IS HONEY HEALTHIER THAN SUGAR?

Yes. Sugar is higher on the glycemic index (GI), that means it raises blood sugar levels faster. Sugar has higher fructose content and doesn’t have trace minerals. Honey is sweeter than sugar so less is required.

Notes

ADAM AND JOANNE'S TIPS

  • The acid from the apple cider vinegar brings out all the flavors of the toddy without making it taste too sweet. The drink tastes great without it as well, but if you have cider vinegar in your pantry, give it a try.
  • Tea is a nice variation. We’ve tried chamomile, ginger and even a black tea before. All were nice, but the black tea really stood out as a favorite — especially with dark rum.
  • Nutrition Facts: The nutrition facts provided below are estimates. We have used the USDA Supertracker recipe calculator to calculate approximate values.

Sticky Asian Chicken Wings

Because the wings get a good bit of char, the type ofhoney you use isn't as important here (it'll lose its subtler nuances). Thoughwe remove the skin from the wings, you'd never know it--they pick up an irresistiblecrispy crunch as the glaze cooks under the broiler. Give yourself a better gripwhen skinning each wing by holding it with a paper towel in one hand andpulling the skin with another paper towel in the other hand.

  • When applied to the skin, honey can be part of an effective healing plan for burns, wounds or any skin conditions. 
  • For children over the age of 1 years old, honey can be used as a natural cough suppressant.

Did you know?

If honey is properly stored, it can’t go off or spoil. Prevent fermentation by keeping honey containers tightly sealed.

Raw honey contains pollen, enzymes and other micronutrients that are usually filtered out in processed honey.
