100% All-natural Honeybee Honey

Honey is a sweet, viscous food substance made by honey bees from the nectar of flowers. Bees collect nectar and store it in their honeycombs, where it is processed by enzymes and dehydrated to form honey. It is primarily composed of sugars, mostly fructose and glucose, along with water and small amounts of other compounds.

Manufacturers add honey primarily as a sweetener, providing a distinct flavor profile. It can also act as a humectant, helping to retain moisture in baked goods, and contributes to browning. Honey is commonly found in baked goods, cereals, sauces, and as a standalone sweetener.

Honey is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a natural sugar source. The WHO has noted that added sugars, including honey, should be limited in the diet. JECFA has evaluated honey and established specifications for its identity and quality. There are no widespread controversies regarding its use in typical food amounts.
