California Coriander Honey

California Coriander Honey - 9 oz jar

Created by bees in the Sacramento Valley of California -- this specialty honey is nothing like the wild European coriander honeys I have tasted before.

Spicy with cardamom and ginger, with a hint of lime, this gourmet honey has a unique-ness and kick that will not disappoint. Coriander is used extensively in California as an inter-crop plant to help control aphid infestations, especially in the lettuce fields.

When intercropped with the lettuce and allowed to flower, they attract beneficial insects such as hoverflies, the larvae of which eat up to 150 aphids per day before they mature into flying adults. Coriander is the seed of the cilantro plant.
