To know more about honey

Honey is the nutrient produced by bees starting from the nectar of flowers or from the secretions of living parts of the plants, which bees collect, transform, combine with their own substances, and finally deposit in the honeycombs. Inside the apiary the collected substances are changed from bee to bee several times. This allows for a gradual maturing process and the enrichment with enzymes deriving from the secretions of the bees' glands.
The main components of honey are fructose, glucose, water, other sugars and various substances amongst which organic acids, mineral salts, enzymes, aromas and many others. Honey is a highly nutritious type of food with can be easily absorbed. Glucose provides immediately usable energy, while fructose is metabolized in the liver and provides an energy reserve. 100 grams of honey contain 320 calories. Honey is sweeter than table sugar. It mainly contains monosaccharide, meaning that this results in better digestion.
Glucose immediately enters the blood circulation and can therefore immediately be used, while fructose is consumed much slower and thereby guarantees for a gradual uptake of energy.
Honey is not a complete nutrient as it lacks vitamins and proteins.
Crystallisation is a natural process which mainly depends on the composition (relation between glucose and fructose) and on the temperature (max. 14ºC). If the content of glucose is higher, crystallisation will occur faster. Low temperatures slow it down.
