Honey isn’t just honey anymore. At farmers
markets, grocery stores and restaurants, there’s a
wide assortment of honeys in various colors and
tastes, from far-away places and ones next door.
Why is a food that’s been part of the human diet
for millennia suddenly so trendy?
First, of course, honey is delicious and versatile.
It can be used in baking, dressings, marinades,
sauces, cocktails — in all sorts of dishes both
savory and sweet.
It is sweeter than straight sugar, so you can
use less.
Honey is produced all over the world, so as we
explore new cuisines, we’re seeing the many
ways honey can be utilized.
