How can we distinguish between the different types of Sidr honey?

The colors of different types of Sidr honey can be distinguished by observing the following:

light yellow or transparent

It is the most common color in Sidr honey, and indicates the purity of the honey and the high percentage of nectar in it.

dark yellow or orange

This is due to the increased percentage of pollen or the presence of some impurities, and the honey has a heavier consistency.

dark brown

This occurs as a result of wax leaking out during the filtration process, which changes the color of the honey.

Presence of white deposits

It indicates the presence of sugar crystals resulting from the crystallization of excess sugars in honey.

red or pink honey

It is rarely found, and is caused by the presence of pigments from some red flowers.
Color, texture and impurities provide clear indicators for distinguishing and classifying Sidr honey.
Sidr honey varies in color from light yellow to dark yellow, brown, and transparent. This variation is primarily due to the varying proportions of nectar, pollen, and some impurities that may be mixed with the honey during storage and processing.
