What it is

Powdered honey is dried honey. It is made by removing the water from liquid honey, often through spray drying or freeze drying. This process results in a fine, free-flowing powder that retains the flavor of honey.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use powdered honey as a sweetener and flavor enhancer. Its powdered form makes it easy to incorporate into dry mixes, coatings, and baked goods where liquid honey might alter the texture. It is often found in bread mixes, snack coatings, and some confectionery.

Health notes

In the US, powdered honey is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a natural sugar source, and like other sugars, excessive intake can contribute to caloric intake. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated honey and its components. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Powdered honey is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
