Many people are afraid to bake with honey.

After all, there is a widespread belief that heating turns this sweet product into poison.

High temperatures allegedly make honey hazardous to health.

Is this statement true? Not quite!

At the same time, the sweetness does not become “poisonous” at all! If, of course, we are talking about a real product.

In other words, if your goal is to prepare baked goods that have a bright taste, and the presence/absence of great benefits is not of fundamental importance to you, then you can send the dish with a natural honey component to the oven!

Yes, you won't get a dish that promotes health. But these baked goods won't be harmful either.

When honey should not be heated

Before adding honey to the dough, understand the quality of the product!

Make sure the sweetness is natural.

High-quality honey will definitely not turn into poison when baked.

But a counterfeit product can easily turn into a dangerous product for the body when heated. So be careful!
