Turkey has a wide variety of honey products and most of the honeys are endemic. There are many endemic honey samples in Anatolia that have not been investigated yet. Since natural honey has special benefits due to its many bioactive ingredients, it is still a challenge to classify and characterize different honey samples. In this study, an endemic and rare honey sample from the mountainous and almost uninhabited region of Tuzluca, Iğdır is reported. Honey sample is characterized by the means of antioxidant and antidiabetic capacities, nitrite and nitrate content, fructose/glucose ratio. Results indicate that the reported honey sample has unique characteristics.
