Health Benefits of Honey
Honey contains an array of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and antioxidants. It is an all-natural, unprocessed ingredient making it the perfect clean label sweetener that consumers want.
Most “all-natural” sweeteners are processed. Heat, chemical additives, and ingredient manipulation are common practices to turn leaves, fruit and sap into powder or concentrated syrups. In contrast, one of the best benefits of using honey is that this syrup solely consists of honey.
