What is Euphorbia Honey?
It is the honey produced by bees using nectar collected from the flowers of the euphorbia plant, an endemic plant found in various species in the rich flora of the Southeastern Anatolia region. Euphorbia honey, a local honey, is also called hasul honey.
Characteristics of Euphorbia Honey
Euphorbia honey has a very unique structure with its dark color, consistency, and scent. Its properties are almost the same as other types of honey. Its most important feature is its richness in phenolic compounds. Phenolic compounds protect plants from harmful organisms and also have a positive effect on human health.
How Should Euphorbia Honey Be Consumed?
You can consume euphorbia honey for breakfast, or you can consume a tablespoon of it on an empty stomach in the morning and another tablespoon before bed. As with other types of honey, you can also use euphorbia honey in a mixture with other bee products (such as royal jelly and pollen).
How Should It Be Stored?
The storage conditions for euphorbia honey are the same as for other types of honey. It is recommended to store it in a cool area, away from heat and light as much as possible. Furthermore, it is perfectly normal for your honey to crystallize. Crystallization is inherent in honey's nature. In fact, it is recommended to consume it this way. However, due to consumption habits, it is desirable for it to be fluid and clear.
