Acacia honey is derived from the nectar of the Robinia pseudoacacia flower, commonly known as the black locust or false acacia tree (1Trusted Source).
This unique honey is typically labeled and sold as acacia honey in Europe but is commonly found as American acacia or locust honey in the United States.
Compared with traditional honey, it's often much lighter in color, appearing almost transparent.
It has a flower-like aroma and sweet, delicate flavor.
Conveniently, acacia honey remains liquid longer and crystallizes much slower than traditional honey. This is likely due to its higher fructose content (2Trusted Source, 3Trusted Source).
Because it abstains from solidifying for longer, this honey is highly popular and can be more expensive than traditional types of honey.
