Honey can be kept fresh in the refrigerator.

Honey should be stored in a low temperature and dark place. 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. The shelf life of honey is currently stipulated by the state as the shelf life of bottled honey is 18 months. But bees with a high concentration of capped maturity can also last for many years. But it is better to eat fresh honey, because fresh honey generally has better color, aroma, taste and taste.

Honey will deteriorate after being stored for a long time, which is manifested in two aspects. First, the taste becomes sour, and second, it becomes thinner (normal honey is very viscous, and high-quality osmanthus honey can even be used cleanly. It is wrapped in paper rather than packed in a bucket or bottle, which shows its viscosity). Honey spoilage is mainly caused by rising temperatures, so a refrigerator can solve this problem. The appearance of many gray bubbles on honey indicates that some organic matter in the honey decomposes and turns into gas and overflows. At this time, even if the honey has not deteriorated, its nutritional value has been reduced.

Honey Introduction

Honey is nectar collected by bees from living plant nectaries or other parts. It is a sweet substance that is fully brewed by bees and stored in the hive. This definition stipulates the meaning of honey from the source of honey, the ripening process of honey and the properties of the finished honey. First, the source of honey is the nectar of plant nectaries, including manna honey, but does not include molasses produced by feeding sugar.

The second is that the maturation process of honey is brewed and stored in the hive by bees. The nectar just collected by the bees is not honey, and the immature one is not honey. The third is that the finished product of honey is a sweet taste. substance. It can be seen from this definition that honey cannot be produced without bees, plants and bees. Without these conditions, it cannot be regarded as honey, so honey cannot be artificially made.
