Honey is known to be an excellent natural source of carbohydrates. The usual composition of honey is (approximately): 17% water, 82.5% carbohydrates, and 0.5% protein. Honey has no fat at all! This gap will be completed by the nuts, which contain benefits for the body omega-3 fats but also a multitude of other elements, crucial for the human body.
These Greek nuts are rich in omega-3 fats. Antioxidants, polyphenols, arginine, vitamins B and E, and trace elements, in combination with honey properties, give energy to the human body and promote not only its physical functions but also the mental functions, such as memory, concentration, and the ability to learn.
The Souka family has been producing honey for more than half a century. Grandfather Nikolaos, a man of nature, was the first to love the bees, whereas he started his first beehives on the mountain of his heart, Helmos. He conveyed the same love to his son George, founder of "HELMOS BEEKEEPING" in Ano Lousos, Kalavrita.
Today, his four children, united by the unbreakable bonds of a hive with love and know-how, continue the tradition and produce 15 different varieties of honey such as thyme, fir, vanilla spruce, flowers, pine, oak, arbutus, heather, orange, polygonum, acacia, chestnut, eucalyptus, carob, pine thyme, organic honey, pollen, royal jelly, honey derivatives, brittles, and beeswax cream.
