2020 Virtual Honey Editor Summit: Learning about honey, plus honey tastings
On Thursday, November 5, the Snack Food & Wholesale Bakery editors were able to attend the National Honey Board's 2020 Virtual Honey Editors Summit. We also attended this event in 2016; this year it was obviously virtual, but editors received eight different varieties of honeys to try at home, along with some snacks that had honey in them.
Honey sales are up 18 percent as compared to 2015, and it's the #1 category in the beer industry, too. 2019 brought many new honey product introductions, especially because, when polled, 80 percent of consumers said they are trying to limit or avoid sugars.
