Because honey is a weakly acidic liquid, when it comes into contact with metals, it is easy to oxidize and precipitate free metal elements, which makes the color of honey black and the nutritional components are destroyed.
Therefore, containers containing honey should be made of nonmetallic materials such as glass bottles, wooden barrels and crocks, and stored in a cool, dry, clean and ventilated place at a temperature of 5 ~ 10℃. In an environment where the air humidity does not exceed 75%. The container containing honey should be tightly covered to prevent air leakage and reduce the contact between honey and air.
