It has been used by humans for at least 10,000 years, judging from cave paintings found in Spain. It was used for embalming in Ancient Egypt. Honey is the only natural food that doesn't spoil. It is a traditional part of a 'sweet New Year' in the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah, where apples are dipped in honey. It holds a place in the literary canon as the sole love interest of the bear Winnie The Pooh, who can never get enough 'hunny' to eat. It has been praised for its curative properties, whether on burns or for a sore throat. Many Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines feature honey, with Greek Baklava being the most well known and delicious use of honey invented by man. Whether spread on corn bread, sweetening tea, or baked in a cake, honey is our go-to natural sweetener. Thanks, Bees!
