Not so Sticky Sweetness: Nektar Honey Crystals Review

  I love honey! Its such a natural wonder! I was very intrigued to see Nektar Honey Crystals in my Influenster Mom Voxbox. I can honestly say this was a new product, let alone ideal, to me. The pure, 100% all natural honey crystals are GMO free, naturally gluten free and made in the U.S.A.!
                                           

I have to say I  was curious ( & a tad skeptical) about any possible preservatives/additives so I contacted Nektar Naturals via their site. I received a prompt & friendly response assuring me there are no preservatives or additives used! YAY!!  The response was from none other than, the president & founder of Nektar Naturals Fine Foods, LLC- Jeremy Edelman . Another plus for this brand for me! I love a company that will connect with its consumer/clientele/customer (whichever name you bestow upon us) on a more regular basis.

Ok back to the matter at hand, my take on these curious lil' honey crystals. First I had to take a look. Appearance was good. You can see the tiny lil' beige specks in my picture below of the open pack of Nektar Honey Crystals. The smell wasn't bad either.
Now for the best part. I tried a few Nektar Honey Crystals by themselves. The texture was nice; quick to melt, not too hard. And the flavor was, to me, as yummy as the liquid stuff! A big big yippy was that there was no weird after taste at all with the Nektar Honey Crystals. Just pure "yumminess".
So I figure what the heck, let's get wild & add it to a cup of my Stash Tea! (You can get my full review on Stash Tea here.) One packet of Nektar Honey Crystals is equal to one teaspoon of liquid honey. For me, that is just about the right amount to add to my tea (not much on it being too sweet).  It didn't take many swirls of my spoon for all the lil' crystals to be dissolved. The flavor was tastey & mild. Didn't overpower the tea just added a sweet undertone.

I can't wait to get some more to try in many other nummies! I think I may try it in my oatmeal first! It is definitely an item I can see incorporating into my everyday routine, especially with 4 kiddos. The packs make it convenient & portable. The portion is a definite plus as well. Makes keeping an eye on added calories & sugar so much easier. Of course don't forget the fact that they're all natural!

And so the days of sticky are gone, enter the era of Nektar Honey Crystals!!
