Premium Yemeni Sidr Honey

Sidr honey is a premium, monofloral honey produced from the nectar of the Sidr tree (Ziziphus spina-christi), which grows primarily in Yemen, parts of Saudi Arabia, and other regions in the Middle East. This honey is highly prized for its exceptional purity, rich flavor, and medicinal properties. Sidr honey has a dark amber color and a distinctive, complex taste that blends floral, herbal, and slightly sweet notes.

It is known for its potent antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, making it highly valued for promoting digestive health, boosting the immune system, and supporting overall well-being. Sidr honey is also considered one of the most luxurious and rare varieties due to its limited harvest and the specific conditions required for its production.

Sidr honey is expensive due to several factors:

Rarity – Sidr trees are found in remote regions of Yemen, making the honey difficult to source in large quantities.

Labor-Intensive Harvesting – Our Sacred Honey beekeepers follow traditional methods to harvest the honey, which is time-consuming and requires great care to ensure purity.


Purity – Sacred Sidr honey is known for its unmatched purity and health benefits, with minimal processing and no additives.

Limited Production – The bees gather nectar from specific Sidr trees, and the yield can be low, especially in seasons with unfavorable weather conditions.


High Demand – Sidr honey's reputation for quality and medicinal properties has led to global demand, increasing its value.

Yemeni Sidr Honey is produced from the Sidr tree in Yemen, known for its rich, complex flavour with floral and herbal notes. It is highly valued for its potent medicinal properties, including its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. Sidr honey is used for wound healing, gastrointestinal inflammation, and immune support, and is considered rare and pure due to its limited harvest.

Australian Manuka Honey comes from the Manuka tree in Australia, renowned for its strong antibacterial properties, driven by high levels of Methylglyoxal (MGO). It is also used for wound healing, infection treatment, and gut health, with its medicinal strength measured by the UMF rating while Sidr is measured by its T.A rating.

Both honeys are powerful medicinal options.

The T.A. rating (Total Activity) is a measure of the overall antibacterial potency of honey, particularly used for varieties like Sidr honey. It indicates the level of antibacterial activity present in the honey, which is crucial for its medicinal properties.

A higher T.A. rating signifies stronger antibacterial properties. For example, a T.A. rating of 10+ means the honey has significant antibacterial activity, while a rating of 20+ or higher indicates even more potent medicinal qualities.

MGO (Methylglyoxal) is a naturally occurring compound found in significant amounts in Manuka honey. It is a key factor contributing to the honey's strong antibacterial properties. MGO is formed during the process of nectar collection by bees from the Manuka flower, and its concentration is one of the primary indicators of the honey's potency.

The higher the MGO content, the stronger the antibacterial activity of the honey. This is why MGO levels are often used to grade Manuka honey, with higher MGO ratings signifying stronger medicinal properties, particularly for wound healing, infection prevention, and gut health.

Sidr honey can be used on wounds but it's crucial to ensure its purity with a c4 sugar test first. It is known for its powerful antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help promote healing and reduce the risk of infection. Sidr honey has been traditionally used for wound care, burns, and skin conditions due to its natural healing abilities.

When using Sidr honey on wounds, make sure to clean the wound properly before applying the honey, and cover it with a sterile bandage. It’s always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional, especially for larger or more serious wounds.
