Trefoil

About this Honey

Sourced from Birdsfoot Trefoil, a legume often planted for forage in the Northern U.S. and Canada. The honey is light yellow, sometimes with a faint greenish cast. It crystallizes very slowly and has a mild, smooth flavor that is less spicy than clover but richer than acacia. It is an excellent, unobtrusive sweetener for baking.
