Sundarban mangrove forest honey (also called Mouban or mangrove honey) is a wild, multifloral honey collected from the world’s largest mangrove ecosystem spanning India and Bangladesh.

It is typically golden to reddish-brown, thicker, and has a distinctive earthy, slightly smoky or salty-tinged flavor. It holds Geographical Indication (GI) status in both India and Bangladesh.
