Frequently Asked Questions about Tupelo Honey

1. What is tupelo honey, and how is it harvested?

Tupelo honey is a rare, golden honey with a sweet and smooth flavor. It’s made from the nectar of tupelo tree flowers, which grow in swampy areas. Most tupelo honey is harvested in the southeastern United States, especially in the Apalachicola River Basin in Florida and parts of Georgia.

• Rich in antioxidants

3. Why is tupelo honey more expensive?

Tupelo honey costs more because it’s rare and hard to produce. The trees that make this honey only bloom for about 10 days a year, and they grow in small areas in Florida and Georgia. Beekeepers set up hives along the riverbanks so bees can gather nectar from the swampy areas. It also takes a lot of time and effort to harvest and process tupelo honey.

4. How does tupelo honey taste compared to other honey?

Tupelo honey has a unique flavor that’s smooth and sweet. It tastes buttery with a light floral hint, and some people notice a touch of spice, like cinnamon or rosewater. It’s milder and less heavy than many other kinds of honey.

5. Does tupelo honey crystallize?

No, tupelo honey rarely crystallizes. This is because it has more fructose and less glucose than other types of honey, which makes it harder for crystals to form. This means tupelo honey stays smooth and liquid for a long time. 

6. Is tupelo honey safe for people with diabetes?

Tupelo honey is often considered one of the best options for people with diabetes because it has a low glycemic index, meaning it doesn’t cause a quick spike in blood sugar.
