Honey vs Sugar
 

Many people prefer honey than sugar. From this site, it does show that honey has some nutritional value, but the amount is so little. Is the honey worthy for the price - a 5 lb bottle of Clover honey in Sam's is about $13?

Yes

Purchase your honey from a local farmer/bee keeper.

Raw honey is the only way to go. Most of the time if you told me it was sugar instead of honey for sweetness I couldn't tell. If you want some contact info on where to get bulk raw honey in the northland I know of a wonderful gent who'd help you out.

Some people don't like the flavor of honey. I find it to be far superior to sugar for just about every application. It does have an actual flavor, though, so it will add that flavor when used in place of sugar in cooking.

And you'll miss quite a few of the benefits of honey if you don't buy local honey.

I love honey, but can't imagine using it as a substitute for sugar 100% of the time. It does have a flavor.

Stevia for the win.

Refined sugar is about the worst thing you can put into your body. Honey is a lot better choice.

I use honey quite a bit. Oatmeal, with Grape Nuts mixed in and honey on top, with a splash of milk.
But like people say, buy local honey. They even have some flavored with blueberry and other things.

There are some decent reads about honey here:

honey...no contest.

Honey also works as a great Topical Antibiotic. Rub some on a wound instead of some Triple antibiotic.

Yep

If you're switching to honey from sugar for weight control, it's a wash. It doesn't matter either way.

If you're doing it for some other reason, like allergy control or because you like the taste, carry on.

I hate Honey. Good for sweetening, but tastes awful by itself.

honey ... but dont buy it often .....

Honey, it takes momma longer to lick it off..........

I like honey but I often find myself using other things (sorghum, molasses, brown sugar, etc.) when I'm making something that calls for honey.

Agave Nectar is my sweetner of choice.

You can use Turbinado Sugar. It also called raw sugar. It has a very slight molasses taste since it's not highly processed.

Agave nectar

If I was a beet farmer, I'd say sugar, but I'd be fibbing.

Instead, I keep a few hives, so I say honey. And it's true.

This is the correct answer.

Honey is usually quite a bit more expensive -

This. Raw Honey... you can't trust store bought honey... plus, you want from a local farmer because it is made with pollen from the area, thus it indirectly helps against allergies.

I thought this thread would be about two hookers in a jello-wrestling contest.

Son, I am disappoint.

I've also found out that there are varieties of Honey. It'll depend on what kind of flowers the bees are pollinating will give different tastes.

Just ran out of sugar for my coffee, searched around and found some sugar free pancake syrup. Damn it's good.
