Buckwheat Honey has arrived 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝 Buckwheat honey is a dark, full-bodied honey renowned for its rich flavor and high level of antioxidants. Its primary benefits include soothing coughs and sore throats, promoting wound healing, and combating cellular oxidative stress.
Rather than containing a single count of antimicrobials, its powerful antibacterial action comes from five key active components:
* Hydrogen Peroxide: Generated naturally by the enzyme glucose oxidase, serving as the main driver of its antibacterial activity.
* Phenolic Acids and Flavonoids: High levels of plant polyphenols (such as quercetin and p-coumaric acid) that disrupt bacterial cells.
* High Sugar Content (Osmotic Effect): Draws moisture away from microbes, preventing them from surviving.
* Low pH: High acidity (typically pH 3.5 to 4.5) creates an inhospitable environment for pathogens.
* Bee Defensin-1: An antibacterial peptide secreted by honeybees into the nectar.
