Honey and comb

Honey and comb is honey eaten together with the beeswax honeycomb in which it is stored. These figures describe the honey and comb together, rather than honey alone. It mainly provides carbohydrate in the form of sugars. Per 100g, it contains 74g of carbohydrate, all of which is sugar, along with 4.6g of fat and 0.6g of protein.

The sugars in honey are classed as free sugars, which contribute to energy intake and can contribute to tooth decay. This sugar content is worth noting when monitoring sugar or overall energy intake. Honey and comb provides little protein and only small amounts of vitamins and minerals. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.
