About Honey

Honey is a natural sweetener produced by bees from floral nectar. Rich in carbohydrates, primarily fructose and glucose, it provides quick energy. Trace nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants contribute to its reputation as a healthful food. Honey has been used across global cuisines for thousands of years, from ancient Egyptian medicinal recipes to Asian desserts and European baked goods. Raw honey is prized for its potential antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, supporting wound healing and soothing sore throats. It may also help manage allergies when sourced locally. However, honey is high in sugar and calories, making moderation key to maintaining balanced nutrition. It’s unsuitable for infants younger than one year due to the risk of botulism. Always choose quality honey free from additives for maximum benefit and flavor.
