The Qualities of Acacia Honey

There are two reasons that most people love acacia, honey.

The first is its taste and appearance. Acacia has a sweet, delicate flavor with hints of vanilla, a clean floral aroma and no aftertaste. Unlike many varieties of honey which can be quite overbearing, acacia honey is light and easy on the palate; you can even enjoy more than a teaspoon or two of acacia honey straight from the bottle or jar without feeling like you’ve overdone it. In that regard, many compare acacia to orange blossom honey (which has more of a light citrus taste.) And its beautiful light color, ranging from white liquid glass to a lovely pale yellow, could easily induce you to dip your spoon into the jar more than once or twice.

Secondly it is one of the most favorite honeys liked by children for its unique savor & smoothly running of it. It has very low quantity of glycemic index; therefore it is useful for the diabetic patients.

Best Uses for Acacia Honey

The mild taste of this honey makes it perfect for use “straight-up” and added to yogurt, cereal, or ice cream since it doesn’t overpower other flavors. Acacia honey also has a low acid content so it pairs well with many kinds of cheese, figs, apricots, or other stand-alone fruits and nuts.

And of course, it’s delicious right out of the jar as a quick-energy snack.
