What it is
This is a pure, natural sweetener harvested from the nectar of flowers. It is a viscous liquid produced by bees. This honey is a single-ingredient product, meaning it contains only honey without any added sugars or artificial ingredients. Its natural sweetness comes from fructose and glucose, providing a rich flavor profile.
How people cook with it

You can stir honey directly into hot or cold drinks like tea or coffee to add sweetness. For baking, it can be used as a sugar substitute in cakes, cookies, and muffins, often requiring slight adjustments to liquid content. In savory cooking, honey is excellent for creating glazes for roasted meats or vegetables, providing a beautiful caramelization and a touch of sweetness. It can also be incorporated into salad dressings or marinades for an added layer of flavor.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike granulated sugar, honey is a liquid sweetener with a distinct floral or earthy flavor depending on its floral source. It also has a different sweetness intensity and can contribute moisture and browning to baked goods due to its sugar composition and water content.
