About Honey
Honey is one of the oldest sweeteners still in everyday use, drizzled over porridge and yoghurt, stirred into tea, or used in baking and glazes where its distinct floral notes and stickiness bring something table sugar can't quite match.
Nutritionally, it's concentrated sugar: 100 g contains 304 kcal and 82.4 g of carbohydrate, with negligible protein and no fat. Small traces of potassium (52 mg), iron (0.42 mg) and vitamin C (0.5 mg) are present, but not in amounts that meaningfully change its overall profile — the minerals in honey come from the plants the bees foraged on, and vary batch to batch, though never in large enough quantities to offset the sugar content. It's best thought of and used the same way as any other added sugar: fine in moderation as part of an otherwise balanced diet, but not a substitute for whole fruit or other naturally sweet foods when it comes to nutritional value. A teaspoon stirred through warm water or tea is usually plenty to notice the flavour.
