What is "honey"?

Honey is a natural sweetener produced by honey bees from the nectar of flowers. It is widely used in cooking, baking, and as a spread on bread or toast. Honey varies in color and flavor depending on the floral source of the nectar, with options ranging from light and mild to dark and robust. In addition to its sweet taste, honey offers various health benefits, including antioxidant properties and potential antimicrobial effects. It contains small amounts of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes, though these can vary depending on the type of honey. Honey has been used for centuries as a natural remedy for sore throats, coughs, and wounds due to its soothing and antibacterial properties. However, it is important to note that honey should not be given to infants under one year of age due to the risk of botulism.
