Acacia Honey is also known as locust honey , is derived from the nectar of robinia pseudoacacia flower . It has a light , almost transparent color and stays liquid for longer , prolonging its shelf life . Conveniently , acacia honey remains liquid longer and crystallises much slower than traditional honey . This is likely due its high fructose content . Because it abstains from solidifying for longer , this honey is highly popular and can be more expensive than traditional types of honey . Nutritionally , acacia is made up of carbs in the form of sugars , and its rich in powerful plant compounds with antioxidant properties , which may contribute to its potential health benefits
