Honey is a sweet, sticky and viscous substance produced by honeybees from the nectar of flowers. It is a natural sweetener that is used in cooking and baking, as well as for medicinal purposes. Honey is high in sugar, but it also contains antioxidants, enzymes, and various vitamins and minerals. Its flavor and color can vary depending on the type of flowers the bees collect nectar from. Raw honey is often considered healthier than processed honey, as it retains more of its natural nutrients and enzymes.
