Buckwheat Honey

I don't write many reviews but when a product is as outstanding as the OneRoot Raw Buckwheat honey I received today I am happy to leave one. This honey is exquisite. If you don't like it then you probably simply don't care for buckwheat honey. I'm sure it's not for everyone. It's much darker than most honey with a very bold taste. I would describe it as earthy, nutty, toffee like. It's also a little less sweet than other honeys. Aside from it's numerous health benefits I think this would be fantastic drizzled on oatmeal. I can also see using it in glazes and BBQ sauces. Because the flavor is very intense it would overpower delicate flavors. I doubt there is any higher quality buckwheat honey out there. The price is reasonable too for such a high quality artisanal product.

Buckwheat honey is my favorite type of honey! I've never tried this brand before but I'm glad that I did! Very delicious, and have been using this to keep th flu and other viruses away! It has a stronger molasses flavor that I really enjoy! The properties of buckwheat honey rivals manuka honey but at much cheaper cost!The honey seems fresh and not hardened. There was no leakage and packaging was very good. I will be buying again.

great tasting honey, says no antibiotics, no pesticides, north canada is really much less pesticide than usa buckwheat honey was found to be the best honey for sore throat, even better than manuka honey. google Pubmed, and NIH website database.

I have tried many brands of Buckwheat honey and this is one of the milder tasting. One noticeable quality is that it is not as viscous as others which are American brands though I suspect some might molasses to improve flavor but that is just a suspicion. Also it does not get as thick in very cold weather but I wonder if this is a characteristic of Canadian honey...just wondered.

Excellent flavor and Excellent packaging.

I've tasted natural buckwheat honey before however this buckwheat honey taste too sugary and it's too watery to be honey. Dissolves easily and quicker than real honey in water. This honey also does not stick to my thumb or spread very slowly. When placing this honey on bread it turns soft, which real honey does not do. Only the moisture of fake honey can soften the bread. Overall super disappointed in this product and company.

I really like this honey! After a "lot" of research into companies and tasting, I found OneRoot Buckwheat honey the best in consistency and taste. A number of companies heat their honey up to 140 degrees which I have read by Bee Keepers and the Industry "experts" this destroys valuable nutrients. I take my hat off to Sandt's as they acknowledge they heat their honey up to 140 degrees "gently" over a two day period, claiming nothing is destroyed in the process. I respectfully disagree based on my research and admit their buckwheat honey tasted excellent... a shame for me that I'm picky? I believe Nate's is the same thing in the heating process so I disposed both manufacture's products into the "bin" - that hurt, but why consume a product that, in my personal view, has lost so many good things that urged me to consume honey in the first place? I would like to ask those who gave this OneRoot Buckwheat Honey a one or two star a question: when you mention "there are better Buckwheat honeys out there", why is it you never mention their names? This makes me suspicious of your evaluations. Just sayin! By The Way, just purchased the 6.6lb bucket. When it arrives, I'll put it into Mason Jars, label them and use one jar at a time with the other jars in the fridge or freezer. And, before anyone has heart burn on the fridge or freezer, please do your research first and I don't mean relying on the "threads"!

What I like about it, and why I plan to buy it again: (1) It is liquid, with no sign of crystallization at the bottom of the jar. (2) It has a taste of its own: some honey I have tried were just sugary, without any particular taste. Those I found to have a taste of their own were: coriander honey (if you can get it -- try Yummy Bazaar in New Jersey), linden honey (I buy the Breitsamer brand, widely available, Amazon or your local stores), chestnut honey (check Mira Nova on Amazon; also Giannetti or Rigoni di Asiago, both from Italy), and honeydew honey, aka forest honey (a category that includes pine honey, fir honey, oak honey, beech honey, etc., in addition to "forest honey" which I assume is a blend of honeys from several sources - check what Amazon has to offer). (3) It is definitely far better than the other buckwheat honeys I tried (Sandt, Goshen, etc.) (4) It comes in a glass jar: this may matter if you take your time eating the whole jar. July 11, 2021 - I ordered, and just received another jar. The glass jar came in a cardboard box on which there was a label: "BBD May 13, 2026", which means that it is fresh honey. Now, I know that honey never goes bad, but I happen to like mine liquid, without crystallization, i.e. without the need to fuss over it to bring it back to the liquid state (if possible). I have a few other jars (three on the kitchen counter) that I want to finish first, and then it's going to be chestnut honey and buckwheat honey for me, with a jar of linden honey to sweeten my tea. Don't be afraid, try it! ---- Update, June 17, 2023 It disappeared for a while; then it came back and I immediately ordered one jar: ordered June 10, received June 14, sooner than expected. So, I ordered another on June 14 (should arrive June 21-23). [My excuse: I may have a sore throat, at times. Better be ready; you never know! Besides, it is not too sweet; consider it a "diet food".]
