My experience
According to the experience of my shop and customers, many of them take medlar honey to alleviate the effects of chemotherapy. I have not found this in any book or scientific article. This property is only the experience of clients and doctors I have talked to.

4. Indications
The crystallization of this raw honey is very fast and tends to form two phases due to its high moisture content. This form of crystallization consists of a majority crystallization, and in the upper part of it there is a dark, liquid, uncrystallized phase.
If we find these two phases in raw loquat honey, this is a peculiarity of this product. In case we find this, stir the honey well with a spoon until it is homogeneous and the phases are not distinguished.
Another peculiarity of its crystallization is that it forms thick and irregular crystals that can remind us of the texture of sugar, but it has nothing to do with white sugar.
5. Origin

- Sala e Higón: Packer located in Turis, a village in the province of Valencia.
Therefore, this honey comes from the beautiful and well-kept orchards of Valencia.
