However, it should be noted that honey should be stored in a cool, dry and ventilated place to avoid direct sunlight and high temperature to ensure the quality and taste of honey. If honey goes bad, such as discoloration, mildew or odor, stop eating it immediately. Honey is easy to absorb water, and there is a layer of bubbles on the surface of honey accompanied by taste changes, indicating that it has deteriorated.

In order to ensure the quality and taste of honey, it is suggested to choose regular channels and high-quality local honey, such as Maqinling local honey, Honey Xiaowu local honey or Zhenfeng local honey. These honey are selected from the original bees in the original ecological environment. They are pure natural, contain no additives, and are rich in flavor, delicate in taste, healthier and more delicious.

Method of judging honey expiration

First of all, a lot of bubbles

Honey can't be eaten because it bubbles a lot. The reason is that honey will go bad in nine cases. The principle is that microorganisms will release carbon dioxide when metabolizing sugars in honey. When carbon dioxide overflows from honey, honey will produce a lot of bubbles. However, it is normal to shake honey vigorously to produce a small amount of bubbles and let them dissipate by themselves after standing for a few hours.

Second, it smells of alcohol.

Honey can't be eaten if it smells like wine, because it must have gone bad. The principle is that microorganisms can decompose sugar substances in honey into alcohol, which makes honey have a strong alcohol smell. When there is only a slight alcohol smell, honey can be heated to 60℃ to slow down the deterioration, but if honey has a strong alcohol smell, it indicates that it has completely deteriorated.

Third, it has a sour taste.

Honey tastes sour and can't be eaten any more, because it must have gone bad. The principle is that microorganisms can decompose sugar in honey into alcohol, and alcohol can be further oxidized into acetic acid under certain conditions. However, if honey is only slightly acidic, it is normal. In fact, honey itself contains a lot of acidic substances such as organic acids.

Fourth, the texture becomes thinner.

Honey can't be eaten when its texture becomes thin, because it often goes bad. The principle is that when microorganisms multiply in large quantities, they will consume saccharides in honey, and at the same time, when microorganisms metabolize saccharides, they will also produce a lot of water. Eventually, the texture of honey will become thinner and thinner, and even become like water when the sugar substance is exhausted.
