CONSUMER E-MAIL: Honey is sweet
Dear Sue Bee Honey:
First of all, I want to say how much I enjoy your honey. As the only sweetener available in commercial quantities that isn't man-made, honey brings joy to all of us -- naturally!
That said, I was wondering if it's okay to eat honey straight. Every once in a while, when I feel in the mood for honey but don't want the hassle of spreading it on a piece of bread, I'll just squirt some Sue Bee honey directly into my mouth. I've never heard of anyone else doing this -- but it's probably not harmful, is it? Or is it? I can't imagine that it would be. In fact, forget I asked. And, again, good job on the honey!
Keep it up!
best,
Tom

Dear Tom:
Thank you for taking the time to email SIOUX HONEY ASSOCIATION with your question.
Eating honey is a common practice for various reasons. Honey is often eaten to sooth a sore throat and for other medicinal purposes. Athletes will eat honey out of the container just before competing because the natural mixture of carbohydrates provides quick energy as well as long lasting energy. There are also many people that eat honey out of the container because they like it, myself included.
Sincerely,
Sioux Honey Association
Mary
Director of Quality Control
