Natural Honey Powder

Natural honey powder is made from liquid honey that has been dried. The drying process removes most of the water content, resulting in a granulated or powdered form of honey. This makes it easier to handle and incorporate into dry food mixes.

Manufacturers add honey powder primarily as a sweetener and flavor enhancer. It provides the taste of honey without the liquid's stickiness or moisture content. It is often found in dry mixes for baked goods, cereals, snacks like popcorn, and in some yogurts.

Honey is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is primarily composed of sugars, which can contribute to calorie intake. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends limiting intake of free sugars, including those from honey, as part of a healthy diet. JECFA has evaluated honey and established specifications for its quality.
