The Mohawk Valley Trading Company is giving away one, 1lb Glass Jar of their Raw Buckwheat Honey.
This is raw honey;
it has not been heated, filtered, blended or processed. All of the
pollen, enzymes, propolis, vitamins, amino acids, antioxidants, minerals
and aromatics are in the same condition as they were in the hive.
Buckwheat
is neither a grass nor wheat, but is a fruit related to rhubarb; it was
one of the first crops cultivated in the United States. Dutch colonists
brought buckwheat to North America where they planted it along the
Hudson River. Buckwheat was sometimes called beech wheat, because its
seeds look like small beech nuts.
Buckwheat
was an important crop in the U.S. until the demand declined in the
1960's. Buckwheat honey is not a widespread honey and finding it locally
may be difficult because today, buckwheat is primarily grown in the
northern states.
Buckwheat
seeds are also used or making gluten free flour and buckwheat blossoms
are an excellent source of nectar and blooming can continue well into
the autumn.
Buckwheat
hulls are used as filling for pillows and meditation cushions. The
hulls are durable and do not conduct or reflect heat as much as
synthetic fills and they are an excellent substitute to feathers for
people with allergies. However, buckwheat hull pillows made with
uncleaned and unprocessed hulls contain high levels of allergens that
may trigger an asthma attack in those who are at risk.
From
about July through thru October, The Mohawk Valley Trading Company
place hives in buckwheat fields on both slopes and the surrounding area
of the Central Mohawk Valley and Finger Lakes region of New York. This
is the source of their buckwheat honey.
