Honey has never tasted so sweet. Honey contains low to moderate levels of antioxidants, according to researchers at the University of Illinois. But not all honeys are the same. The antioxidant content of honey from bees fed on buckwheat, for example, was 20 times higher than that of the honey from bees fed on sage. Darker honeys, such as New Zealand’s manuka, can have a higher antioxidant levels that lighter varieties.
