Sugar 4
-
Honey
Honey was used as a natural sweetener long before sugar became widely available in the 16th centaury
Honey is made by bees from the nectar they collect from flowers. It is a natural sweetener and can be used in sandwiches or on toast, or can be added to sweet and savoury dishes.
The flavour, colour and consistency vary, depending on the flower(s) the bees collected the nectar from and the production method. Normally, the darker the colour, the stronger the flavour.
Honey
Honey can be: clear and runny; thick and opaque; in a honeycomb; or a piece of cut honeycomb kept in runny honey.
Honey is a little lower on the glycaemic index (GI) than sugar, so is absorbed into the body at a slower rate
Honey is high in calories. It does vary, but, generally, a teaspoon of natural honey contains just over 20 calories, whereas a teaspoon of sugar around 17 calories
Maple syrup
Maple syrup is made from the sap of maple trees:
- A hole is drilled in the base of the maple tree. The sugary fluid that leaks out is collected in a container.
- The sugary fluid is boiled until most of the water evaporates, which leaves a thick sugary syrup. The syrup is then filtered to remove impurities
-
Maple syrup is about two-thirds sucrose (as is table sugar) and 100g of it supplies about 67g of sugar
