Honey Contains Plenty of Nutrition Honey contains plenty of vitamin B and C, as well as calcium and natural minerals. The tiny pollen in the honey are also very nutritious. |
The Sugar in Honey Is Composed of Honey consists of 80% sugar. This sugar is composed of glucose and fructose, which is a big difference from the multi-saccharide saccharose. The multi-saccharide saccharose is decomposed in the intestines and becomes mono-saccharides like glucose and fructose. All sugars are eventually turned into glucose, which is the source of our energy.
|
Honey Doesn't Harm the Stomach and the Intestines and Is Immediately Absorbed Glucose and fructose are mono-saccharides that appear in the form of
small glucide units. They are only absorbed in the intestines after
they have been decomposed into their smallest form. This means that
honey, which is in itself a mono-saccharide, is absorbed very quickly
in the body and does not harm the stomach or the intestines. Honey is
especially effective for weak, elderly people and for sportsmen/women
who need to replace their sugar reserves immediately.
|
Honey Is Sweeter than Sugar and Lower in Calories Honey is sweeter than sugar and lower in calories, which means
it is healthier for the body than sugar. If honey is used instead
of sugar in cooking, it gives the dishes a mellow flavor. Another
characteristic of honey is that flavor and taste differ according
to the flowers where the honey is taken from.
|
Honey Gets Sweeter when the Temperature Is Lowered Sugar gets sweeter when it is heated. Honey however, gets sweeter
when cooled down. Honey is especially suitable for desserts and
cold dishes.
