Honey is very common in our daily life. It not only tastes very sweet, but also has many benefits for our health. For example, honey can effectively improve human immunity, relax bowels, improve skin fineness, and achieve the function of beauty beauty. The storage of honey is a noteworthy thing, so how long can honey be preserved? Let's introduce it below.

Generally speaking, the shelf life of honey is generally 2 years, and some can be preserved for 3 years. Bulk honey is more likely to be adulterated. But really good honey will not go bad if it is sealed and stored away from light for decades. Some consumers suspect that honey has gone bad when they see precipitation, which is wrong, because crystallization is a sign of good quality of many kinds of honey. To identify the quality of honey, as long as the crystal is twisted by hand, it can be concluded that if it can be twisted into a greasy shape, it is good honey, and the feeling of hard sand indicates that the sugar content is high. In addition, in the market, some merchants refer to variegated bee pollen and honey as "hundred flowers pollen" or "hundred flowers honey", or label them as "pure honey", which is wrong. According to the traditional health preserving theory, different undergraduate plants have different functions, so it's best to buy monochromatic pollen, indicating flower seed honey. In addition, experts remind consumers that when buying propolis, it is safer to choose propolis that has been treated by the lead-discharging and detoxification process specified by the manufacturer or merchant.

In general, honey can be preserved for a long time, but there are special requirements for the quality and storage environment of honey here. The better the maturity and Baume of honey, the longer the preservation time. Honey processed products with other substances or some chemical raw materials can't be preserved for long.

The preservation environment of honey is also very important. First of all, you can't come into contact with metal substances. If honey is put in a metal container, it may go bad in less than a year. In addition, honey must be sealed when stored, and cannot be in excessive contact with air. Then it can't be stored in an environment with too high temperature. When the temperature is too high, honey will ferment when it comes into contact with air, and the taste will be sour, resulting in the loss of nutrients, which will lead to the deterioration of honey and prolong the storage time.
