Simple sugars are the primary nutrients in honey. However, other minor components (minerals, polyphenols) are also precious from a nutritional and medicinal point of view. Let's have a look at the average chemical composition of a pure and authentic floral honey:
Single sugars (carbohydrates): 82 grams, with a predominance of fructose (28-40 grams) and glucose (22-38 grams) We also find sucrose and maltose in smaller proportions.
Water: 15-20 milliliters.
Proteins or amino acids: 0.3 to 2 grams.
Fat: 0 grams.
Small amounts of vitamins: B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B6 (pyridoxine) and vitamin C.
