If You Want Something Sweet With "No Mess", Try Sugar Honey

By John Adams

We all know it's unhealthy to eat a lot of sugar, but frequently, we just have to satisfy that familiar sweet tooth. Unfortunately, substitute sugar choices are much less healthy than the real thing, with chemically based sweeteners like aspartame, saccharine, or Splenda. Although these things have few to no calories, they're not without their risks. Some people are very responsive to them and can't have them. We also don't know just what the long-term health consequences of eating these substances are. Honey is a great alternative to this, but you can't just buy honey in convenient quantities, always, and store it for long term use. It's inconvenient to use, and it can be messy as well.

Luckily, there's an alternative. Organic honey crystals have all of the convenience of sugar (as well as the long-term storage capabilities), and you measure, use, and store this 'Sugar honey' just as you do sugar. You can use it in anything; use it to cook cakes, stir them into your tea or coffee, splatter them on oatmeal or cold cereal.

Organic honey crystals let you have all of honey's benefits with none of the mess. Think about that for a minute; why do you buy honey? It tastes great, of course, but there's also the fact that it's natural and organic, has some vitamin and mineral content, and beneficial antibacterial properties, too. Besides that, it has a taste that no other sweetener can match.

Organic honey crystals have the same great taste with none of honey's inconvenience. No mess, no crystallization, no long-term storage issues. Kids love organic honey crystals, too (although as with any honey, this 'Sugar honey' should not be given to babies under one year of age because of potential food poisoning contraindications ). And because organic honey crystals is not messy, you can let your little ones handle the 'Sugar honey' themselves, without fear of sticky fingers, or any sort of mess.

Are you able to have Sugar honey if you are diabetic?

As with any caloric sweetener, including regular honey, diabetes sufferers need to be careful of the sugars they consume. As with regular honey, someone who has type 2 diabetes may be able to use organic honey crystals carefully to better effect than refined sugars, without the same hazards refined sugar use typically give you. As with anything dietary, check with your health care practitioner if you have diabetes to find out if 'Sugar honey' could be a more fit alternative for you in moderation than refined sugar is.

Beyond all of the health benefits, naturally, Sugar honey is just a great way to have honey taste without any of the mess or fuss regular honey can offer you. There are no problems about crystallization, no problems about storage, no sticky mess to address. If you typically buy honey, try some Sugar honey to see if organic honey crystals make a fine addition to your cupboard or cupboard, for all your baking and cooking wishes. Try it; use it in everything you normally use sugar for and see if you do not like the taste even better than regular sugar gives you. To a healthy life and a 'sweet' beginning!
