Wildflower Honey

Learn the local names and the difference between floral honey and honey with added ingredients. These general descriptions do not confirm the source of any particular jar. Colour and aroma can vary between harvests.

• Garanda honey

  Associated with the white flowers of the mountain plant locally called Garanda in Potohar and Azad Kashmir. Commonly described as light golden.

• Phalai or Palosa honey

  Phalai and Palosa are regional names associated with Acacia modesta: Phalai in Punjab and Palosa in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. A generic Acacia label alone does not establish this floral source.

• Malta / citrus honey

  Associated with orange and kinnow blossom, including the citrus orchards of Sargodha, Sahiwal and Pattoki.

• Lychee honey

  Named for lychee blossom and described as golden with a reddish tint. Colour alone cannot confirm the floral source.

• Shaftal honey

  Associated with the pink and white flowers of the fodder plant locally called Shaftal, including irrigated areas around Sahiwal, Okara and Pattoki.

• Robinia honey

  Associated with white Robinia blossom and often described as pale honey. Robinia and Phalai are different floral identities; this name does not guarantee that honey will never crystallize.

• Ajwain honey

  Associated with Ajwain’s umbrella-shaped white flowers and described as dark brown. Floral Ajwain honey is different from honey with Ajwain seeds, oil or extract added.

• Beri (Sidr) honey

  Associated with Beri blossom and often described as deep amber. The name refers to a stated floral source, rather than a guarantee of quality or a permanently liquid texture.

• Sperkay honey

  A regional name associated with a mountain wild plant described as having white and purple flowers in Waziristan, Karak and Bannu. Confirm the botanical identity and harvest origin with the supplier.

• Kalonji honey

  Associated with the pale blue and white flowers of Kalonji. Honey collected from the flowers is different from honey mixed with Kalonji seeds or oil; check the ingredients.

• Saffron-infused honey

  This preparation combines honey with added saffron, sometimes using Beri or Phalai honey as its base. It is an infusion, rather than a separate floral honey. Check the ingredient list for the actual recipe.

• Ginger-infused honey

  This preparation combines honey with ginger or dried ginger (sonth). It should be described by its added ingredients, rather than as honey collected from ginger flowers.
