Hawaiian Lehua Honey 60 Lbs Bucket

Description

Lehua Honey
The Ohia-Lehua Honey is a smooth, white honey that is thick and creamy. It is most distinguished for its texture, which is creamy and yet slightly crystallized. The flavor is sweet, but not overpowering. The taste could be described as floral. This is a mono-floral honey. It has a higher percentage of Glucose to Fructose sugar ratio.  The higher amount of Glucose in the honey causes the Lehua Honey to crystallize faster and have finer-smoother texture.
If you enjoy the Ohia-Lehua Honey flavor, you may also enjoy the
Naalehu Honey
that the bees collect with Monkey Pod and Kiawe nectar.
The Ohi’a grows throughout the Hawaiian Islands but is most abundant on the Big Island of Hawaii. Lehua is the red flower of the Ohia tree and is the the islands official flower. The scientific name for the plant is
Metrosideros polymorpha guad
, belonging to the Myrtle family.  It is often the first plant to grow on new lava fields and blooms from December to July.
