A teaspoon of honey is a natural sweetener derived from the nectar of flowers, processed by bees and minimally refined. Prized for its rich flavor and smooth texture, honey has been a staple in cuisines worldwide, particularly in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and South Asian traditions. A single teaspoon contains roughly 21 calories, with no fat and trace amounts of vitamins and minerals such as potassium and antioxidants. Honey's natural sugars, primarily fructose and glucose, provide quick energy, making it a favored choice for athletes or as an alternative to refined sugar. Its antimicrobial properties and soothing qualities have also made it popular in remedies for sore throats and minor wounds. However, honey is high in sugar and should be consumed in moderation, especially by individuals managing blood sugar levels. Always choose raw or minimally processed varieties for maximum nutritional and health benefits.
