Honey is a thick, sweet liquid produced by bees from flower nectar (nectar honey) or tree secretions (dew honey). For centuries, honey has been valued not only for its exquisite taste, but above all as a medicinal agent in folk medicine. In terms of calories, honey is a product with high energy density - 100 grams of honey contains about 300-330 kilocalories (kcal). Honey consists of approximately 80% simple carbohydrates (mainly fructose and glucose) and 17-20% water. Despite its high sugar content, honey outclasses refined white sugar thanks to the presence of enzymes, organic acids, essential oils and microelements.
Our interactive honey calorie calculator allows you to quickly check the energy value of a teaspoon, tablespoon or jar of honey, making it easier to safely control your sugar intake in your diet.
Antibacterial properties of honey - the role of enzymes and acids
Honey is not only about calories, it is a natural antibiotic. Its health-promoting effects are due to several factors:
- Inhibin (hydrogen peroxide):It is formed in honey under the influence of an enzyme (glucose oxidase) added by bees. It has strong antibacterial and antifungal properties.
- Organic acids and flavonoids:They support the immune system, have anti-inflammatory and regenerating effects on the mucous membranes of the throat and stomach.
- Crystallization:This is a natural physical process that occurs in all real honey. Depending on the species (glucose to fructose ratio), honey crystallizes in a few weeks to a few months. Crystallization does not affect the nutritional value of honey and is proof of its natural origin.
Table of nutritional values and macronutrients in 100g of natural honey
The table below presents a detailed list of nutrients in 100 grams of bee honey (multi-floral):

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
How many calories are in one teaspoon of honey and how many are in one tablespoon?
A flat teaspoon of honey weighs about 10 grams and provides about 30-33 kilocalories (kcal). In turn, a heaped tablespoon of honey weighs about 21-22 grams and has approximately 65-72 kcal.
Why shouldn't you add honey to hot tea?
High temperature destroys valuable enzymes and organic biologically active compounds contained in honey. For honey to retain its healing and antibacterial properties, it should be added to liquids (tea, water, milk) at a temperature not exceeding 40°C.
What is the glycemic index (GI) of honey?
The glycemic index of honey ranges from 55 to 60 (medium/high) depending on the variety. Honey with a higher fructose content (e.g. acacia honey) has a lower glycemic index, while those rich in glucose (e.g. rapeseed honey) have a higher glycemic index and raise blood sugar levels faster.
Does artificial honey have the same properties as natural honey?
No. Artificial honey is an industrial product made from sugar or glucose-fructose syrup with added flavors and dyes. It has a similar caloric value, but is completely devoid of enzymes, vitamins, polyphenols and antibacterial properties - it is just pure liquid sugar.
Can babies eat honey?
No, you absolutely must not give honey to children before they are 1 year old. Honey may contain spores of the Clostridium botulinum bacteria, which in infants (due to immature intestinal microflora) can cause a rare but deadly disease - infantile botulism (botulism).
