Rare Dammer Bee Honey
Low glycaemic
The claim
The low-GI miracle: a rare sugar that prevents glucose spikes while fermenting in propolis.
The science
Stingless bee honey is biologically distinct from standard honey. It contains massive natural concentrations of trehalulose — a rare, low-glycaemic disaccharide that is absorbed slowly without causing rapid insulin spikes. Additionally, because the bees cure this honey inside propolis (medicinal tree resin) pots instead of wax, it naturally undergoes a mild, health-boosting fermentation process that supercharges its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
