Linden honey, also called basswood or lime honey, is a variety of honey made from the Linden blossoms nectar and pollen. Linden or basswood refers to about thirty tree species in the Tilia genus, all of which are nectar-producing and may serve as food for honey bees. The resulting honey is a high-quality monofloral variety with a medium taste intensity, a rich flavor profile and a number of health benefits, including a natural antibacterial action, antioxidant, mild cough-suppressing and expectorant effects.
