The Endangered Honey Bear
Overlooked in the pantry in recent years, the iconic honey bear is reestablishing itself as the #1 secret ingredient for foodies everywhere. The Food Channel even named honey as a top food trend (check out the declaration here!). To help bolster the honey bear’s comeback and ensure it stays off the “endangered” list for good, the National Honey Board is encouraging everyone to use more honey. If you’re looking for 100% pure honey, make sure the label only has one ingredient: honey. Your local grocery store and farmers markets are perfect places to find 100% pure honey.
About the National Honey Board
The National Honey Board is a federal research and promotion board under USDA oversight that conducts research, marketing and promotion programs to help maintain and expand markets for honey and honey products. These programs are funded by an assessment of one cent per pound on domestic and imported honey.
