Linden honey: what is it made of, benefits and harms, uses

One of the most valuable and elite varieties of honey is linden. It is the first kind that man tasted. At first, linden honey was extracted from the hives of wild bees and used as a sweet. Later, the medicinal properties of the product were also discovered.



Linden honey is used in cooking, cosmetology and medicine. The best cure for colds in the world does not exist. Fragrant, delicious product produced by bees, endowed with many qualities that benefit the body.

Types of linden honey

In nature, there are about 45 varieties of linden. On the territory of Russia, 16 varieties of the tree are found. The best honey bears are considered trees growing in climatic zones with high importance: the middle belt of Russia, the Krasnodar region, the Caucasus, the Primorsky region, Bashkiria.

The benefits and harms of linden honey

Depending on the area where the honey is collected, there are several types of bee product:

  1. Bashkirian. The area is predominantly covered with small-leaved varieties of trees. Obtained from the nectar of the flowers of this variety of linden honey is characterized by light yellow hues. Sometimes the color of the product is almost transparent. A characteristic feature of linden honey from Bashkortostan is a sweet rich taste with a predominance of menthol notes and a rich smell. The fresh product has a subtle bitterness in taste. Over time, it disappears.
  2. Seaside. The bees of this region collect nectar from the flowers of the best honey-bearing tree - the Japanese linden. The variety of woody plant also influenced the name of the bee product. Often the seaside linden honey can be found under the name - taka linden. Only the pumped product is amber in color, sometimes with a greenish, slightly cloudy hue. It is characterized by a strong fragrant flavor, which does not disappear after crystallization. It is sweet and sugary, with no bitterness aftertaste.
  3. Caucasian. Bees collect nectar in mountainous areas from wild trees where, in addition to linden, other grasses and trees can be found. Therefore, the honey is not classified as monofloral, but still has a predominance of linden flavor. The product has a fragrant bright smell, but has a darker hue than honey collected in other areas. It is effective in the treatment of colds and sore throats, and when combined with warm milk or tea, it is an excellent remedy for lowering fever.
  4. Tzar's Lime. This is the name given to the kind of honey collected in the forests of the northern regions. A distinctive feature of the product is a fragrant smell with specific tones. It has a rich sweet taste with a characteristic tartness. Color - light yellow, translucent. In addition to the prevention and treatment of viral diseases, this type of honey is considered one of the best natural remedies to strengthen the immune system and increase vitality.

All varieties have a fragrant aroma of linden blossom. It may differ in saturation and degree of persistence. It depends on the variety of tree and the area where the nectar is collected. These parameters affect the color and sweetness of the product.

What is the difference between linden honey and flower honey

Floral honey is a polyfluoric variety, and is the result of bees processing nectar collected from several types of flowers, herbs, and flowers. Lime honey is polyfluoric, with 40 percent or more of the pollen from linden flowers in the nectar.

Distinctive features:

Linden honey.

  1. Gathering period. Limited to the flowering of the tree. Nectar harvesting occurs between July and August.
  2. Aroma. Predominant fragrant linden honey. Remains quite strong odor after sugaring.
  3. Color. From light yellow (translucent) to amber.
  4. Taste. The aftertaste is subtle with a bitterness. Completely bitterness disappears after saccharification.
  5. Crystallization. In the liquid state is short-lived. By the beginning of winter, it is very difficult to find this type of honey un-sugared. The high sucrose content contributes to the fast period of crystallization.

Flower honey

  1. Gathering period. Spring - Summer.
  2. Flavor. It is a very pleasant, but not very predominant smell of any particular plant. Sometimes fruity notes are felt. After crystallization, the aroma is weaker.
  3. Color. It is more intense yellow. It can have darker hues, even brown (if pollen from a buckwheat flower is present).
  4. Taste. Mild, with tangible herbal notes. Aftertaste quite long, without bitterness.
  5. Crystallization. Remains liquid for up to 7-8 months, as fructose predominates over sucrose.

The degree of saturation of the product with these compounds depends on the location of nectar collection, the breed and age of bees, and the weather during the collection period.
  2. Water. The amount of this component occupies 12-20% of the composition.
  3. A small percentage of protein.
  4. Vitamin and mineral complex consisting of salts, vitamins C, A, E, K, B group representatives. They are what give the product useful properties for the body. The ratio of minerals in the linden honey is similar to the composition of these substances in human blood.
  5. Protein compounds and amino acids that act as catalysts accelerating chemical processes.
  6. 0.35% organic and 0.029% inorganic acids. The largest percentage is in malic, citric and lactic acids.
  7. There are about 150 different aromatic substances. They make linden honey so fragrant and fragrant.

High nutritional value of the product (100 g - 328 kcal) provides a high content of carbohydrates.

Harm and contraindications

Natural and so fragrant linden honey, endowed with many useful qualities, for the bulk of people is a delicacy and medicine. But there are categories of people for whom a drop of this nectar is poison:

  1. First of all, this applies to allergic people. Allergy to honey appears in the form of simple rashes, itching in the throat, but can cause swelling or anaphylactic shock. Therefore, before introducing this product into the diet, it is better to be tested.
  2. Contraindicated linden honey people with poor blood clotting, chronic diseases of the cardiovascular system.
  3. There is a certain danger in the use of the product for diabetics. Linden honey can cause an unwanted release of insulin, leading to a rapid spike in blood sugar levels.
  4. You should not give linden honey to children at an early age. Experts recommend introducing it into the diet after 4 years of age.

