About this Honey
Often sold as "American Bamboo" honey. Harvested in late summer across the Northeast and Midwest from the invasive Knotweed plant. It is very dark, similar to Buckwheat, but lacks the pungency. It offers a rich, mild, molasses-like flavor that is excellent for those who enjoy dark honeys without the bite.
