FAQ

Can I use regular honey instead of organic honey?

No, regular honey often contains refined sugars and additives. Organic honey is unprocessed and free from refined sugars.

Is avocado oil safe for this recipe?

Yes, avocado oil is a clean, whole-food alternative to seed oils and adds healthy fats.

Can I skip the Worcestershire sauce?

While optional, it adds depth. Use non-GMO Worcestershire sauce for a clean version, or omit if preferred.
