Honey Powder

Honey powder is dried honey. It is made by dehydrating liquid honey, often with a drying agent like corn syrup solids or maltodextrin, to create a free-flowing powder. This process preserves the flavor of honey in a shelf-stable, easy-to-handle form.

Manufacturers use honey powder as a sweetener and flavor enhancer, especially where a liquid sweetener might alter texture or add too much moisture. It is commonly found in dry mixes, baked goods, snack coatings, and as an ingredient in spice blends.

Honey powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It provides the same simple sugars as liquid honey. JECFA has evaluated honey and established an acceptable daily intake. While honey is a natural product, like all sugars, excessive consumption can contribute to health issues.
