French fries, baked potatoes…potato milk? That’s right - you can drink milk from the simple potato. Potato milk is made with potatoes and a few other ingredients (we’ll explain more about them in this article) - but how do you store this intriguing plant-based milk alternative? The best way to store homemade potato milk is in a covered or sealed container in the fridge for up to four days. If you buy premade potato milk, [...]

Honey and sugar beet are two widely consumed sweeteners with distinct origins and characteristics. Honey, a natural and viscous substance produced by bees, nourishes bee colonies and comes from the secretions of plants or other insects. On the other hand, sugar beet is a cultivated plant known for its high sucrose content, primarily grown in colder climates where sugarcane cannot thrive. With each sweetener's unique qualities, [...]

Honey and yacón syrup are two distinct sweetening agents with unique origins and properties. While honey is produced by bees from plant secretions, yacón syrup is extracted from the tuberous roots of the yacón plant. Both sweeteners offer different nutritional profiles, with yacón syrup being lower in calories and sugar. The question arises: which of these sweeteners is ultimately superior? Let's explore the characteristics [...]

Honey and powdered sugar are two popular sweeteners with distinct characteristics. Honey, produced by bees through the gathering and refinement of plant secretions, serves as nourishment for bee colonies. On the other hand, powdered sugar, also known as confectioners' sugar or icing sugar, undergoes a milling process to transform granulated sugar into a powdery form, often with the addition of an anti-caking agent.  With [...]

Honey, a natural and viscous substance bees produce, and sucralose, a noncaloric artificial sweetener, are two vastly different ingredients. While honey is made through the collection and refinement of plant secretions, sucralose is an artificially made sugar substitute that is not metabolized by the body. Considering these differences, the question arises: which sweetener is ultimately superior? Let’s look at both to find [...]

Honey and hydrogenated starch hydrolysates (HSH) are both sweet substances, but they come from different sources and have distinct properties. Honey, produced by bees from plant secretions, is known for its natural sweetness and viscosity. On the other hand, HSH, developed by Lyckeby Starch, is a mixture of sugar alcohols created through a chemical process. While honey has a rich history and is considered a natural food, HSH [...]
