What is Special About Raw Sidr Honey?

May 09, 2025

Sidr Honey is among the finest variants of honey in the world. It comes with a distinctive taste, and is known for its antibacterial qualities. This honey is considered sacred in many religions.

The bees feed on the lavish nectar that this tree produces for a short period in the late Spring producing this legendary honey.

Due to the fact that Sidr is a very sort after honey the demand is huge and supplies are sold very quickly.

This in turn often pushes up the price and can lead to problems with authenticity.  Sometimes Sidr is sold as Sidr honey but actually it contains very little Sidr pollen.

We are very aware of this problem and its one of the reasons why we only ever buy raw Sidr honey from beekeepers that we can trust.

In addition all of the Sidr that we sell is always tested independently at a laboratory so we can ensure it is authentic, pure and genuine Sidr.
