Honey can be stored in the refrigerator in summer, but if done properly, it can be stored without the refrigerator.

Honey is a natural food with excellent antiseptic properties. In summer, as long as it is sealed and stored, honey will not deteriorate. However, if there is too much water in the honey, it will not deteriorate if it is stored at high temperature. When the honey is fermented, fermentation and acidification will occur. Therefore, when purchasing honey, be sure to purchase mature honey of good quality.

How to preserve honey in summer:

1. Bottle and seal and place it in a cool and ventilated place. If you have a basement at home, putting honey underground can also extend its shelf life. , it should be noted that when storing honey in summer, the amount in the container should not be too full. Otherwise, as the temperature rises, some components in the honey will expand in volume and easily burst the container.

2. Seal and store in refrigerator. You don’t have to worry about honey going bad when you put it in the refrigerator, and it’s easy to take and eat at any time. However, after being put in the refrigerator, its shape will change, from liquid to solid, but the nutritional content will not change, but it will affect the uniformity of the taste.

It is worth mentioning that no matter which method is used, it is best to use glass or ceramic containers to store pure honey. Do not use iron, lead and other metal containers to prevent free heavy metals from contaminating the honey. Honey stored in non-toxic plastic bottles should not be stored for too long. Honey put into containers must be sealed and covered to avoid contact with moist air to avoid fermentation.
