Honey - nature'so sweetener full of nutrients
Honey is a natural sweet substance produced by bees from flower nectar. It contains fructose, glucose, enzymes, vitamins, and antioxidants. Varieties include wildflower, linden, acacia, and honeydew honey. Used as a sweetener, in baking, marinades, and traditional medicine for its antibacterial properties.
- Bees need nectar from about two million flowers to produce one kilogram of honey.
- Thanks to low moisture and acidic pH, honey practically never spoils.
- Honey colour ranges from nearly transparent to dark brown depending on the nectar source.
- Honey should not be given to children under one year due to the risk of botulism.
