However, it is absolutely forbidden to cook earth honey with boiling water or high temperature, because unreasonable heating will seriously destroy the nutrients in earth honey, inactivate the enzymes in earth honey, darken the color, volatilize the fragrance, change the taste and turn sour.
Studies have shown that the enzymes in soil honey, especially amylase, are unstable to heat. If the value decreases, it proves that the unique fragrance and taste of local honey are destroyed and volatilized, the antibacterial effect is reduced, and the nutritional components are destroyed. Therefore, it is best to dilute soil honey with warm water or cold water below 40℃, especially in hot summer.
When eating, soil honey can be smeared on bread and steamed bread, or it can be added into soybean milk and milk, heated, blended and drunk together. You can also mix local honey in cold dishes or add mineral water and purified water to drink, which is fragrant and delicious.

1, earth honey should be packed in nonmetallic containers such as ceramics, glass bottles and nontoxic plastic bottles instead of iron containers. Because honey is a weakly acidic liquid, it can react chemically with metals, and it may react chemically after long-term contact with metals during storage.
2. Soil honey should be sealed and stored, washed and dried with honey collecting tools to prevent water from entering, and the water dissolved in honey is easy to ferment and deteriorate.
3. Earth honey should be stored in a low temperature, dark, dry and ventilated environment.
4. Soil honey should also prevent odor, moisture absorption, fermentation and pollution. Storage period. It should not be stored with odorous articles (such as gasoline, alcohol, garlic, etc.). ), corrosive substances (such as fertilizers, pesticides, lime, alkali, nitrate, etc. ) or unsanitary items (such as waste products and livestock products, etc.). ).
