Honey

Types of honey

Solid honey – all honey is liquid when freshly poured and stays liquid for a few months before it crystallizes and becomes solid. Solid honey has a light color and the sugar crystals are coarser than in liquid honey. The solid honey is good to use as a sweetener in tea or for baking.

Liquid honey - there are some types of honey that stay naturally liquid. One of the most well-known is the acacia honey, which never solidifies because it has a high fructose content and therefore stays naturally liquid. Liquid honey is used, among other things, to drizzle over yogurt or cheese.

Variegated honey – honey where more than half of the nectar comes from a particular type of flower is called varietal honey. In Sweden, the most common varieties of honey are heather honey and linden honey.

Use of honey

Commonly, honey is used as a sweetener in cooking, including in baked goods, sweets, tea and sweet drinks, as well as marinades. Which honey goes with what depends a lot on the taste and texture. Solid honey is good as a sweetener in tea or for baking, while liquid honey is used more for yogurt or cheese. In addition to food, honey can also be used in body care products.
