Honey is a natural sweetener produced by bees from flower nectar, used raw as a spread, stirred into drinks, or incorporated into baked goods, dressings and marinades. Per 100 g, it delivers 304 kcal, 0.3 g of protein, 0 g of fat, and 78.9 g of carbohydrates, of which 76.4 g are sugars — making it an almost purely sugar-based food with no dietary fibre. Among micronutrients, honey provides 52 mg of potassium and 25 mcg of vitamin K per 100 g, though all values are modest given that typical servings are small (around 15–20 g). No glycemic index value is available in this dataset. Honey fits vegetarian, pescatarian, gluten-free, dairy-free and Mediterranean dietary patterns, but is not suitable for vegan diets.
