Honey is back, but never really went away.
100 % natural functional food increasingly popular.
In times of high-tech margarines, vitaminised drinks and alpha and omega enriched soy burgers, more and more people (re)discover honey as natural functional food.
At Meli, the leading Belgian honey manufacturer since 1932, we have known for a long time that the household remedy from the old days is back from never really having been away.
Since time immemorial all kinds of possible and impossible properties have been attributed to the delicious bread spread. Popular belief? Placebo effect? Sometimes. But numerous qualities of honey have in the mean time been proved beyond doubt by scientists. And the same scientists have also examined surprising new uses.
What would you think, for example, about honey as a burn ointment or a natural vaccine against hay fever?
No panic: you can still eat our honey just because it is delicious.
For that is often already enough to feel good.
