What is Honey?
If we talk about bee products, honey is not something new. More than just a thick, sweet and brownish yellow colored liquid, honey also has a high and complete nutrition value which varies depending on the nectar source.
Honey is made from the nectar collected by bees from many different flowers. Bees store the honey in the honeycomb and use it as their food.
Since the ancient times, honey has been used not only as a natural sweetener, but is also used in healing. Many traditional recipes used honey as their basic component for promoting healing. During World War 1, Russian soldiers even used honey to prevent wound infection and promote wound healing.
Honey is rich in natural sugars fructose (38.5%) and glucose (31%) as well as other carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids, vitamins and minerals. It is known to be rich in antioxidants such as ascorbic acid, flavonoids and alkaloids.Benefits of Honey
