts and wounds which can speed up the healing process​​.

• Nutrient-Rich for Pregnancy and Postpartum: Particularly beneficial for pregnant and postpartum women, berry honey offers a wealth of nutrients essential for fetal health and recovery after childbirth. It also aids in the healing of surgical wounds, including those from cesarean sections​​.

When integrating wild berry honey into your diet, remember that its characteristics can vary depending on the specific flowers the bees have foraged from. 

Pahadi Amrut's berry honey from Jammu and Kashmir is special because it's made from the nectar of two plants, Black Locust and Ajwain. This gives the honey powerful antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral benefits. Plus, it has a unique flavor and offers various health advantages which make it a great choice for those looking to improve their diet.

Storage Recommendation 

Store tightly sealed jar of honey in cool, dry, and dark locations. Do not put it in the refrigerator.

Crystallization of Honey 

Crystallization of raw honey is a natural process and depends primarily upon the climatic conditions & ratio of natural sugars present in different varieties of honey. Raw honey crystallizes more in low-temperature zones.

De-crystallization

Placing the jar of honey in a pot of mild hot water or in direct sunlight for some time will melt the crystals and turn it liquid again.

Wax & Pollen 

As we filter our honey traditionally at the source, you may see very few traces of wax or bee pollen in the honey.
