Everyone’s impression of honey is that it lasts a long time, and this is indeed the case. Most of the bottled honey on the market has a shelf life of 18 months or 2 years. In fact, honey is a special food that contains acidic substances and high concentrations of sugars. The water content of pure mature honey is generally less than 20%. Therefore, honey has strong bactericidal ability. Generally speaking, if stored well, honey can be stored for much longer than the shelf life on the packaging.

Some honey can still be eaten after being stored for many years, but there is also some water honey on the market, that is, honey that has not been fully brewed and has a shorter storage time.
