    First of all, we all need to understandThe reason why honey can be stored for a long time is mainly because the sugar content in honey is very high, and the composition of glucose and fructose reaches more than 80%, and most of the bacteria cannot survive in such a high sugar concentration, which is why honey can be stored for a long timeIt's like our usual wine and salt, but why is it that honey on the market is generally marked with an expiration date?

    This is because the honey on the market is basically made of water honey. In other words, there is no purity of bee brewing, so the water content inside is relatively high, and long-term storage cannot be realized. Here honey can be preserved indefinitely, only for mature honey, that is to say, bees collect nectar and then mix, bee secretions are fully brewed to make these honey can be preserved, good shelf life is very long, but honey like this is produced for a very long time, for beekeepers is very cost-effective.

    Therefore, it is difficult for us to see such honey in the market, and the production of such honey is very small, so it is very high, and the average consumer cannot afford it, and this kind of honey can be described as priceless. But for the ordinary honey we usually eat, the yield is very high, and it is relatively cheap, which is acceptable for the average consumer.

    So in normal times, whether we should buy honey or mature honey, of course, we have to choose according to our own needs, no matter what kind of honey, as long as it is pure honey. In normal times, when we buy honey, in addition to distinguishing fake honey, there is also a kind of honey, which is the honey produced by bees fed with white sugar. Such honey also falls into the ranks of fake honey.

    The shelf life of naturally matured honey is very long, it has a high sugar content, a low water content, and it is difficult for external bacteria and germs to enter. However, when storing honey, it is recommended that you try to seal it away from light, and also avoid repeatedly dipping the contaminated spoon into the honey to maximize its shelf life.

    The maximum shelf life of honey can be more than 3,000 years, why the shelf life of honey in supermarkets is only 2 years.

  13. Anonymous users2024-01-25

    Generally speaking, the shelf life of honey is about 18 months to 2 years, but this does not mean that when it comes to the shelf life, honey will really spoil, this is because the product label says that the shelf life is 2 years, which is to comply with the provisions of the Food Law that the maximum shelf life is 2 years.

    In fact, honey does not have a shelf life in the strict sense of the word, in short, there is no fundamental connection between the expiration of honey and spoilage. Generally speaking, ripe, high-purity natural honey has no expiration date

    SpecializedPeople who breed bees tell us that if it's all-natural honey, as long as it's stored properly, it's okayIt will not deteriorate and rot, but if it is ultraThe processed honey purchased in the city needs to be looked at the expiration date, according toDifferent shelf life of the ingredients addedThere will also be some differences in the length of the .

    At present, the honey on the market is mixed, the type and water content of honey are also different, and immature honey, because the water content is relatively large, even within the shelf life, will ferment and deteriorate.

    When consuming honey, try to choose a clean, dry spoon, do not use a spoon taken out of the mouth, because the human mouth will contain a certain amount of bacteria, which will contaminate the honey and affect its shelf life.

    Whether the honey can be eaten after three or four years depends mainly on whether the honey has deterioratedAlthough honey is known as "food that can never deteriorate", this does not mean that honey will not deteriorate, in fact, honey is also very easy to deteriorate, for example, honey will not spoil after mixing with water.

    If it has been left for too long, the liquid will have a strange smell when you open it, which means that the honey has deteriorated and is not recommended to eat.

    Under normal circumstances, the general family will choose to use the refrigerator to preserve honey, but honey is best not to use the refrigerator to preserve, the environment in the refrigerator is cold and damp, which is not conducive to storage, and will speed up the speed of its deterioration, as long as it is placed in a cool and dry environment.

    Spoiled honey will contain a lot of yeast, fermenting the sugars in honey to produce alcohol, carbon dioxide, acetic acid, etcIt looks like it is bubbling, swollen, thinning, and smells of wine and sourness. Spoiled honey is harmful to the human body, so it is not recommended to consume it. Because honey will breed a large number of bacteria after spoilage, it may cause some harm to the body after consumption.

    Although these spoiled honeys are inedible, they have other uses。These spoiled honeys can be heated to about 60 degrees in water, kept for half an hour, killing the yeast in them, and then sealed and preserved. It can be used as a hair mask when washing your hair, or as a shower gel when you are bathing.

    Because the main ingredient of general honey is sugar, and the content is very high, the effect of sugar is similar to that of salt, which can form a high osmotic pressure, so that microorganisms can hardly grow, so it does not need to add preservatives and is not easy to deteriorate, and can be stored for a long time under certain conditions.

    1. Honey quality is the main factor affecting the shelf life of honey; The prerequisite for honey to be preserved for a long time must be mature honey, but most of the honey currently sold on the market is concentrated honey, that is, it is obtained by processing and concentrating unripe honey, and the quality of such honey is not as good as that of mature honey, and the shelf life is also short.

    2. The preservation method is an important factor affecting the shelf life of honey; Long-term storage in metal containers will cause honey to deteriorate, secondly, the storage environment should be ventilated and protected from light, dry and clean, the temperature is suitable, and it should be sealed and stored to reduce contact with the air, and finally waterproof measures should be taken.

    The above is the reason why honey can be preserved for a long time, you can find from the above article that the reason why honey can be preserved for a long time is closely related to the quality of honey itself and the preservation environment, so if you need it, you must first understand the method of preserving honey, and then store honey.

    According to scientific research and practice, honey has a strong antibacterial ability, general bacteria and yeast can not survive in honey, but it is not forever not spoiled, but the time is relatively long, normal storage, 3 5 years can continue to eat, but the honey after opening as far as possible in the shortest possible time to eat.

    Honey contains very little water and is mainly based on sugars. Drinking a glass of honey in the morning helps digestion, and for people who are often constipated, drinking honey regularly can relieve their symptoms. Honey is best mixed with water to drink, and the honey is a little too thick when eaten directly, and the taste is too sweet and greasy.

    For female friends, regular consumption of honey helps to moisturize, whiten and remove wrinkles, because honey is collected by bees from the flowers of plants, and is fully brewed by the hive in the later stage, which is a natural sweet substance. Honey has the effect of regulating endocrine, but each person's constitution is different, so there may be some differences.

    Some people think that honey will never spoil, but in fact, it is not, anything will expire and cannot be stored forever, so the honey that has been stored for too long is best to tell not to continue to eat, and the opened honey should be eaten as much as possible within a year, and for children, it is best not to eat honey for too long, so as not to have a series of problems.
