One, storage containers

Through observation, it is found that whether the honey is purchased back from the farm or from the supermarket, some of them will be in plastic containers, while some of them will be in glass containers. In comparison, which one is better? This can be decided by understanding the acidity and alkalinity of honey: honey is a weakly acidic liquid, and acidic liquids placed in metal utensils will have a chemical reaction. Therefore, the best choice is to use glass, ceramic, and non-toxic plastic utensils.

Second, placed in a dry place + sealed

Honey contains glucose and fructose, can absorb moisture in the air, after the absorption of water, honey is easy to fermentation and deterioration. So keep it in a dry place and seal it with a lid.

Three, light + low temperature

From the article cited in the beginning of the "Egyptian pyramid tomb storage honey" report, careful bee friends will find that in the pyramid of this environment there are two implied conditions: light + low temperature. Because honey contains a variety of enzymes and vitamins, they will be decomposed in the light; similarly, too high a temperature will destroy the nutrients in the honey, so avoiding light + low temperature is also a necessary condition.

Note:

When storing honey at low temperatures, it is possible for the honey to "crystallize" (but this is not a sign of deterioration; the crystallized portion of the honey is glucose, which doesn't affect the drink). The main determinants of crystallization are the type of honey and the temperature, so if you're worried that your honey will crystallize and you won't be able to consume it, store it in wide-mouthed glass or ceramic containers and use a dry spoon to scoop it up when you consume it (special emphasis on dry spoons, if there are any droplets of water on the spoon you must dry it out). (Never heat the crystals at high temperatures.)

If these three conditions are met, and the honey is natural and ripe, it will be able to achieve the realm of "a hundred bacteria do not invade, a thousand years of non-perishable"!
