Honey

Honey is a sugar-rich substance made by bees from plant nectar. The figures here describe honey of assorted types, rather than a specific variety or processing method. It mainly provides carbohydrate in the form of sugars. Per 100g, it contains 1229 kJ of energy, 76g of carbohydrate and 76g of sugars, with little protein and no fat or fibre.

The sugars in honey count as free sugars, which are relevant when considering overall sugar and energy intake. Honey still contributes to free sugar intake when used instead of table sugar in food or drinks. It provides only small amounts of vitamins and minerals. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
