False indigo honey

Amorpha fruticosa, the false indigo bush, is a plant from the Fabaceae family, locally also known as desert false indigo or wild acacia. This branched shrub with erect, thornless shoots originates from North America, reaching a height of 4-5 metres and double that in width. The flowers are located on short stalks, and the fruit is a single-seeded pod, purple to dark red in colour. False indigo-based remedies were used as a sedative for autonomic neuroses, the cardiovascular system and many other applications. It is also known that crushed false indigo seeds can be used as a spice. Native American tribes used false indigo as a general tonic to combat rheumatism and chronic illnesses. False indigo blooms in late May and early June, after acacia. In our region, it is found in various forest areas, mostly in Slavonia.

False indigo honey is of exceptional quality; although very similar to acacia honey, it takes on a distinctive reddish colour due to its high pollen content. As it is rich in minerals and pollen, it is used to strengthen the immune system, improve blood counts and assist with cardiovascular conditions. Our false indigo grows in the Spačva forest, and our little bees work hard every year so we have as many jars of this special honey as possible!
