Ṣāl honey, also known as Spurge honey, is a rare mono-floral honey produced by bees from the nectar of the Euphorbia Ammak cactus plant in Yemen. It has a unique spicy and gingery taste and is rich in active substances. Known for treating respiratory problems, it offers various health benefits and can be consumed as a natural sweetener.
Yemen has always been well known to harvest one of the best honeys in the world, if not, the best! There is no debate on that. Often compared to top-grade Manuka honeys with at least Unique Manuka Factor (UMF) 10 and above, top-grade Sidr honeys or Royal Sidr honey, also known as Bughyah honey or sometimes called the ‘Liquid Gold’ is on par or even better, especially when it comes to the fine texture and luscious taste of Yemeni Sidr honey.
