What it is
Honey-coated sliced almonds are almonds that have been coated with honey, often along with other ingredients like sugar or corn syrup. The honey provides sweetness and helps bind the coating to the almonds, which are the edible seeds of the almond tree.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add honey-coated almonds to foods primarily for their sweet flavor and crunchy texture. They are commonly found in breakfast cereals, granola bars, trail mixes, and baked goods.
Health notes
Honey is primarily composed of sugars, which provide calories and can impact blood sugar levels. The FDA recognizes honey as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for use in food. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated honey and its components. While generally considered safe in moderation, excessive intake of added sugars, including those from honey, is linked to various health concerns according to dietary guidelines.
