It was also valued in the Middle Ages. But then he fell into oblivion. Sour honey is now celebrating its big comeback.
Derived from the Greek terms sour (oxy) and honey (meli), it means something like sour honey. It has its origins in Arabic culture. Under the name Sekanjabin, it has been proving its worth as a universal household remedy for 2,500 years.

Even the basic ingredients honey and apple cider vinegar have healing and immune-boosting powers. The honey alone contains antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, immune and nerve-strengthening, digestive and sleep-promoting ingredients as well as strength-giving minerals and trace elements, vitamins, enzymes and amino acids.
