Mount Athos Chestnut Honey

Description

Mount Athos Chestnut Honey:

Mount Athos Chestnut Honey is collected by the monks of Mount Athos as part of their monastic duties. It is packaged by the monks themselves with care and attention, making it an authentic monastic product. The monks, respecting the gifts that the Lord has provided, follow only natural methods of processing to offer pure, high-quality chestnut honey.

Properties:

Chestnut honey from Mount Athos is highly nutritious due to its high content of pollen grains. Studies have shown that chestnut honey has significant antimicrobial properties against various microorganisms, such as Staphylococcus, Enterococcus, Helicobacter pylori, and both types of Candida. Additionally, it has strong bacteriostatic effects, which are due to the honey’s ability to prevent bacterial growth in humans.

Chestnut honey has a slightly bitter taste, which means it contains fewer sugars compared to other types of honey. Beekeepers explain that it contains a higher percentage of fructose and lower levels of glucose. Fructose is the substance commonly used to make sweeteners for individuals with diabetes, and particularly the fructose in honey is absorbed better by the body. Therefore, chestnut honey is recommended for elderly people and those with blood sugar problems. The above information is not medical advice and is provided for informational purposes only.

The chestnut blossom season on Mount Athos is favored by mild weather conditions and rain. Bees collect large amounts of pollen, which is valuable for brood rearing later on in pine trees. The chestnut bloom, which begins in early June and lasts for about twelve days, is important for the hives.

It contains no preservatives, chemicals, added sugars, or colorants.
