Healing Honey Varieties
The pedigree of Honey does not concern the Bee.
A Clover, any time, to him, Is Aristocracy.

During my travels from state to state like a roving honey bee in search of a safe haven, I ended up in Eugene, Oregon. I recall one evening in the company of a nature-oriented couple who lived in a cozy house for two. The woman was an inspiration to me: Her indoor garden with a plant light, two kittens, music, and memorable tea collection amazed me. Her knowledge of each tea and how it was healing left me in awe. It was like a foreign language introduced to me that I had to learn.
When I tasted a cup of sage tea with its slightly medicinal flavor, honey came to my rescue. I knew that night that I aspired to have what she did: an all-natural, eco-friendly home amid nature and a pantry full of nature's finest, from teas to other superfoods. I craved to have the medicinal teas and honey varietals, like she did, so I could feast on them like a queen bee contented in her hive.
Still not at peace and feeling alone, I packed up my knapsack and headed north to Portland, Oregon. I found a studio apartment. I took a waitress jobâswing and graveyard shifts and often back to back, like a honey bee working double shifts.
It was a sweet experience to have my own place in Portland. During the rainy days I'd bake bread and fruitcakes with a hint of honey. At night I'd serve food to the night owls. On my breaks I'd sip black tea with honey to help get through the shiftâbusy at midnight till 2:00
A.M.
, and then through the lull until breakfast full of fresh food, such as waffles and pancakes, that could have been paired with honey. The fact was, I was a human honey bee working 24 / 7 and preparing to find a new comfort zone.

Honey bees work around the nationâat home or on the road like I was doing. The warm climate of some states and of countries south of the equator allows honey bees to do their magic nearly year-round, while in colder regions the workers must cozy up in their hives during wintertime. The aroma, flavor, and color of a particular honey type are all about the type of flower from which the bee collects the nectar. Some honey shows traits of the herb or tree whose flower the bee has visited.
HONEY FLAVORS
Here, take a look at
30
popular honey varietals that I've tasted and enjoyed (thanks to dozens of honey companies). Keep in mind, polyfloral honey is made from more than one type of flower. Monofloral honey is made from one specific typeâlike single-origin dark chocolateâand is in demand by both beekeepers and other consumers.

Monofloral honey is made from one specific typeâlike single-origin dark chocolateâand is in demand by both beekeepers and other consumers.
There are more than 300 unique types of honey available in the United States, each coming from a different floral source. The rule is, the flavor of lighter-color honeys is milder and the flavor of darkercolored honeys is stronger. Beekeepers and people in the honey industry will also tell you that honeys with the most powerful antioxidant properties are believed to be Illinois buckwheat, California sunflower, and Hawaii Christmas berryâthe dark-colored honeys that have a stronger flavor. Still, I admit that the lighter honeys are easy on the palate and the darker honeys are an acquired taste, much like dark chocolate.
These days, the flavor classifications are as follows: pleasant flavor (one that appeals to most people), acceptable flavor (one that is acceptable, though not universally appealing), unpleasant flavor (one that is acceptable to most people although not everyone's fancy), and offensive flavor (one that is not palatable by any human).

Aroma of honey is a lot like flavor and these two characteristics are something to write home about for honey loversâoccasional and everyday users. The aroma of honey is described by honey authors to beekeepers by three simple words: “strong,” “mild,” and “weak.” And personally, I love mild honeys, such as a delicate wildflower, but I am also getting used to strong honeys like buckwheat.

Â
ACACIA
(
Robinia pseudoacacia
): Acacia honey (which sits in a beautiful fluted bottle in my pantry) is produced around the world, including the United States and New Zealand. Russian folk healers put acacia honey to work to treat headaches, heart disease, insomnia, kidney diseases, and respiratory ailments.
Best Blends:
Pour over fresh peaches, dates, and nuts.
My Personal Tasting:
I drizzled acacia honey over Greek honey yogurt, fresh chopped figs, and sliced almonds. This combination surpasses preflavored yogurts with a cat tail's list of artificial ingredients and sweeteners that need a translator.

Â
ALFALFA
(
Medicago sativa
): My first up-close encounter with this mild, sweet honey was when I had some fresh from the hive and put in a nice-sized jar for me. It was a gift from a local Reno, Nevada, beekeeper. The nectar source is a legume with blue flowers, and alfalfa is noted as the most popular honey in Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and the rest of the West. It is known as a versatile honey, and its proponents claim it is used to stave off allergies.
Best Blends:
Paired with cheeses and as a good source for dressings and sauces. It is also used in tea and is a perfect table honey.
My Personal Tasting:
I used this common honey on a slice of local garlic whole-grain bread from Truckee, California. It has a slightly spicy flavor, a sierra, earthy delight. It is a good feeling to eat fresh, local food.

