Honey

[Kingsland]

Does honey contain the same amount of carbohydrate as sugar?

If not slightly more...

Yes, it is virtually all carbs, no fat, no fibre, no protein. Empty carbohydrate. Tastes good though!

Honey and Golden Syrup are both approximately 80% sugar, I presume most of the rest is water. Wikipedia says "Honey bees transform saccharides into honey by a process of regurgitation, a number of times, until it is partially digested. The bees do the regurgitation and digestion as a group." My children used to delight in calling honey "bee vomit"!!!

I used to have half a teenspoon of honey in my coffee,I love coffee but cant take it without a little sweet taste,I guess the small amount of honey didnt do much harm,but I now have Truvia.
