6 Homegrown Honey Brands That Will Sweeten Your Tastebuds

How many times have you seen celebrities on TV asking us to substitute sugar with honey? While they may be marketing a specific product, they are also making a lot of sense. Honey is a natural sweetener that — if taken without preservatives — works wonders for the body. You can have it raw to cure colds, add it to smoothies, drizzle some on a scoop of ice cream and do a million other things. 

The next time you’re looking to buy a jar of honey, keep these organic local brands in mind. They provide a healthier product that is way better than store-bought ones. Trust me, you will notice the difference once you taste them.

 

1. Under The Mango Tree

This non-profit organisation works with farmers across the country to bring good quality honey to your doorstep. The queen bee of the company Vijaya Pastala realised that the little communities in India collected and made a variety of honey. While the one you and I eat is the standard flavour. She thought of getting those different varieties into our lives and also help farmers make a decent living out of it as well. Some of the versions that they sell include Wild Forest, Dessert Blossom, and Litchi, among several others.

Apart from being super yummy, they have brilliant medicinal qualities that keep you healthy. Perfect for those who have oats and green tea as their meals.

3. Nirvaaha

This site is a one-stop destination for all your organic food. While you can order online, they also have a shop in Delhi. They sell two kinds of honey: Forest and Farm. The Forest one is a bit sour in taste as it has more pollen in it, but is also more medicinal. While the latter tastes like what we usually eat and is preservative-free. They tend to make organic food really interesting by organising pop-up cafes and events regularly. Fun and food, best of both worlds!
