The land of mists and mellow fruitfulness is also home to the ‘orange’ or ‘orange blossom’ honey. This honey is made by bees that feed on nectar from orange flowers. It is mainly found in the orchards of Khasi Mandarin – located in the Ri-War area of East Khasi Hills.
The Mandarin Orange is one of the original citrus species – the ancestor of many hybrid citrus fruits available today. The speciality of Khasi Mandarin grown in this region is that it has a GI tag associated with it.

Note: Crystallized honey is still honey! It’s perfectly safe to eat and doesn’t mean that your honey has gone bad. In fact, it’s just the opposite! It means that your honey is natural and oh-so-good.
You can still liquefy it by placing your jar in warm water and sunlight.
