About Buckwheat honey
Buckwheat honey is honey produced by bees gathering nectar from buckwheat flowers. It is often dark amber to brown and has a bold, malty, earthy flavour that is more pronounced than that of many pale honeys; its texture may be runny or crystallized.
It is used as a sweetener or spread, and its colour and flavour can vary with floral sources, harvest, and handling. Products sold under this name may differ in how much of their nectar source comes from buckwheat, so the name does not imply a uniform flavour or composition.
