I love these little sticks. They are basically like drinking straws filled with honey, then heat-sealed on each end. I usually cut one one and squeeze the the honey out like toothpaste. But my kids like to just bite a sealed end (if you put pressure on the seal in the opposite direction, it will break) and just suck the honey out!
I love that they are single serve and I don't have some messy sticky bottle of stuff lying around. And if someone asks if I have honey for tea, I can offer a few different flavors of this right on the table.
Incidentally, commercially produced honey doesn't really go bad... even over years. Depending on storage it may change color or taste to where you don't like it, but it won't hurt you. It may crystallize, but can be resoftened with moist heat, even a microwave..(I have never had that happen with these sticks).
Clover and orange blossom are classic table honeys. They are pretty mild (compared to something like a buckwheat honey) and are good in cooking, sweetening drinks, etc. I am not sure what the caramel, cinnamon and other flavors are. (like there are no caramel flowers that the bees are pollinating!! ha ha!! it would be awesome to have a caramel tree though!! :D) I suppose they are light honeys that are then flavored so I just stuck with the "plain" kinds.
EDIT: I just came to this page to buy more of these. I switched from artificial sweetener in my tea to just these. I drink at least 3 cups of tea everyday at work and started thinking about chemicals I was having. While one of these isn't as sweet as I was used to, I got used to them quickly. I didn't see any nutrition info for these, but looked at other similar sticks and it seems that they have approximately 1 tsp of honey (about 6gr.) each. That would be about 15 calories (about 4g of carbs/sugars, 0 protein, 0 fat 0 sodium 0 cholesterol.)
