Health benefits of honey
Obviously one of the core ingredients of Hot Honey is…honey! And we love that, because honey is such a naturally good-for-you ingredient. In addition to being absolutely delicious, it also has several health benefits.
Honey is filled with vitamins, minerals, iron, zinc, and antioxidants, and can be used as an anti-inflammatory.
