Can I still eat honey if it has white foam?

Everyone must have eaten honey. It is a relatively sweet but nutritious thing. It can be soaked in water and drunk, or mixed with other things and eaten. If we usually have a glass of honey water in the morning, it will help with constipation. But sometimes honey will have some abnormal changes, such as white foam. Some people think that such honey is not edible. So can honey with white foam still be eaten?

Everyone must have eaten honey. It is a relatively sweet honey, but it has no shelf life, provided that the honey is pure enough. American archaeologists have discovered a jar of honey dating back more than 3,000 years in an ancient Egyptian pyramid. This jar of honey has not deteriorated or dried into lumps and is still edible. So, honey has no shelf life.

However, honey has a shelf life. The "GB18796-2005" honey production standard implemented by the country in 2006 requires honey companies to indicate a two-year shelf life on their bee products. Most companies also bid for two years. Some honey companies set the period at 18 months.

2 If it is truly mature honey, brewed by the bees themselves in the hive, there is indeed no problem keeping it for ten years. Most honeys are artificially concentrated and have some restrictions on their shelf life. Check the degree of Baume on the label. If the honey is above 41 degrees, it can be stored for 3 years without any problems.

There is nothing special about the crystals and they can be eaten. Crystallization is just a different state and does not affect the quality. If your honey is pure enough. It seems to be fine, after all, the honey is in the refrigerator.

What kind of honey cannot be eaten after being stored for a long time? Those honeys have too high water content and have been fermented in hot weather, giving off a sour and alcoholic taste. Such honeys are not edible. (During fermentation, the volume of honey will expand, so a lot of bubbles will form and the taste will become sour.)

3 When the water content of honey is less than 18%, it is not easy to ferment because the plant sugar in honey itself has antibacterial effect.

If your honey doesn't have a weird smell, I think you can continue to eat it. It's not a big problem even if it's past its expiration date. You didn't say what brand of honey it is. If it's high-quality honey, there will be no problem. If you're worried, use it in the shower! It is a nutritious thing. It can be drunk with water or mixed with other things.
