Description
Honey Desi (Bari Makhi) is produced by the giant honeybee, Apis dorsata, native to Pakistan. It has potent antimicrobial properties. It is collected from large, open-air nests on trees, resulting in a natural product often considered a unique delicacy. This raw, dark intensity, unprocessed honey has a deeper flavor, full of natural enzymes and vital nutrients. It is commonly used to flavor marinades, drizzled over robust cheeses, or taken for its potent wellness benefits. It also supports heart and bone health due to its rich phenolic and flavonoid content. It stimulates wound tissue growth, facilitates an anti-inflammatory response, helps reduce pain and edema, and promotes faster healing. It helps keep the skin soft and supple by absorbing moisture from the air and locking it into the tissues.
