Is Inverted Sugar Syrup as good as Honey?
Artificial "honey" has much less vitamins, amino acids and minerals than real honey, but it is cheaper. So it was very popular in bad times in Europe. I recommend real honey, because it is really healthy.
Can Artificial "Honey" be found in the supermarket?
It is forbidden in many countries to name it "honey" because it is not made by bees. So look for Inverted Sugar Syrup. Probably you'll find it between real honey or in the section for bakery.