Â
AVOCADO
(
Persea americana
): Another western honey I befriended is found on California's avocado trees, in avocado blossoms. It's a good source of vitamins and minerals.
Best Blends:
This dark-colored honey boasts a buttery taste that works well with cheeses, dressings, and dips and premium ice creamâsuch as dark chocolate.
My Personal Tasting:
I bravely tried this honey on whole-wheat pancakes topped with chopped walnuts. During the hot summer months, I made a cool Greek yogurt dip with this honey for raw cruciferous vegetables.

Â
BASSWOOD
(
Tilia americana
): Not a western delight but another American honey found from Alabama to Texas and southern Canada. Basswood honey, coming from the basswood tree, is also called lime and linden honey, with a white amber color. It's a warm honey with a spicy kick.
Best Blends:
Cheese, fruit, honey mustards.
My Personal Tasting:
My first taste of basswood was stirred in plain yogurt. It was the first unopened honey jar I grabbed out of the pantry, and it won't be the last time I use this earthy delight. It reminds me of autumnâwarm and savory. I also tried all-natural wheat crackers spread with goat cheese with a bit of honey on topâa superhealthful snack on a cool, crisp fall day with a crackling fire and a film on TV.

Â
BLACKBERRY
(
Rubus fruticosus
): Produced in the United States, blackberry honey has a rich berry flavor with notes of blackberry that remind me of the berries I once picked. The nectar source is wild blackberries that are found in the northwestern Pacific statesâOregon and Washington.
Best Blends:
Fruit, yogurt.
My Personal Tasting:
I enjoyed this fruity honey mixed in a bowl of granola with milk as well as on a blackberry shortcake made with whole-wheat biscuits and fresh blackberries.

Â
BLACK LOCUST
(
Robinia pseudoacacia
): Sweeter and lighter than basswood honey, this mild and pure honey is a pleasant surprise. It boasts a high fructose content. The black locust is found in North America, but its sensitivity to cold weather, and blooming in the early spring, allow locust honey to only be available sporadically in the Midwest.
Best Blends:
Paired with coffee, tea, toast, and scones.
My Personal Tasting:
I put a teaspoon in plain yogurt and fruit and was smiling because the name led me to believe it would have a strong flavor. It's a close cousin to light clover honey.

Â
BLUEBERRY
(
Vaccinium spp
): Like blackberry honey, this is another American honey with fruity notes, which comes from the blueberry bush with its tiny white flowers. It is found in the NortheastâNew Englandâand Michigan. The honey bee is integral to blueberry plants for pollination. Blueberries and blueberry honey are rich in antioxidants.
Best Blends:
Put in teas or pour on cheese and fresh berries.
My Personal Tasting:
Just 1 teaspoon of blueberry honey made my cup of hot chamomile tea with a slice of lemon sweet and sassy. And blueberry honey is perfect with homemade blueberryâchocolate chip scones. You get a double dose of antioxidants if you use 60 percent or higher cocoa content dark chocolate. The chocolaty texture in a warmed-up scone is delicious.

Â
BUCKWHEAT
(
Fagopyrum esculentum
): Like the Golden State avocado honey, this dark delight is also grown in California and north in Washington State as well as Minnesota, Virginia, Wisconsin, and eastern Canadaâbut its roots are Asian. Buckwheat honey (its nectar source is the buckwheat plant) boasts more antioxidant power than the others I've notedâand contains iron. It has been touted as one of the most useful healing honeys. Buckwheat has a history with Russian folk healers of being a honey of choice, like acacia and clover honeys. Some of its healing powers include use in treating fevers, high blood pressure, and rheumatism.
Best Blends:
It is used in barbeque sauces and savory baked goods such as gingerbread and ginger snaps or as a syrup for French toast and pancakes.
My Personal Tasting:
I opened up the jar with great curiosity, like lifting the top of Pandora's box. Too timid to try the rich honey, I put it back in the pantry to open up on another day (like in the fall when I bake a batch of chewy molasses cookies with crackled tops sprinkled with raw organic sugar).

Â
CLOVER
(
Trifolium repens
): Welcome to the most common nectarproducing plant of all honeysâfamiliar to most people, unlike basswood or avocado honey. Clover is the honey on the kitchen table for tea or toast. There is a variety of clover honey, with its nectar coming from red, white, alsike, and the white and yellow sweet clover plants. As with acacia honey, Russian folk healers turn to this honey, to treat atherosclerosis and to lower high blood pressure. It can also be used externally on wounds and cuts.
Best Blends:
A hint of this honey can be paired with all foods from glazes to teas, because it's a friendly and mild honey like the daisy flower.
My Personal Tasting:
I had no qualms with this all-too-familiar all-purpose honey with a mild, sweet flavor. Without hesitation I put a teaspoon in a cup of homemade lemonade and it was perfect without surprises or diving into the unknown. Clover honey is like a bite of a dark milk chocolate truffle or bar. It's the friendly honey. It's a friendly honey like a daisy is a friendly flowerâone that is simple and perfect for every occasion.

