White honey is usually not a “flower name” but a description of colour and texture. Many white honeys are naturally light (like some clover/alfalfa types) or are processed into creamed/whipped honey. Nutrition stays like honey, so portion size is still the key.
In a nutshell: The values provided are approximate and can vary depending on the flower source and processing (especially creamed/whipped).
