    The other things in honey is what makes the difference. Good honey is a magical thing. But it wouldn’t be mixed with anything else. A marker of high quality honey is being single source and single season (similar to single malt whisky).

    HFCS has uses - many. But it’s not a good substitute for honey if the honey flavour is important. This product is the cheapest honey mixed together and then added to HFCS to push the price down and make the low quality honey more tolerable in taste. There’s a market for it only because honey is so expensive.
