Product Overview: 

Nature’s Blends brings premium quality, 100% pure and raw, organic, and beautiful-tasting clover honey. Produced in New Zealand, this fine delicacy is harvested responsibly. It is produced by honeybees who collect nectar only from Clover (Trifolium) flowers. Our unprocessed and unfiltered clover honey is enriched with pollens and has a creamy texture and relatively strong flavor. Depending on the season, it can be light or medium-colored.

We neither blend the honey nor heat it to retain naturally present proteins and important enzymes in clover flower nectar. We use cold-pressing techniques for extraction to give you an extraordinary taste.

Origin: 

Clover, an edible herbaceous plant that is also cherished as a pasture plant, is native to grassy areas of Europe and Central Asia. It has the capacity to nitrogenize the soil for fertilizing it naturally. The plant tends to nurture in temperate and subtropical regions. Moreover, Clover is organically grown in NZ’s sunny gardens in abundance. It can be harvested in any part of the world except Australia and Southeast Asia.

Clover has various health benefits to offer because of its nutrient-dense composition. It has calcium, magnesium, zinc, potassium, vitamin C, niacin, iron, flavonols, and phenolic acid. The benefits of honey are significant for youngsters and elderly people equally.

You can find roughly 300 kinds of clover plants, but clover honey is usually made from white Clover (Trifolium repens) that blooms from spring to summer. Honeybees feed on the nectar, bringing it back to the hive, where it is sealed in honeycombs and hardened to a thick wax.
