The white honey of Ramban with its distinct flavor, aroma, and taste is a treasure from the region. Popularly known as sulai honey, it is highly nutritional with strong antioxidant and immuno-modulatory potentials. The bees forage on the nectar of snow-white blossoms of Sulai during the month of August to October to produce this well-rounded, naturally sweet honey with floral undertones.

The produce

During August-October, Sulai honey is harvested primarily in the Banihal block of district Ramban. It is also called Acacia honey as it is produced by bees (Apis mellifera) fed on Acacia flowers produced in this region. The wild flora lends a unique taste and texture to the honey. Light golden in color with medium viscosity, the aroma and the taste remind of the sulai flora of Kashmir forest region.
