Bakers seem to love honey. There are so many uses for honey in the kitchen, and honey is a key ingredient in many recipes. Honey is also great for skin care, and is often used to treat a variety of illnesses ranging from a common sore throat to more serious problems.

Antioxidants in honey are known to be helpful against disease. The relatively acidic pH level of honey, of between 3.2 and 4.5, prevents the growth of many bacteria.

About Honey

Honey is derived from the nectar of flowers. Honey is produced by bees as a food and energy source. Because of its unique composition, honey is suitable for long term storage and is still easily assimilated, even after a long shelf life. The place where you keep your honey should be dark and dry, preventing the honey from absorbing any moisture. If excessive moisture is introduced to honey, it may cause some fermenting to occur. This is normally not encountered, under typical storage conditions.

Is Honey A Vegan Food?

By most standards, vegans do not eat honey as it is considered an animal product. Vegans who consume honey argue that bees are insects not animals. This is a heavily debated issue among vegans. Therefore it really is a matter of preference or opinion as to whether it is suitable to call it a vegan food, but it certainly is not objected to by regular vegetarians.
