Storage method

Honey should be stored in a low temperature and dark place, preferably in the refrigerator, and should not be exposed to direct sunlight. Usually The shelf life is 18 months. Since honey is a weakly acidic liquid and can react chemically with metals, chemical reactions 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 buckets and other containers should be used to store honey. Honey should also prevent odor, moisture absorption, fermentation, pollution, etc. during storage.

In order to avoid odor and pollution, it is not allowed to mix with odorous items (such as gasoline, alcohol, garlic, etc.), corrosive items (such as fertilizers, pesticides, lime, alkali, nitrate, etc.) or unhygienic items ( Such as waste, livestock products, etc. storage). The state stipulates that the shelf life of bottled honey is 18 months, but honey with a high mature concentration can also be preserved for many years. But it is better to eat fresh honey, because fresh honey generally has better color, aroma, taste and taste!
