Honey is a mixture of easily digestible carbohydrates, which our body is adapted to use. This is the reason why honey is an excellent source of energy, without fattening. It is rich in minerals and poor in water. Most often, enzymes (from the bees) and waxes (from the honeycombs) are detected in it. Honey strengthens the body's defenses, protects against allergies, helps digestion and contributes to skin health. It is the most delicious youth elixir.
Sesame seed bars are made when boiled honey is mixed with toasted sesame seeds. Sometimes, dried nuts or pieces of dried fruit are added. Obviously, honey is an ingredient of these bars.
They combine the beneficial properties of honey with the beneficial properties of sesame and dried nuts. Sesame seed bars, in addition to energy, offer a multitude of antioxidants and healthy lipids to the body.
Honey is a liquid product, easy to adulterate. Unfortunately, adulterated honey can be used in making pasteli. In such a case, the pasteli will lack floral elements in taste and aroma, while it is possible to cause a sensation of "roughness" in the throat, when swallowed. As low-quality honey has fewer nutrients, the same will apply to the pasteli made of it.
Honey can easily replace common sugar. It is, of course, much more expensive, but the financial burden is offset by the health benefits. The top cases are banana chocolate drip cake, lemon juice cake, apple cinnamon cake, and coconut cake.
