Updated: Apr 19, 2021

Both Tropical and Mediterranean climates are suitable for the harvest of Avacado honey and are cultivated worldwide. The places that grow Avocado trees are Southern Mexico and the Western United States to Central America, Australia or other tropical regions. This honey is commonly known in these areas.

Avocado has many species, and the fruit can have several shapes like pear, egg, or spherical, and they all ripen after harvesting.

Avocado blossoms nectar make appreciated honey. It does not really taste like avocado; its texture, however, is a little like mashed avocado. Pure Avocado blossom honey usually is dark amber with a thick, creamy consistency and buttery, rich taste that's great for baking. It is a good antibacterial and, in combination with other ingredients, it's perfect to use as a skin moisturizer.

Like other high-sucrose honey, the Avocado varietal does not crystallize easily even after having a very high sucrose content, maybe due to its high moisture content. Avocado honey includes perseitol, a form of sugar that can be recognized as an Avocado honey hallmark.

Avocado honey has a smell that is subtle and friendly. It's medium sweetness, depending on the honey's source and purity transforms into a delightful bittersweet aftertaste.

There are some caveats nutritionally; Avocado honey is high in carbohydrates and calories, so it should not be included excessively in the diet, but it is healthier than sugar. Compared to any other variety of honey, it is richer in mineral content, so it's beneficial to the body which is definitely a plus point.

One potential downside with this honey is that it is also high in phosphorus, which can be a problem for those with chronic kidney disease or kidney failure, especially if they consume various other phosphorus-rich foods. Healthy individuals should also avoid excessive consumption of phosphorus because cardiovascular disease, kidney disorders, and bone health issues are caused by excess.

Phosphorus is contained in poultry, seafood, meat, nuts, seeds, dairy foods, whole grains, beans, and any kind of cold drinks!

If compared with other citrus nectar, Avocado nectar and honey are rich in an array of minerals, including potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, sulphur, iron, and copper and suitable for people who suffer from these mineral deficiencies.

Therefore, its high mineral content may help in preventing anaemia. Avocado honey provides much of the same advantages as other honey varieties. It is rich in antioxidants and polyphenols, which ensures that it helps manage chronic health issues, from cardiovascular and neurological disorders to digestive tract problems, diabetes, and even cancer, in all conditions with antioxidant needs. It's also higher in fibre than most honey.

The antimicrobial and antibacterial properties of Avocado honey is the right choice for wound and burn treatment. It is also used as an ingredient, as part of a skincare regimen, like in face masks.

Eating Avocado honey may help avoid seasonal allergies, and is also very effective in controlling coughs, like most honey. It helps with insomnia, detoxifies the body, powers the brain, supports immunity, helps with cough with adult coffee and children's milk and many others.
