Characteristics of Honey
Honey is the sweet, thick substance produced by bees. It is divided into two categories: blossom honey and honeydew honey.
Flower honey comes from the nectar of flowers and wildflowers consumed by bees, which they transform into honey. This honey is stored in their honeycombs and collected during the summer months. For each type of flower from which the bees feed, they produce a different type of honey. The most popular are orange blossom honey, thyme honey, lavender honey and eucalyptus honey.
In contrast, honeydew honey comes from plant juices and from insects that can be found on these plants. Its taste is slightly smoky and less sweet than blossom honey. Forest honey, fir honey, pine honey and chestnut honey are recognized as honeydew honeys.
This substance is particularly beneficial for the body and is considered a natural superfood. Honey prevents the growth of microbes, bacteria and carcinogenic cells. It has cardioprotective, anti-inflammatory and healing properties.
History of Honey
The consumption of honey spread in ancient Greece from the ancient Egyptians. In ancient Greece, honey acquired a sacred role, as it was believed that the gods of Olympus were nourished with it and with the so‑called “nectar”. Children were given a drink called “melikrato”, which consisted of honey and milk. The sick were given “oxymelo”, a mixture of honey and vinegar that was believed to combat fever. They also made “oinomelo”, with wine and honey, which Hippocrates and Pythagoras recommended against fatigue. Thus honey became part of the diet of all Greeks, regardless of age and physical condition.
