One tablespoon (21 grams) of clover honey contains (5Trusted Source):
- Calories: 60 calories
- Protein: 0 grams
- Fat: 0 grams
- Carbs: 17 grams
This type of honey is mostly carbs in the form of natural sugars. However, it also offers small amounts of different vitamins and minerals, including magnesium, potassium, iron, and zinc
What’s more, it’s rich in antioxidant compounds that can benefit your health.
Clover Honey Best Uses
The light and sweet taste of clover honey make it ideal for use in a wide variety of applications. It’s perfect as a sweetener for tea (and coffee, believe it or not), and since it doesn’t have a powerful taste and won’t overpower a recipe, it’s one of the best choices for cooking or as a substitute for sugar in baking. Clover honey is also delicious when added to a vinaigrette or stir-fry, stirred into yogurt, or drizzled over cereal, ice cream or even savory foods like goat cheese.
Nutritionists will never tell you that honey is a “health food,” because all varieties are high in natural sugars. Clover honey is no exception, as there are about 60 calories in each tablespoon, and its 17 carbs per tablespoon are almost all due to the sugars it contains. There is, however, no fat in clover honey, and it does contain relatively small amounts of zinc, potassium, iron, and magnesium. And this honey is noteworthy for providing several important health benefits.
