Abstract

Public schools have included in students’ meals products from family farming, in particular honey. This study aimed at researching the various ways in which honey in added into school meals in some municipalities, develop honey cookies enriched with fiber, evaluate their acceptance by children aged 4 to 9 years old, and finally socialize the outcomes of the research to beekeepers. Honey has been included in school meals on bread, as juice and tea sweetener and in sachets. Tasting the various options of snacks with honey demonstrated that cookies had a 95% of acceptance among children and microbiological analyses indicated the good quality of the product. The inclusion of honey in school meals contributed to children´s healthy diet in addition to providing one more option for beekeepers to commercialize honey and to strengthen family farming.
