What it is
Wildflower honey is a natural sweetener produced by honeybees from the nectar of various flowering plants. The specific floral sources vary by region and season, giving each type of wildflower honey a unique flavor profile. Bees collect nectar, process it, and store it in honeycombs where it ripens into honey.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use wildflower honey primarily as a sweetener and flavor enhancer in a wide range of food products. Its distinct taste adds complexity to baked goods, cereals, yogurts, and beverages. It can also contribute to the browning and moisture retention in some baked items.
Health notes
Wildflower honey is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a natural source of sugars and contains trace amounts of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. While generally considered safe for adults, honey should not be given to infants under one year of age due to the risk of infant botulism. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated honey and established guidelines for its quality.
Allergen info
Wildflower honey is not derived from any of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
