Biblical Inspiration:
The Promised Land to the Israelites was described as “a land flowing with milk and honey” as a sign of its abundance and prosperity. [Exodus 3:6-8]
During the 40 years that the Children of Israel wandered in the desert, they were nourished from the heavens by food like a pastry fried in honey. They called it manna:
“The people of Israel called the bread manna. It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey.” [Exodus 16:31]. There is some commentary in the Talmud that state it was desert Sidr trees that provided this manna
The eyesight of Jonathan, the son of King Saul, improved after he ate raw sidr date honey
“…he reached out the end of the staff that was in his hand and dipped it into the honeycomb. He raised his hand to his mouth, and his eyes brightened.” [I Samuel 14:27]
The Book of Proverbs extols the benefits of raw honey possibly from the sidr tree.
