Tim Hortons Honey Dip
This plain glazed doughnut is moderate, mostly from its enriched flour, yeast, and oil.
Fast food is cooked in batches and held warm rather than made when you order it, so it is rarely as fresh as something cooked at home. That matters here because histamine builds up as protein foods sit, which means the same item can affect you differently depending on how long it waited.
A Honey Dip is a plain yeast-raised doughnut of enriched flour, shortening, and a light sugar glaze.
-
The dough sets the level — the enriched flour, yeast, and wheat starch each land moderate, and the soybean oil is moderate too, so the base is what carries it.
-
No high drivers here — there is no cocoa, sour cream, or fruit filling to push it into the high range, which is why it stays moderate.
As plain doughnuts go, this is one of the gentler picks in the case.
