Here's what the "buzz" is all about.

When you need to stock your pantry and enter the supermarket on the hunt for honey, you probably grab whichever container meets you at eye level. That makes sense! They all sit glistening like liquid gold that it's hard to distinguish the great from the mediocre. However, anyone who's ever tried a really good, real-tasting honey knows that quality is a game-changer. Finding the best honey doesn't have to mean dropping lots of money on a condiment! There's a whole world of varieties perfect for spreading, drizzling, and everything in between.

When shopping for honey, take a moment to consider how you use it. Taste and texture can vary widely depending on how it is processed and the type of flowers the bees sip on. Most of these finds are raw honey, meaning they're not heavily processed and retain most of honey's natural nutrients and antioxidants. An everyday option to add to drinks or food can be as simple as a solid raw or unfiltered squeeze bottle like Nature Nate's. Consider a jar's flavor notes if you're learning how to infuse honey or serving guests a dish like Ree's honey-mustard glazed ham. Heading to a Jewish New Year dinner? Gift the hosts a fun sample pack they can enjoy while explaining why you dip apples in honey during Rosh Hashanah. Here, you'll find the top honey picks everyone is "buzzing" about.
