Honey

Everyday

Honey is a natural sweetener produced by honeybees through the enzymatic conversion of flower nectar, consisting primarily of fructose and glucose. Unlike refined sugars, it contains trace amounts of enzymes, antioxidants, and antimicrobial compounds that contribute to its historical use in both culinary and medicinal applications. The viscous liquid ranges from clear to amber in color, with flavor profiles and nutritional properties varying significantly based on the floral sources and minimal processing methods.
