Powdered honey is dehydrated liquid honey that is ground into a fine powder. It has the same flavor as liquid honey but is more versatile due to its dry nature.

It’s a great alternative to liquid honey, which has a sticky texture that is hard to combine with other ingredients and can cause dry spices to clump up.

Chef Stephanie Izard told Food Republic, "The great part about honey powder is that it dissolves nicely and evenly, and it adds the flavor of honey without the texture."

Easy to measure and handle, powdered honey is packed with vitamins and minerals, and has a lower glycemic index than sugar, making for a healthier sweetening alternative.

With proper storage, powdered honey can keep for several years and generally lasts much longer than liquid honey, which becomes opaque and grainy over time.

Powdered honey is a popular sugar substitute in Korean cooking, so if it’s not at your local grocery store, check an Asian market or order it from an online retailer.
