The best way to store honey How to store honey How to store honey

1.Suitable containers Honey is a weakly acidic liquid and should be stored in a non-metallic container, such as a barrel or jar. The container should be clean and hygienic, thoroughly washed and wiped dry, without peculiar smell.

The honey storage should not be overfilled, especially when transporting, it is necessary to leave a gap of 25 30 to prevent the honey from overflowing during fermentation or bursting the container when it is heated and oscillating, resulting in losses. Honey should be kept in a dry, clean, ventilated and odorless room at room temperature 5 10.

2.Storage of different varieties There are different types of honey, such as milk vetch honey, rape nectar, citrus nectar, loquat nectar, jujube nectar, etc. Each type of honey has its own characteristics and flavors, which are suitable for the needs of various consumers. Therefore, it is necessary to store different varieties to maintain characteristics and prevent mixing.

3.Keep it clean The way to keep it clean is to place the honey in a high vat and let it settle in a hot, dry room. The precipitation time depends on the temperature, generally 20 hours take 3 days, 35 hours only 10 hours, at this time, the heavy debris sinks, the pure honey floats on the upper layer, and the pure honey can be fished out and stored.

4.Prevent fermentation Yeast is often present in honey, and immature honey contains a large amount, which is the most suitable for the growth of yeast. Therefore, it needs to be handled before storage.

Put the honey in a large container and leave it open to a dry, ventilated room at a temperature of 25 or more for a few days to evaporate the excess water and store it when it is fully ripe.

5.Prevent moisture absorption and odor absorption Honey has a strong moisture absorption power, and even mature honey will absorb moisture and ferment, so the preservation container should be sealed and placed in a dry, ventilated, room temperature 5 10 room. Do not place items with strong gases in the room to prevent honey from absorbing odors.

6.Crystallization of honey Crystallized honey is conducive to storage and transportation, in order to speed up the crystallization, about aged honey can be stopped in the honey. However, the honey on the market must be transparent and liquid in appearance.

The crystallized honey can be thawed, with a double-layer pot heat treatment, that is, the outer layer is filled with water, the meat layer is filled with honey, and when the temperature reaches 71, keep it for a few minutes before going to the fire, and let it stand for 1 day, you can skim off the surface foam, put it into a sterilized glass bottle, and tightly seal the lid**.

7.The shelf life of honey is currently 18 months for bottled honey. However, bees with high cap maturity concentrations can also last for many years.

Glass containers, porcelain are fine. If stored for a long time, do not use plastic containers.

Then seal it.

1. Sealed and preserved, the honey eaten at home is filled, and a little is poured out after eating, and then the lid is closed and sealed, this kind of lid does not have any effective sealing measures, and air and bacteria are easy to enter. So when choosing honey, you can choose small cans that you can eat in a few days, or buy small bags and eat one bag at a time. If you're unfortunate enough to buy a large can, don't worry, buy a roll of plastic wrap, close the lid every time you eat it, and then wrap the bottle in plastic wrap.

2. Heating to prevent fermentation In the hot summer, honey is easy to ferment at room temperature. If you find this situation, you should put the honey in a glass container, put it in a pot and heat it to 63 65 in water, and keep it warm for 30 minutes to stop the fermentation.

3. To prevent the deterioration of ginger slices, you can put an appropriate amount of ginger slices in the honey to prevent deterioration and taste of honey for a long time. The method is: choose pure and impurity-free honey, put it in a clean glass bottle or ceramic jar, and then add a small piece of ginger to every 500 grams of honey, seal it and store it in a cool place, so that it can be stored for a long time without deterioration.

4. Store in cold water, use a bag to pack the bottled honey, and seal it tightly so that it cannot leak. Then fill a basin of the right size with water and place it in a cool place, then put the honey in it. If your home is in a rural area and there is a well, you can put the honey in the well, the preservation effect is much better, and the honey will not crystallize.
