Depending on the type of flower, nectar is an aqueous solution containing between 5% and 80% sugars and small amounts of nitrogenous compounds, minerals, organic acids, vitamins, and lipids.

Of the vitamins, the only one in any appreciable amounts is ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and, as may be expected, this is in higher amounts in nectar from flowers of citrus plants.
