What it is

Orange blossom honey is a type of honey produced by bees that collect nectar primarily from the flowers of orange trees. It is known for its distinct floral aroma and citrusy flavor. The honey's color can range from pale yellow to amber.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use orange blossom honey as a natural sweetener and flavor enhancer in a variety of foods. Its unique taste complements both sweet and savory dishes, making it a popular ingredient in baked goods, sauces, marinades, and salad dressings.

Health notes

Orange blossom honey is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. Like other honeys, it is primarily composed of sugars and contains trace amounts of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. While some studies suggest potential health benefits associated with honey consumption, such as antimicrobial properties, these are typically observed at levels higher than those usually consumed in food products. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated honey, and it is widely consumed globally.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Honey is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens.
