100% Pure Organic 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 enzymes and evaporation transform it into honey. It is primarily composed of fructose and glucose, with smaller amounts of other sugars, water, and trace amounts of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids.

Manufacturers use honey as a natural sweetener in a wide variety of foods, including baked goods, cereals, yogurts, and sauces. Its distinct flavor can also contribute to the taste profile of products. Honey can also act as a humectant, helping to retain moisture in baked goods.

Honey is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a natural sweetener and is often chosen as an alternative to refined sugars. While honey contains antioxidants, the amounts are typically small. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated honey and its components. It is not recommended for infants under one year of age due to the risk of infant botulism.
