How to preserve honey
Honey preservation should pay attention to many aspects. ⑴ Container: Honey is actually an acidic viscous liquid, which has corrosive effect on metal containers such as zinc, iron and aluminum. Therefore, in order to avoid polluting honey, honey should not be stored in metal containers without food coating, and it is better to store it in containers such as glass bottles and plastic buckets for food. At the same time, the container containing honey should be kept dry and clean. It is recommended to clean it first and dry it before containing honey.

⑵ Sealing: When keeping honey, we must pay attention to sealing, because honey has strong water absorption and can absorb moisture in the air, and when the moisture content in honey exceeds 2 1%, it is easy to deteriorate. After taking honey, it is necessary to screw the bottle cap in time. In addition to sealing, when taking honey back and forth, the spoon should be kept clean and dry to avoid bringing moisture into the honey. At the same time, honey also has a strong odor absorption, and sealing can also avoid touching articles with volatile odor, such as soap, gasoline, etc., otherwise it will be difficult to eat after the odor.

Generally speaking, honey can be stored in a dry, ventilated, cool and direct sunlight. If the weather is hot, or if you want a refreshing taste, you can also store it in the freezer.
