Honey is suitable for sweetening a snack, delicious on a toast or in your smoothie. Try also with porridge, natural yoghurt, berries or pancakes. In cooking, honey gives a beautiful baking surface and emphasizes other flavors. It is worth experimenting with sauces, frying and oven dishes, for example on the surface of roots or a fish.
Honey is a good sweetener. It has been studied that its calorie count is 20% lower than that of sugar and that a person perceives it 1.3 times sweeter than sugar. Thus 70g (231kcal) of honey equals 100g (406kcal) sugar. Due to its antibacterial qualities it even for a sore throat, best enjoyed straight from the jar.
Honey is a 100% natural product and ready when the bees have decided so. They add the necessary enzymes to the honey, dry it and finally cover it with a wax cover. Nothing is added to honey or beeswax , and nothing is taken away from it. So the beekeeper does not participate in their preparation. One bee collects about a teaspoon of honey during its lifetime.
