Honey

The world has been made sweeter by honey for hundreds of years (via Smithsonian). Honey should always be present in your cupboard in addition to its many uses and possible health advantages. A 2009 study found that increasing "good" HDL cholesterol and lowering "bad" LDL cholesterol may be accomplished by consuming a daily amount of honey. The honey that comes to mind as being the most popular is sold at the grocery shop in a little bear-shaped squeeze tube. This honey often has a moderate flavor and is well-rounded, making it appropriate for most uses.

Additionally, there are artisanal variants made from buckwheat, lavender, or clover. It follows that the honey was produced by bees that collect nectar from these specific plants. Honey is sweeter than sugar, therefore you should use half as much of it in place of brown sugar, as advised by Big Island Bees. Due to the high water content of honey, you should reduce the other liquid ingredients in baking by 14 cups for every cup of honey. Due to honey's low heat tolerance, you should lower your oven's temperature by 25 degrees to prevent your baked items from burning. To lessen acidity and lighten the density, add 14 teaspoons of baking soda to 1 cup of honey.
