Honey is preserved for a long time, but if it is left for a long time and not used, it may cause deterioration. Honey is basically canned and sealed, so it should be stored in a cool place at ordinary times, but it can be stored in the refrigerator in hot summer.

Natural honey is mature honey brewed by bees themselves without any processing and additives. Crystalline honey does not lose its nutrients because it has not been processed, and it is a treasure in honey to keep its nutritional activity.

Natural honey has no shelf life in a strict sense, because the ultra-high osmotic pressure in natural honey can inhibit microorganisms, and antibacterial substances such as lysozyme rich in natural honey can also kill microorganisms. In fact, natural honey can even "never deteriorate" when it is well preserved, but it must be marked with a shelf life when it is sold as food, so the shelf life of natural honey is generally marked as 2 years or 18 months.

Although natural honey has no strict shelf life, it is easy to deteriorate ahead of time if it is not preserved properly. When preserving natural honey, we must pay attention to the following problems: firstly, metal containers such as iron or copper should not be used for long-term preservation; secondly, it should be completely sealed and stored in a ventilated and dry environment; thirdly, it should not be stored with things that are easy to smell or toxic; and thirdly, a dry and hygienic spoon must be used when taking it.
