BLUME HONEYWATER
The UnSugar
To include honey in the category of “sweeteners” risks missing a more significant message. Yes, honey is sweet...but honey is more than just a sweetener. It is a wonderful, natural, historic food containing secrets that have been hidden or ignored for too long.
THE WONDERS OF HONEYSourcing Organic Honey From Jungle Flowers in Mexico
There are thousands of honey varietals found around the world (more than 350 in the U.S. alone), and each has its own distinctive floral character. For Blume Honey Water, we chose an organic honey from the jungles in the Yucatan of Mexico to take advantage of the beautifully diverse flavors and aromas this honey bestow on our waters.
Honey and Sugar?
The biggest difference: sugar is just sweet, honey actually has flavor. Both sweeteners contain glucose and fructose. However, during the manufacturing of sugar, the organic acids, protein, nitrogen elements, enzymes and vitamins in the sugar cane are destroyed, whereas honey, a natural sweetener, subjected only to minimal heating maintains all of its beneficial properties. Honey has certain beneficial antioxidants and antimicrobial properties which are not present in cane sugars.
Seasonal Honey
Spring Honey is the lightest in color and thinnest in consistency. It is often the most flavorful and has very distinctive floral notes.
Summer Honey is more amber in color and has a medium consistency. The taste is often richer and can be slightly acidic, while still floral in nose.
Autumn honey can range from dark amber to molasses color with a thick consistency. The taste can be as strong as molasses and even burnt marshmallow.
