There is no such thing as "white honey" or "black honey." Honey's color can vary from light amber to dark brown, but this is due to the types of flowers the bees collect nectar from, not a separate type of honey.
Here's a breakdown of the factors that influence honey color:
- Floral Source: Different flowers produce nectar with varying sugar compositions and pigments. For example, honey from clover blossoms is typically light in color, while buckwheat honey is dark.
- Processing: Honey's color can also be affected by how it's processed. For instance, heating honey can darken its color.
- Age: Honey can darken over time, particularly if it's exposed to light or heat.
Therefore, the terms "white honey" and "black honey" are not accurate descriptors of honey types.