Natural linden honey can not cause significant harm to the body, if you adhere to the norm and do not violate the recommendations of doctors.

How to choose and store

The number of those who want to have a high-quality natural linden honey in the house is increasing every year. In the market and in stores with increasing demand, the number of fakes and sales of honey with the addition of various impurities is increasing.

How to choose and store linden honey

Choosing honey, you should pay attention to the color. All types of linden honey is quite light, sometimes transparent, in candied form - white or light yellow. Much about the quality of the product and says the smell. The linden's aroma does not wear off even when it is crystallized.

Honey retains its taste and healing properties for quite a long period (several years). The main thing is to store it correctly at home.

Creating ideal conditions allows the observance of the basic parameters of storage:

  1. Container. A glass jar, tightly closed with a lid, is ideal for storing linden honey. You can also use ceramic containers. It is not recommended to store the product in metal utensils - the oxidation process may begin.
  2. Temperature ranges. Ideally, from -5 to 20°C. At higher temperatures, honey may begin to deteriorate, losing its health and taste. If the product has been heated above 40°C, it should be thrown away, as under these conditions honey turns into a poisonous and dangerous substance.
  3. Lighting. Honey from linden trees does not tolerate direct sunlight. This can cause a strong reaction of decomposition of most of its nutrients. The best place to store it is a pantry or kitchen cupboard away from the stove.
  4. Humidity. One of the properties of linden honey is that it absorbs moisture quickly, so it is better to store it in a room with reduced or normal humidity levels.
  5. Smell. The jar with the honey should always be kept closed. So honey for a long time will retain its natural fragrance of linden and will not be spoiled by the absorption of foreign smells.

By adhering to these fairly simple recommendations, hostesses will be able to avoid spoilage and fermentation of the product.

How quickly it crystallizes.

The natural chemical reaction to which all varieties of honey are subjected - crystallization. This transition process occurs gradually, with honey first becoming thicker and lighter in color, then becoming saccharine. As it crystallizes, these honeys do not lose their aroma, flavor or health benefits. In addition, this process is indisputable proof of the absence of foreign impurities in the composition and the naturalness of the product.

Linden honey begins to crystallize 2-3 months after extraction. The rate of the process is affected by the percentage of glucose content: the higher it is, the faster the product is saccharized.

Natural factors influence the slowing down of the crystallization process. For example, rainy weather during the nectar harvesting period by bees contributes to the increased moisture content in the product.

But if the consistency of linden honey is not subject to change within 6-7 months (under proper storage conditions), you can safely say - it is a fake, having no useful properties.

How to tell the difference between counterfeit and fake

You can avoid deception by knowing the elementary ways of determining the naturalness of linden honey:

  1. Drop a small amount of honey on the skin of your hand and rub it in. Natural honey will absorb fairly quickly, while artificial or low-quality honey will roll up on the surface of the skin.
  2. Scoop up the honey with a spoon and, lifting it to a small height, slowly let it trickle back into the jar. Quality honey drips down evenly, being absorbed in the total mass quite slowly and without forming a turbid sediment.
  3. Excellent proof of naturalness is the presence in the jar of particles of wax, pollen.
  4. The weight of natural honey in a liter jar is not less than 1 kg 200 g.

More opportunities to test and determine whether honey is natural or it is a sugar syrup with flavoring can be done at home by experimenting with the addition of various catalysts and the use of improvised means:

  1. Iodine: Dissolve a small amount of linden honey in a glass of water. Add a few drops of iodine to the liquid. In the chemical composition of the product of bee processing there are no components that react to this catalyst, so if the liquid did not change color in the glass, the honey is natural.
  2. Bread: Pour some honey into a deep saucer and dip a small crumb into it. If, after a few minutes, the bread is softened - instead of honey you bought a fake.
  3. Vinegar: Make a weak honey solution and drop table vinegar into it. The natural product will not react with it, and the proof of unnecessary additives in it will be the appearance of bubbles on the surface or sediment at the bottom of the container.
  4. Starch: Pour a little starch into a tablespoon of honey. If the reaction does not start, the honey is natural.
  5. Fork or knife: Heat a table object over a fire and dip it into the honey. If it's sugar syrup, the metal will turn black.

Carrying out such experiments, you can become 100% sure of the quality of the purchased linden honey.

How to consume linden honey correctly

There are no generally accepted rules regarding the amount of honey consumption. But physicians agree that for a healthy adult daily rate of honey should not exceed 40-50 grams. This amount is quite enough for preventive purposes, and also enough to replenish vitamin and mineral reserves.

How to eat linden honey

For people who lead an active life, engage in sports or work with great physical exertion, it is allowed to slightly exceed this norm. But for people with a sedentary lifestyle and overweight, it is better to reduce the dosage.

Pregnant women are advised not to use more than 8 grams (1 tsp.) per day, so as not to cause an adverse reaction in the form of allergies or elevated blood sugar levels.

For children from 4 to 12 years of age, a daily allowance of 15 to 20 grams of linden honey is recommended.

When adding linden honey to tea, coffee or milk, remember: the temperature of the liquid should not exceed 40 ° C. Otherwise, instead of the healing effect, the body will suffer from poisoning or the emergence of allergic edema.