CRANBERRY
(
Vaccinium macrocarpon
): This fruity honey is a more exotic honey than common clover honey. Its pleasant, tart, fruity honey nectar stems from cranberry bogs, found from Wisconsin to Oregon. It boasts immune-boosting vitamin C.
Best Blends:
It is a supermatch with Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day, and other holiday dishes, including scones, poultry, and breads.
My Personal Tasting:
I tried a cranberry honey jelly that was delectable by the spoonful and on homemade muffins, from corn bread to bran.

Â
EUCALYPTUS
(
Eucalyptus spp
): From a plant grown in the Northeast, this honey is nothing like the cranberry varietal that I favor, especially in colder months. Eucalyptus has a medicinal scent, much like the essential oil or leaves. The nectar source is a tree with fragrant flowers.
Best Blends:
Pair with citrusy salad dressings and glazes for poultry.
My Personal Tasting:
This is one honey I have not tried, but I'd be most apt to team it with lemon and use it with a baked chicken breast.

FIREWEED
(
Epilobium angustifolium
): Because of its name, I assumed fireweed honey would have a strong flavor, but I was pleasantly surprised. This honey comes from a perennial herb and is found in Canada and the Pacific Northwest of the United States. Somewhat like basswood, fireweed honey is light in color, “water white,” and boasts a fruity, spicy, and sweet flavor.
Best Blends:
Mix with tart berries or spread on plain cakes.
My Personal Tasting:
Hungry after an afternoon swim, I grabbed a container of fireweed honey and teamed it with all-natural peanut butter on a piece of whole-grain bread. It wasn't too sweet and it sweetened my day.

GOLDENROD
(
Solidago rigida
): Like clover honey, here is another versatile gem. It comes from the United States and its nectar source is a perennial with golden flowers. It's an amber color with a flowery flavor. This is one honey that attracts people with allergies.
Best Blends:
Goldenrod is a versatile honey and can enhance sweet or savory nut breads (banana to zucchini) and cheeses.
My Personal Tasting:
As a scone lover, I have baked dropped, circle, and triangle-shaped scones with every nut and fruit imaginable. I paired goldenrod honey with apple walnut scones and it gave the scones a spicy kick.

HAWAIIAN CHRISTMAS BERRY
(
Schinus terebinthifolius
): Hail to another antioxidant-rich honey that is one to write home about. A healthful dark-colored honey that is derived from the Christmas berry shrub with roots in Brazil and found in Hawaii. Research at the University of Illinois showed that this honey boasts antioxidants like buckwheat honey.
Best Blends:
It is a nice addition to rich cookies and cakes.
My Personal Tasting:
Its strong flavor was best put to use by adding this honey to a batch of homemade molasses cookies sprinkled with organic sugar.

Honeydew Honey
Blossom honey or nectar honey comes from flowers and other plants and is the most popular honey. Honeydew honey, which I received from
ChefShop.com
, was a quality honey that I tried in plain yogurt. It is a bit differentâand an exotic experience. The primary source of honeydew honey is evergreen trees in Europe. On the oval jar a honey tag penned by Giuseppe Cagnoni reads: “Honeydew Honey from organic farming; ITALIA. Honeydew honey is beautiful dark brown, free running honey and bittersweet. Bees harvest sugary secretions from the leaves of trees and convert it to honey.” It takes the sophisticated palate of a devout honey lover to love honeydew honey. Organic honeydew honey is not as sweet as I thought it would be. Its rich dark color was also a surprise. Giuseppe has been creating and finding some of the finest Italian artisan honeys.

LEATHERWOOD
(
Eucryphia lucida
): If you're looking for a mild honey, this exotic type derived from white-flowered leatherwood trees may not be your teaspoon of honey. This honey of Tasmania, Australia, is well known among honey lovers with a sophisticated palateâand it is an acquired taste, like 70 percent dark chocolate. A darker amber color offers decadent notes of sugar and spice.
Best Blends:
A good pair with French bread and cheeses with a strong flavor.
My Personal Tasting:
I dripped a small amount of the dark syrup over fresh, warm whole-grain French bread from the Sierra Mountains at Lake Tahoe with a few slices of sharp cheddar cheese.
