Honey

Honey is a natural sweetener produced by bees from flower nectar or honeydew. It is one of the oldest food products in the world and holds an irreplaceable place in the kitchen. It is used to sweeten drinks, in baking, for making marinades, dressings, and sauces. The flavour and aroma vary by origin, meadow honey is milder, while buckwheat honey is more robust and darker. It contains natural sugars, enzymes, vitamins, and antioxidants. At temperatures above 40°C, it loses some of its beneficial properties. Properly stored honey will not dry out or spoil, it is practically non-perishable.
