You probably have asked before “What’s so good about honey?”, “Why is this sweetener more superior than table sugar?”.

1) It is nutritious for you!: A much healthier choice than over-processed, factory-made table sugar table sugar and artificial sweeteners which do not have any vitamins or whatsoever nutrients, this natural liquid from the honey bees contains many vitamins like B6, thiamin, niacin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid and certain amino acids and minerals including calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and zinc.

The B6 vitamin, also known as pyridoxine, is one of the most versatile
of the B vitamins and yet the body only requires a relatively small

especially niacin, folic acid, and Cobalamin and contributes to
numerous functions in the body.
