Haile Honey
The honey is free of antibiotics, pesticides, and pollutants. Our organic honey has been tested by Ethiopian Conformity Assessment Enterprise as well as Bless Agri. Food Laboratory Services PLC and the results show that the moisture content is less than 20% and pesticide residue less than 0.01 mg/kg which shows that the honey is one of the best products produced in the country.
Honey is also a nutritional powerhouse, containing glucose, fructose, and numerous minerals including calcium, iron, copper, phosphate, sodium chlorine, magnesium, manganese, and potassium. Vitamins in honey include B6, niacin, riboflavin, thiamin, pantothenic acid and a number of amino acids. It is also quite acidic with a pH between 3.2. and 4.5 which helps to prevent the growth of bacteria. It is also rich with protective antioxidants.
The honey is collected from the traditional and modern beehives that are harvested directly from the natural forests of Sheka. Haile Honeyâ„¢ shall hit the European market after completion of the ongoing expansion project at our facility in Masha Town.
