5. Honey and maple syrups
From time to time, we all need a little sweetness. Natural sweeteners like honey and maple syrup have a variety of health benefits.
Raw honey, for example, has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties as well as potent antioxidants. Maple syrup is also high in antioxidants and contains trace amounts of magnesium, potassium, and manganese, among other nutrients.
Honey and maple syrups can be used in both sweet and savoury recipes to add flavour and depth. Just remember that too much sugar from any source can be harmful to your overall health, so use these sweeteners sparingly.
