    When it comes to honey, everyone is very familiar with it, this food is very common in our lives, it is very nutritious, and drinking some honey regularly can also achieve the effect of moisturizing the intestines, preventing dryness, beauty and beauty. But when drinking honey, I believe that many people will also have this question, that is, will the honey expire after a long time?

    Honey has a strong antioxidant capacity, without direct contact with gas, it can be stored for a long time in the process of preservation, and it is not easy to mildew.

    Although honey can be stored for a very long time, the longer the honey is stored, the nutrients in it will also have a certain outflow, so if you buy honey in normal times, you must remember to eat it as soon as possible.

    Nowadays, some of the honey we buy in the sales market is not high, and the honey storage time will be shorter, and if we buy honey, we must take it within three years. If you want to buy honey that lasts longer, then I also recommend buying these honeys with higher concentration, so that the storage time will be longer.

    Pure honey is honeycomb made by bees from the nectar of flowering plants. Bees take nectar or secretions with a water content of about 75% from the flowers of green plants, store them in their second stomach, and under the effect of various body conversions, they repeatedly weigh various vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates to a certain standard value within 15 days, and at the same time convert the sugar content in the nectar into monosaccharides glucose water and fructose that can be immediately adsorbed by the body.

    Moisture content below 23% is stored in the nest hole, sealed with liquid paraffin. Pure honey is a supersaturated solution of sugar, which will cause crystallization at ultra-low temperature, and it is glucose water that is converted into crystallization, and the part that does not cause crystallization is mainly fructose.

    Expiration means that the food has exceeded the safe consumption period, and honey is not that it will not expire, but that it will spoil lessly. Honey is commonly circulated in the market as a food, and the shelf life is marked on the packaging, which is generally 18 months or 2 years, which is a food with a long shelf life. However, honey is different from other foods, and most of the time it is not advisable to eat expired foods because there is a possibility of spoilage, which is easy to have a certain degree of adverse effects on the body.

    Honey rarely spoils when it is well preserved, because honey is an acidic viscous solution, rich in glucose and fructose, and pure honey has a water content of less than 20%, so honey is stored for a long time, beyond the shelf life on the package. As a result, pure honey is usually edible beyond its expiration date. However, honey may also deteriorate, and the composition of honey has changed after spoilage, which contains certain microorganisms and should not be continued to eat.

    Honey can generally be eaten after a long time, but the premise needs to be kept away from light, and it can be eaten normally when it is sealed. Generally, the shelf life of honey will be about two years. If it is pure honey, the shelf life will be longer.

    Honey adulterated with other substances will have a shorter shelf life, and it will bubble and become sour. Because honey has a strong antibacterial ability, it will not spoil. Most of the honey available in the market is not pure honey, with added sugar or water or other ingredients.

    If the expiration date has passed, you can no longer eat it.

    <>1. Honey will expire;

    2. Honey is a supersaturated solution of sugar, with strong antibacterial properties, generally speaking, the shelf life of honey is 18 months or two years, but natural mature honey will generally not deteriorate in the case of proper preservation, so honey expiration and deterioration is not much related.

    3. The deterioration of honey is mostly caused by improper storage or the purchase of immature honey, and the immature honey with more water content will also ferment and deteriorate within the shelf life. After spoiling, the texture of the honey becomes thinner, producing a large number of bubbles, and has a strong sour and alcoholic taste. However, it is not recommended to eat spoiled honey to avoid vomiting or diarrhea, which may cause harm to the body.

    <>1. Honey will expire, under normal circumstances, the shelf life of honey is 18 months, and honey should be kept at a low temperature and protected from light. There are many studies and practices that prove that honey actually has a strong antibacterial ability. Real pure honey has a strong antibacterial ability, and it will not spoil for a long time.

    2. But the honey produced on the market will add some other things. If it is not mature honey or sugar water, it is mixed with other products, and this kind of honey will ferment after a long time, and it cannot be used if it is bubbling. Therefore, the shelf life of honey is usually 18 months or two years.

    Therefore, no matter what honey, no matter how long it has been preserved, as long as it has not deteriorated, it can be used, and it will not be harmful to the body.

    Generally speaking, there is a direct relationship between the quality and time of honey, with fresh honey having the highest nutrient content, and gradually losing nutrients over time. However, if the honey is stored in the right way, the honey can be stored for several years without spoiling, and it can be eaten naturally for a long time. The shelf life of honey in the supermarket is generally two years, and everyone should not eat it after two years.

    If the honey you eat is fermented, there is a sour taste, it may mean that the honey has deteriorated, there are two indicators of honey deterioration, one is that the honey has become sour, and the other is that the honey has become thin. If there is no strange smell and the color is normal, then this honey is still edible.

    Because honey has antioxidant properties, it can be stored for a long time if it is sealed for a long time and does not come into contact with air. If it is naturally ripened honey, it has no sour taste, and it can still be eaten no matter how long it is left out. This is not harmful to the human body, and the shelf life of natural honey is usually determined by the quality of the honey.

    Honey generally has a shelf life of 18 months, but honey with a high concentration of cap maturity can also last for many years.

    It is better to eat fresh honey, because fresh honey is generally color, fragrant, and tasteful! Honey should be stored at a low temperature and away from light.

    If the temperature is too low, the honey will crystallize and precipitate glucose, and if the temperature in the refrigerator does not fall below 0, we can store the honey in the refrigerator. But in reality, we just need to keep it in a cool, dry and dark place at room temperature.

    Honey is weakly acidic, so glass or ceramic utensils should be used for storage, while metal utensils such as iron and lead should not be stored. If you use plastic bottles for storage, it should not be too long. In the process of storage, it is also necessary to pay attention to its tightness, so as to avoid cross-flavor, deterioration, etc.

    Scientific research and practice have proven that honey has strong antibacterial ability and is the only food in the world that does not spoil. In 1913, American archaeologists found a jar of honey in the ancient tombs of the pyramids in Egypt, which was identified as having lasted for more than 3,300 years, but it has not deteriorated at all and is still edible. It can be seen that truly mature honey is completely edible after a long time, and there is no strict shelf life, but as a food market, according to the "Food Law", the shelf life is required to be marked on the food commodity, so honey manufacturers generally set the shelf life of honey at 2 years.

    However, it must be pointed out that if it is not mature honey or inferior products such as water, these honeys will ferment and bubble, become sour, and become inedible after a long time. Of course, if the fermentation is not serious, it can still be eaten after heating in a water bath for half an hour at about 60.

    In short, no matter what kind of honey it is, and no matter how long it has been preserved, as long as it has not deteriorated, it is edible and will not be harmful to the body. It's just that long-aged honey has a slightly worse nutritional value than fresh honey.
