About Toast with butter and honey

Toast with butter and honey is a quick and simple snack enjoyed in various cuisines worldwide, particularly in European and North American breakfasts. The dish combines toasted bread, which provides carbohydrates, with butter, offering fats, and honey, a natural sweetener rich in glucose and fructose. Depending on the bread and butter used, the nutritional profile can vary, but on average, this dish provides an energy-dense meal with a balance of macronutrients. Whole grain bread enhances the fiber and micronutrient content, while grass-fed butter can add small amounts of vitamins A and D. Honey carries trace antioxidants and natural sugars, making this a satisfying yet calorically rich option in moderation.

Health Benefits

• Provides quick energy due to the simple carbohydrates in honey and bread.
• Contains small amounts of vitamin A from butter, supporting eye health and immune function.
• Honey provides trace antioxidants, such as flavonoids, which may help reduce oxidative stress.

Not suitable for: Gluten-free diet, vegan diet, low-carb or ketogenic diet (due to high carbohydrate content)

Selection and Storage
