September 4: Sweeten Up Your Food with Honey on National Honey Month!
Honey is a highly valued ingredient because of the natural sweetness it brings to breakfasts, main courses, desserts and more. Its sticky texture makes it perfect for pouring over pancakes, but it can be enjoyed equally when used to glaze a savory joint of meat.
The collection of honey goes back more than 8,000 years, as evidenced by Spanish cave paintings. As a foodstuff, it predates the written word: honey was used as a sweetener in ancient Egypt, and continued to be enjoyed by the Greeks and Romans.
Europe has the highest consumption of honey per capita globally, and data shows that China is the biggest producer of the ingredient.
The rich golden color of pure honey means that it's as attractive as it is tasty. For this reason, some of the best food photographers in the world have captured images of honey drizzled over the top of various dishes. And if you're looking for some eye candy as well, take a look at the amazing online food recipes made by our Dishfolio food bloggers!
