How to preserve honey?

In fact, honey is indispensable in family life, because honey has high edible and health value, which can help us beautify our skin, moisten the intestines, promote bowel movements and stimulate appetite. However, we must pay attention to the correct storage of honey, and it should be placed in a low temperature and sunlight place.

1. Honey should be stored in a cool and dark place. Since honey is a weakly acidic liquid and can react chemically with metals, a chemical reaction will occur when it comes into contact with metals such as lead, zinc, and iron during storage. Therefore, non-metallic containers such as ceramics, glass bottles, non-toxic plastic barrels, etc. should be used to store honey.

2. During the storage process, honey should also be prevented from odor contamination, moisture, fermentation, and contamination. In order to avoid odor contamination and contamination, it must not be stored together with odorous items (such as gasoline, alcohol, garlic, etc.), corrosive items (such as fertilizers, pesticides, lime, alkali, saltpeter, etc.) or unsanitary items (such as waste products, livestock products, etc.).

3. The shelf life of honey: Currently the national regulations stipulate that the shelf life of bottled honey is 18 months. But bees with high capped mature concentration can also be kept for many years. But it is better to eat fresh honey, because fresh honey generally has better color, aroma and taste.
