Sidr honey in Morocco: the complete guide
Why Sidr honey is so prized, how to choose it and how to keep it.
Sidr honey comes from the jujube tree, called “sedra” in Morocco. It is one of the most appreciated honeys in the Arab world.
Why it is prized
The jujube flowers for a short time and grows in dry areas, so harvests are small. Its creamy texture and caramel taste make it a favourite for guests and gifts.
How to choose it
Ask for the region and the harvest year. Real Sidr is thick and golden to amber, and it can crystallise slowly.
How to keep it
At room temperature, closed, away from the sun. No fridge needed.
