Health Tip


Using honey frequently, especially in place of other sweeteners, makes good nutritional sense. In a recent review of related literature, Dr. Susan Percival of the University of Florida's Food Science and Human Nutrition Department found that honey contains trace amounts of a wide array of vitamins, minerals and amino acids. Honey contains antioxidants as well. In a separate scientific review, microbiologist Richard F. Stier found that honey's unique composition makes it an effective antimicrobial agent, useful for treating minor burns and scrapes. More exciting research is underway to discover other health benefits of honey. In the meantime, you can feel good about making life a little bit sweeter-with honey!

Honey Facts

The first thing to consider when using honey to cook with is that it is judged to be twice (2 X) as sweet as sugar. Therefore, to get the same sweetness as sugar, you use one half as much as you would of sugar.
The formula for using honey in cooking also makes use of what we know about the composition of honey.

Honey is about 18% water. If you round that off to 20% you can easily figure that about 1/5th of the honey you add to your recipe is water. Therefore, you cut back on the moisture in your recipe by 20% (1/5th).
Examples
Figuring how much honey to substitute.
  • Recipe uses 1 cup of sugar.
  • Since you know that honey is twice as sweet as sugar, you use 1/2 cup of honey.
Figuring how much water to use.
  • Same recipe uses 1 cup of water
  • Since you used 1/2 cup of honey, you can figure that 20% (1/5th) of that 1/2 cup of honey (or 1/10th cup) is water.

  • So you cut back on the water in the recipe by 1/10th cup, and end up adding 9/10th cup of water, instead of a full cup.
