Liquid honey

Liquid honey is a natural and sweet ingredient, obtained directly from the hives where bees process flower nectar. It is characterized by its fluid texture and its sweet and aromatic flavor, which can vary depending on the flowers from which the nectar comes.

Its origin has been valued since ancient times in various cultures for its nutritional and medicinal properties, in addition to its use in cooking. Liquid honey is very versatile and is used to sweeten beverages, desserts, dressings, and sauces, as well as to add moisture and flavor to breads and pastries.

Among its main properties, its natural content of simple sugars (glucose and fructose), enzymes, antioxidants, and small amounts of vitamins and minerals stand out. Furthermore, liquid honey has an antibacterial effect and can aid digestion and the immune system.

In different regions of Latin America, liquid honey may have various synonyms, such as jamiel, melao, miel de abejas, although the most common and recognized term remains liquid honey. Its use in recipes is very popular in both traditional dishes and modern preparations.
