Honey

Buyer's Guide

• Honey is sweeter than granulated sugar.
  
• Honey should be stored in an opaque and airtight container.
  
• Avoid exposing honey to extreme temperatures and freezing.
  
• Honey is one of the oldest foods in existence. It was found in the tomb of King Tut and was still edible since honey never spoils.
  
• Honey contains vitamins and antioxidants, but is fat free, cholesterol free and sodium free. In fact, if you're not a spinach lover, eat honey because it has similar levels of heart-healthy antioxidants!
  
• Honey is the only food that includes all the substances necessary to sustain life, including water.
