About Honey
Honey is the natural sweetener bees make from flower nectar, and one of the oldest in human history. Thick, golden and floral, it shifts in color and flavor with the flowers it came from, and sweetens everything from tea and toast to marinades and baking.
For all its natural image, honey is essentially sugar — a mix of fructose and glucose — and calorie-dense as a result, so the body treats it much like other sugars. What sets it slightly apart are the traces it carries: small amounts of antioxidants, enzymes and minerals, plus a flavor and sweetness that mean you can sometimes use a little less than you would table sugar.
It's a more characterful sweetener than refined sugar, but a sweetener all the same — best enjoyed for its flavor and used with the same moderation. One note: honey shouldn't be given to babies under a year old.
