The research, commissioned by the Honey Association, suggests that honey is no longer perceived as a food eaten by older people, with 75% on 16 to 34-year-olds spreading it on toast, 37% using it to sweeten drinks and 24% including it in smoothies.
Interestingly, a spokesperson for the Honey Association told just-food, when compared with jam and marmalade honey was the condiment of choice, preferred by 39% of respondents.
Part of the reason for the increase in honey’s popularity are innovations in packaging – with 70% of 16 to 24-year-olds responded that they prefer squeezable bottles to traditional jars. In the past year, sales of squeezable honey increased in volume by 28%.
