What it is

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 sugars like fructose and glucose, with smaller amounts of water, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes.

Why it's used

Honey is widely used as a natural sweetener in a variety of foods, including baked goods, cereals, and beverages. Its distinct flavor and moisture-retaining properties also make it a valuable ingredient in sauces, marinades, and processed snacks like cookies and crackers.

Health notes

In the US, honey is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of carbohydrates and contains antioxidants. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated honey, and EFSA has also reviewed its safety. While generally considered safe for most people, raw honey should not be given to infants under one year old due to the risk of botulism.

Allergen info

Honey is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
