Honey and recipes with honey

Honey is a sweet, viscous liquid produced by bees from flower nectar.

It is a popular food ingredient, used as a sweetener in many dishes and beverages.

Honey is rich in sugars, including glucose and fructose, making it an effective source of energy. It is also rich in antioxidants, such as ascorbic acid and phenylacetic acid, which help strengthen the immune system and protect the body from diseases.

Honey also contains enzymes, vitamins, and minerals, such as vitamin B6, niacin, folic acid, iron, magnesium, potassium, and zinc, which are beneficial for health.

Honey has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help in treating sore throats, coughs, and other respiratory diseases.

However, due to its high sugar content, honey should be consumed in moderation, especially if you are on a diet or have diabetes. Children under one year of age should not consume honey due to the risk of botulism.

Honey can be used as a sugar substitute. It is sweeter than sugar, so less of it is used. It is also worth adding less liquid ingredient due to honey’s fluidity.

Honey is an important ingredient in gingerbread and gingerbread cookies, which is why I use the most of it in winter :)
