Popcorn with vegan honey: a sustainable snack

Personally, I love the combination of sweet and savoury and a little spice. And that is why I love this popcorn flavour. I have been a fan of popcorn for a long time anyway: it is healthier than crisps and you can vary the flavours endlessly. New to me is the vegan honey from Vegablum. This one is made from cane sugar and nettle extract. Nice, normally I would have used regular honey, but since I know that honey is associated with a lot of bee suffering and biodiversity loss, I choose vegan honey more often. Just as tasty and much better for the bees. Want to know more about honey? We wrote an extensive article about it here.
