Sugar is made up of 50 % glucose and 50 % fructose that bound together chemically into a molecule called sucrose, therefore sugar is 100% sucrose. Honey has 30 % glucose and less than 40 % fructose that float separately with the balance made up of enzymes, amino acids, B Vitamins, Vitamin C, minerals and antioxidants. Since fructose is sweeter that glucose, honey tastes sweeter than sugar and people tend to use less.
