Sidr honey is purely natural. It is obtained
from beehives located in the northern regions mainly Meerah Shareef The rich,
fertile soil of these zones is famous for natural Sidr tree crops. Sidr honey
is made from bees that feed only on nectar from the tree Sidr (Sidr tree is
also known as jujube tree). We travel this far each year at the harvesting time
of Sidr honey because this area hold the largest and the oldest Sidr Tree
Forest.
It is said that hundreds of years ago, Sidr
honey was given as gift to kings and princes, to express appreciation and loyalty. Sidr honey is slightly expensive than other raw organic honeys as it is harvested for a limited time in the year and is a mono floral honey which strictly means that the honey bees are exclusively fed on Sidr flowers.
After Extraction our honey is unheated,
unpasteurised and unfiltered so all the natural vitamins, enzymes are preserved.
It does not contain any added sugar. Being
mono floral holds great value for quality of Sidr honey.
Sidr honey is a raw, pure, and original
product of Pakistan. Under strict hygienic conditions Sidr honey is filtered without using any heating and stored in food grade containers to supply this
product to all customers as per their requirement through out the year.
It was mentioned in the Qur’an, and the
prophet recommends it for any kind of illness of the body.
‘Honey is a remedy for every illness and the
Qur’an is a remedy for all illness of the mind, therefore I recommend to you both remedies, the Qur’an and honey.’
The SIDR tree
Also known as Lote tree, Christ’s Thorn,
Jujube, Nabkh, Elb, Ber, Bairi tree.
Sidr is the formal Arabic name and comes
from the name of the Sidr tree that is mentioned in the Holy Quran.

Ziziphus spina-christi. They are indeed related, both subspecies of Ziziphus.

and the flowers are yellow.
The fruits of sidr trees are round and
yellowish but turn to a more reddish color when mature. They have a very
high-energy value, though there are other fruits more valuable: dates, figs,
raisins, and few other dried fruits.
The sidr fruit was the first thing Prophet
Adam (pbuh) ate when he was made to descend to earth. The tree was used during
the time of King Suleiman (pbuh) and the Pharaohs used it to build palaces and
temples.
It is an ancient tree, mentioned four times
in the Qur’an. In Sura Saba, it is mentioned as an earth tree while in other
Suras, it is mentioned as a paradise tree (Sidrat al-Muntaha).
