About Honey

The color and flavor of honey differ depending on the bees’ nectar source (the blossoms). In fact, there are more than 300 unique kinds of honey in the United States, originating from such diverse floral sources as Clover, Eucalyptus and Orange Blossoms. In general, lighter colored honeys are mild in flavor, while darker honeys are usually more robust in flavor.

Honey is a natural source of carbohydrates. It is about 38.5% fructose, 31% glucose, 17.1% water, maltose, sucrose, and other complex carbohydrates. Honey also contains many vitamins including B6, thiamin, niacin, riboflavin and pantothenic acid. Important minerals such as calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, zinc and sodium as well as several amino acids are all found in honey. Antioxidant compounds which can delay damage to cells and tissues, are also found in honey. So far, chrysin, pinobanksin, vitamin C, catalase and pinocembrin have been identified. Generally, darker honeys have higher concentrations of antioxidants than lighter honeys.
