Youm al-Asl

Libia produce una de las mieles más finas del Norte de África, y la miel del Jabal Nafusa y del Jebel Akhdar es particularmente apreciada. La miel proviene de flores silvestres (especialmente tomillo y romero), y es oscura, rica y de sabor intenso. El día celebra a los apicultores, la miel y la tradición de servir miel con dátiles y mantequilla en cada reunión importante. La miel libia se utiliza en la cocina (especialmente en zabadia y otros dulces), en la medicina (miel y jengibre para los resfriados) y en cosmética (miel y aceite de oliva para la piel).
