Chios Honey “The Queen & The Sea” 450gr-15.87oz

Description

From the bee in the jar it starts with the nectar that the bees collect from the flowers and the secretions of honey forest plants or insects. The enzymes in their saliva break down sucrose into glucose and fructose, which are stored in the honeycombs to nourish the hive during the winter. In the honeycomb the excess water evaporates through the constant ventilation from the bees’ wings.

Its main nutrients are carbohydrates (glucose and fructose), proteins, B vitamins, amino acids, enzymes, trace elements (calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc). In terms of caloric value, a spoon, which is equivalent to about 21 g, gives 64 calories, while the corresponding amount of sugar has 84 calories.
