How should honey be preserved?
From:Sangdi Hongybee  Post time:2022-09-01
Honey, which can be seen everywhere in life, is a good thing. It not only tastes delicious and sweet, but also has many effects, which are very good for our health. Today, Xiaobian will introduce you about honey.

First of all, do you know that honey also has a shelf life?

We may all have the feeling that if we buy a can of honey at home, we may not be able to eat it for a long time, which will give us an illusion, that is, does honey have a shelf life? Of course, the answer is No. everything has a shelf life, and so does honey.

However, it should be noted that pure natural honey without addition has no shelf life. But what we generally eat in our life is honey after artificial processing, or honey collected by wild bees raised by farmers, both of which have a shelf life. In general, the shelf life of honey produced by artificial processing, that is, merchants, is 18 months or 2 years, while the shelf life of honey produced by farmers will be shorter, generally about half a year, because of its contact with the air.

How can honey be preserved for a long time?

Although honey has a shelf life, it does not mean that there is no need to worry about its quality during this period. Because if we do not preserve it well, it may also lead to deterioration and flavor change of honey. So we need to learn how to better preserve honey for a longer time.

1. Seal state preservation

The key to the long-term preservation of honey lies in its contact with the air. Therefore, in the process of preserving honey, it is necessary to ensure that the honey is completely sealed. Maybe what we often eat at home is canned, and the lid of this package will not completely seal. We can put a layer of cling film on the bottle mouth and then cover the lid, so that honey can be better preserved.

2. Cold water preservation

This is also a good way to preserve honey. Because sometimes honey may crystallize if it is not properly preserved, and if it is crystallized, the quality cannot be guaranteed. Some people may have noticed that in the past, when we preserved milk in the countryside, we often put milk in cans and then put it into a basin of cold water, which can keep it fresh. Honey can also use this method.

Can honey be put into the refrigerator?

Generally, we choose to store honey at normal temperature, and few people put honey in the refrigerator. Because honey will crystallize automatically when it is below 14 degrees Celsius. After crystallization, the first is the change in taste, which is not as sweet as before. The second is the change of efficacy. After crystallization, the efficacy of honey will be lower than before. For example, in terms of beauty, the effect is not better than before. Therefore, it is still not recommended to store it in the refrigerator.

The above is the relevant knowledge about honey preservation. Honey has a lot of effects. Drinking one cup every day can not only clear away heat, detoxify, beautify and beautify, but also help us alleviate insomnia and improve sleep quality. Therefore, we need to preserve it better.
