Mellody® plant-based honey is now on Knowde

SAN JOSE, CA – JANUARY 31, 2024 – MeliBio, which produces Mellody®, the world’s first plant-based honey, has launched a business-to-business (B2B) storefront on Knowde, the food and nutrition industry’s leading digital customer experience platform.  

“While demand for honey continues to grow, the global honeybee population has been declining by 30 percent per year for more than a decade, creating a highly volatile and unpredictable supply chain. Mellody® plant-based honey is a sustainable and all-natural alternative that can be used to bind granola bar ingredients, sweeten yogurt and milk products, balance acid and spices in sauces, and more,” said Darko Mandich, CEO and Co-Founder of MeliBio. 

Mellody® plant-based honey is produced using fructose, glucose, and a range of plant extracts including   red   clover,   jasmine,   passionflower,   chamomile,   and   seaberry,   among   other ingredients. It has the same floral, bright, and sweet flavor and sticky, drippy, and thick texture as honey produced by bees, but is 100% vegan and glyphosate-free. Because it’s a plant-based product, it helps protect native pollinators and encourages biodiversity.

“Knowde helps level the playing field for novel ingredient suppliers like Mellody® that are looking to increase their market reach and identify new customers, while giving the R&D community the tools they need to find the right ingredients and get answers to technical questions in order quickly to shorten development time and get products to market faster,” said Kyle Bastien, Vice President of Sales for Knowde.

In addition to 1,500 suppliers and more than 35,000 ingredients, Knowde offers the modern, online experience buyers want with industry-leading search capabilities, a simplified process to request documents, order samples and receive quotes, and access to experts who can answer questions.
