Tip: The Science of Honey: How Sweet It Is Table sugar is sucrose, a naturally-occurring sugar made up of one glucose molecule and one fructose molecule joined together. fructose seems sweeter to our taste buds, and honey has lots of fructose. You can use less honey than sugar in recipes for that reason.
