Unlike most honeys, Rubber Plant (Rubber Tree) Honey comes not from blossoms but from extrafloral nectaries on the young leaf stems of Hevea brasiliensis (para rubber tree). During the late dry-season leaf flush, these glands secrete a sweet sap that bees eagerly collect, producing one of the rarest tropical monofloral honeys. Its White color grade makes it especially prized for foodservice: pale, bright, and almost transparent—ideal for clear beverages, infusion jars, and pastry glazes where clarity and lightness are essential.
Robust flavor & quick, creamy crystallization
- Aroma: soft, fruity notes with apricot jam, candied citrus, and faint spring blossoms.
-
Flavor: a clean, mellow sweetness that develops into delicate fruit tones—stone fruit, sweet orange, and a touch of tropical warmth. The finish is smooth, never bitter, leaving only a graceful, tropical whisper.
-
Texture & stability: naturally pourable when fresh, but with its higher glucose ratio and 20–21% moisture content, this honey crystallizes quickly. Within weeks, it sets into ultra-fine, creamy crystals—never gritty—making it an excellent silky spread for toast, baking, or whipped formats. Gentle warming easily restores it to liquid. Rapid crystallization is a hallmark of purity, not a flaw.
Pure, Raw & Unfiltered integrity
Harvested once annually at the peak of the nectar flush, frames are collected as soon as they’re capped, extracted at ambient temperature, and gravity-strained only. Never heated, pasteurized, ultrafiltered, or blended. Every batch preserves its live enzymes, natural antioxidants, pollen traces, and aromatic compounds—authentic markers of raw, high-quality honey.

Why choose our Rubber Plant (Rubber Tree) Honey — 60-lb Bucket
This honey captures a botanical rarity: nectar not from flowers but from the secret sap of tropical rubber trees. Also called Rubber Plant Honey, it is sourced from Veracruz, Chiapas, Tabasco, and Oaxaca, and harvested only once per year during the fleeting leaf-flush season. Its White color grade, delicate fruity-floral flavor, higher natural moisture (20–21%), and fine crystallization make it an exceptional ingredient for chefs, bakers, mixologists, and foodservice professionals. Packed in a bulk-friendly 60-lb pail, it offers both the romance of the rainforest and the practicality of consistent supply at scale.
Do not feed honey to infants under 1 year of age.
