Honey is the ideal natural sweetener, exhibiting strong antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. It’s one of the most beloved natural products, not only for its rich aroma and distinctive taste but also as a nutritional food rich in minerals, proteins, organic acids, sugars, and vitamins. Since ancient times, it held a special place in the daily diet of ancient Greeks, known as the “Nectar of the gods,” and was used for its sweetening and primarily therapeutic properties.
Democritus, Hippocrates, and later Dioscorides considered honey a crucial factor for strengthening the body and promoting health.
