Description

Honey is a sweet liquid that bees produce using nectar from flowers. People
throughout the world have hailed the health benefits of honey for thousands of years.

Honey is available raw or pasteurized and in a variety of color grades. On average, it contains about 80% sugar. People remove honey from the hive and bottle it directly, so it may also contain

trace amounts of yeast, wax, and pollen.
Some studies have found that consuming raw honey may help with seasonal allergies, and others have concluded that honey can help wounds heal. In this article, we explore the many uses of honey, including its nutritional properties and some risks to consider.
