What Is Neem Honey & How does it tastes like?

Neem honey is honey produced by bees that collect nectar exclusively from neem tree (Azadirachta indica) flowers during the neem flowering season. The neem tree flowers bloom for only a few weeks every year — making neem honey a rare, seasonal, single-source honey.

Because bees forage on neem flowers during the blooming season, neem honey contains antioxidants and beneficial plant compounds, contributing to its natural antibacterial and medicinal properties.

Neem honey has a distinctive taste that sets it apart from all other honey. It is darker in colour – deep amber to brown with a distinct taste, and rich texture that comes from the neem flower nectar.

Many people think neem honey will taste bitter because it comes from neem flowers. Surprisingly, raw neem honey is usually smooth and pleasantly sweet, with only mild herbal or earthy notes, rather than strong bitterness. Its balanced flavour makes it enjoyable and a natural sweetener in daily use.
