Honey is loved for its sweetness, but how does it stack up on calories? Here's a clear comparison with other sweeteners and how to enjoy it.
What makes honey different?
Unlike refined sugar, honey is 100% natural, made by bees from flower nectar, with flavours that vary by floral source. Manuka honey is known for its methylglyoxal (MGO) content, the marker we grade and certify.
Calories in honey
A teaspoon of honey contains roughly 21 calories and about 5 g of sugar — similar to refined sugar (about 16 calories per teaspoon). A tablespoon is around 64 calories and 17 g of sugar. Honey is made up of natural sugars, mainly fructose and glucose.
A bit more than just sweetness
Alongside its sugars, honey naturally contains antioxidant compounds such as flavonoids and polyphenols, plus trace vitamins and minerals. It's still a sugar, though, so enjoy it in moderation.
Using honey in cooking & baking
Substitute about 3/4 cup of honey for each cup of sugar.
Reduce other liquids by about 1 tablespoon per cup of honey.
Drizzle over yoghurt, oats or fruit; use in dressings and marinades.

Die Bestellung wurde sofort bestätigt und sehr schnell und. Der Honig ist ausgezeichnet. Mein Mann hatte ein Glas geschenkt bekommen, seine Reflux Symptome in der Nacht sind durch die regelmäßige Einnahme verschwunden. Etwa Zwei Wochen nachdem das Glas leer war, kamen die Symptome wieder. Der Honig ist tatsächlich ein Wunder Honig ☺️
