Sweetness

Best natural sweetener for health-conscious guests who still want calories — the antioxidants and enzymes are real, just modest. Use less volume than sugar to match sweetness.

Mean GI of 58 across 17 tested varieties (range 45-74 depending on floral source). Higher calorie density than sugar by tablespoon due to higher weight (21g vs 12.6g). Contains trace antioxidants, enzymes, and antimicrobial compounds — modest real benefit. Raw honey retains more bioactive content than processed. Not safe for infants under 12 months (botulism risk).

The Story

Nutty and rich with honey sweetness. A dessert cocktail ingredient that doesn't taste like dessert.
