Three Honeys, Three Reasons
Your pantry probably has one honey bottle. Maybe it’s from the farmers market. Maybe it’s that plastic bear you’ve had since 2019. Either way, you’re using the same honey for everything—oatmeal, chicken marinade, biscuits, toast, tea.
But here’s the thing: not all honey is the same. Blueberry honey doesn’t taste like wildflower honey. Sunflower honey doesn’t taste like either. They come from different flowers, different regions, different bees working different fields. And the differences? They’re not subtle.
One’s buttery and dark—perfect for cornbread. Another’s floral and light—made for your morning yogurt. One tastes like actual fruit and practically begs to be drizzled over chops of your choice.
This is three jars. Blueberry from New Jersey fields. Sunflower from Ukraine. Wildflower from Pennsylvania, wherever the bees wandered that week. Each one brings something different to the kitchen. Instead of grabbing whatever’s already open, you’ll reach for the right jar for the job.
People always ask which honey to use in recipes. Now you have an answer that isn’t “whatever’s in the pantry.”
Your First Sunday Experiment
- Taste First: Spread each honey on plain crackers or bread. Taste them separately, not mixed. Notice which one's darker, which feels thicker, which lingers.
- Pair with What's Already Open: Put the wildflower in your tea drawer. Keep the sunflower near your baking supplies. Try the blueberry on pork, chicken, or in BBQ sauce this weekend.
- Swap Strategically: Next time a recipe calls for honey, pick the one that makes sense. Baking muffins? Sunflower. Making vinaigrette? Wildflower. Glazing salmon? Blueberry.
- Store Like Any Honey: Counter or cabinet. If they crystallize (they will), warm the jar in hot water. Nothing's wrong with them.
