Brief Description
Description : | Honey has a unique flavour and taste, which makes it enjoyable. Honey is perhaps the oldest sweetener known to man. There are about 2,76,000 beekeepers in India. The national production of honey is about 27,000 tonnes per annum. The per capita consumption of honey in India is 8.4 g/year, which is very low owing to high cost and utilization of major quantity for medical purposes. Honey has been recognized as a health promoter. It is beneficial to promote the use of honey directly or through value added products such as honey candy, honey yogurt, etc. It can also be incorporated in baked foods, which has got a lot of popularity. Also the current surge of interest in the production of “natural foods” can increase the usage of honey as an ingredient in baked and other processed foods |
