How to deal with expired honey?
Honey is a common natural food with high nutritional value, but what should I do if honey expires? Let's take a look.

1. See the shelf life clearly. When buying honey, pay attention to see the shelf life clearly, and choose the purchase quantity reasonably according to the length of the shelf life. If the honey is about to expire, you can consider reducing the purchase amount.

2. Expired honey can't be eaten. If honey has expired, we can't eat it, because some harmful bacteria may breed in honey and affect our health.

3. Check the taste, color and fragrance of honey. Before we deal with honey, we should check its taste, color and fragrance. If the taste, color and fragrance of honey have changed, it means that it is no longer suitable for eating.

4. Don't pour out the expired honey. Although expired honey is inedible, we shouldn't throw it away directly. We can consider doing something else with it.

5. Use expired honey as a mask. Honey has moisturizing and antioxidant effects, and can be used as a mask. Apply expired honey to your face, leave it for about 20 minutes, and then wash it with water.

6. Soak your feet with expired honey. Add expired honey to warm water. Soaking feet can have a warm and comfortable effect, as well as a moisturizing effect.

7. Soak fruits and vegetables with expired honey. Adding expired honey into water can be used to soak fruits and vegetables, which can play a role in disinfection and sterilization.

8. Take care of plants with expired honey. Mixing expired honey with water for watering flowers and planting grass can protect plants.

In a word, dealing with expired honey is not just directly dumping it, we can also try to do some other things with it and make better use of it.
