Properties and Benefits of Sunflower Honey:
The bees can make honey from flower and nectar. This is applicable for sunflower, an abundantly found flower which is known for its oil-rich seeds which are a healthy source of sunflower oil. Honey obtained from sunflower crystallizes easily but this attribute does not affect its qualities. In fact, it is nutritious and rich in minerals and amino acids exhibiting energizing, anti-bacterial and anti-oxidant properties.
This honey is helpful in digestive health and also helps in healing the wound and faster recovery from respiratory tract problems.

Sunflower honey benefits

Sunflower is yellow in color or golden to golden orange. The bright yellow color remains the same even after crystallization and takes slightly delicate beige color. This honey crystallizes in a shorter period of time. The estimated duration of crystallization is between 20 days to 2 months post harvest or extraction. Solidified honey is not less healthy than its original form since it is still rich in nutrients. Heating caused loss of beneficial properties.
Sunflower honey is light in taste just like acacia honey. It is slightly heavy and oily, which is because of its thick consistency and it is derived from oilseed plant. Therefore, it has some elements which influence smell and taste like amino acids. With medium taste intensity, this has basic taste which is sugary and moderately heavy with a light oily fragrance. Lack of floral fruity flavors makes it unique and savory. It tastes best with whole grain bread or rye bread.
As compared to other varieties of honey, it crystallizes within two weeks to three months. This process enhances its beneficial properties, it is believed that the healthy elements of the sunflower honey are absorbed effectively is crystallized honey is kept under the tongue. The salivary gland slowly breaks it down and allows easy absorption.

For these properties, natural honey is widely used for wound dressings to improve the healing time.
