Sidr Honey: Benefits, Price in Pakistan (2026), and How to Spot Fake Honey
Quick answer: Sidr honey (known as beri honey in Pakistan) is a dark, premium honey harvested from the blossoms of the Sidr/jujube tree. It’s prized for its rich flavour and traditional use for immunity, digestion, and sore throats. Genuine Sidr honey in Pakistan typically costs ₨3,500–₨6,000 per kg, with rare Yemeni Sidr going much higher. Because it’s famous and expensive, Sidr is also the most faked honey in Pakistan — so purity checks matter more than the label.
We’re a Gilgit-Baltistan beekeeping family, and we’ll be upfront: we don’t produce Sidr honey — our mountains grow different blossoms (Robinia, Russian Olive, wild herbs). But Sidr is one of the most-searched honeys in Pakistan, and you deserve honest information, even about a honey we don’t sell.
What Is Sidr Honey?
Sidr honey comes from bees foraging on the flowers of the Sidr tree (Ziziphus, the jujube or beri tree), which grows mainly in Pakistan’s southern and KPK regions and across the Middle East. The trees bloom briefly and yield little honey per hive, which is why real Sidr is scarce and pricey.
Sidr Honey Benefits
Traditionally, Sidr honey is valued for:
- Immune support thanks to its antioxidant content
- Digestive comfort and gut health
- Soothing coughs and sore throats, especially in winter
- Use as a premium natural sweetener
As with all honey: it’s a supportive food, not a medicine, and it won’t cure disease. Diabetics should consult a doctor before regular use.
Sidr Honey Price in Pakistan (2026)
| Grade | Typical price per kg |
|---|---|
| Local genuine Sidr / beri | ₨3,500 – ₨6,000 |
| Premium / imported Sidr | ₨7,000 – ₨15,000+ |
| Suspiciously cheap “Sidr” | Below ₨2,000 (likely fake) |
If someone sells “pure Sidr honey” at ₨1,500/kg year-round in unlimited quantity, be sceptical — genuine single-bloom honey doesn’t work that way. Compare with our full pure honey price in Pakistan guide.
How to Spot Fake Sidr Honey
Because it’s the most faked honey in Pakistan:
- Buy from a producer who can name the harvest region and season.
- Be wary of perfectly uniform, cheap, always-in-stock “Sidr.”
- Do the simple home purity tests — water test, tissue test, crystallization check.
Sidr vs Our Gilgit Honeys
If you want a dark, bold honey but genuine Sidr is out of budget or you can’t verify it, our Russian Olive honey is an aromatic, winter-friendly alternative we harvest ourselves and can fully trace. For daily mildness, Robinia honey is our most popular. See the full comparison in which honey is best in Pakistan.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Sidr honey?
Sidr honey (beri honey) is a dark, premium honey made by bees foraging on the blossoms of the Sidr/jujube tree. It is valued for its rich flavour and traditional use for immunity, digestion, and sore throats.
What is the price of Sidr honey in Pakistan?
Genuine local Sidr honey typically costs ₨3,500–₨6,000 per kg in 2026, while premium or imported Sidr can cost ₨7,000 or more. Honey sold as Sidr below ₨2,000 per kg is likely adulterated.
Why is Sidr honey so expensive?
Sidr trees bloom only briefly and produce little honey per hive, so supply is small. High demand and single-origin rarity push the price up — and its fame makes it the most faked honey in Pakistan.
How can I tell if Sidr honey is pure?
Buy from a producer who names the harvest region and season, avoid suspiciously cheap year-round stock, and run simple home tests like the water test and tissue test after purchase.
Do you sell Sidr honey?
No. We harvest Robinia, Russian Olive, and Herbal honey in Gilgit-Baltistan. If you want a bold, traceable alternative to Sidr, our Russian Olive honey is a good match.
