For not very hot weather, honey can be stored in a cool place at room temperature. However, the choice of container is very important for storing honey at room temperature. You can choose a glass jar or a ceramic jar. When you put honey into the jar, you need to sterilize the jar at high temperature to kill the bacteria inside before storing it.

2, sealed preservation

When preserving honey, it must be sealed to prevent honey from being exposed to the air and easily breeding bacteria. So when storing honey, you can cover the opening of the container with a layer of plastic wrap, then cover it and seal it, and then seal the plastic wrap after each use.

3. Refrigerator preservation

If the weather is hot, it can be kept fresh in the refrigerator. You need to seal the honey in a sealed jar first, and then put the sealed honey in the fresh-keeping room of the refrigerator.

pay attention to

The preservation of honey should first pay attention to sealing, the main reason is that honey has strong water absorption, which can absorb moisture in the air, and then lead to deterioration.

When honey is not sealed, it will constantly absorb the moisture in the air. When the moisture content in honey exceeds 2 1%, the yeast in honey will grow and multiply in large numbers and deteriorate. Therefore, when taking honey back and forth, the bottle cap should be tightened in time, and the spoon used for taking honey should be kept clean and dry to avoid bringing moisture into the honey.

Generally speaking, honey can be stored in a dry, ventilated, cool and direct sunlight place. The shelf life of honey in the market is 18 months or two years, but the actual shelf life of honey usually exceeds this time.

However, when honey has a layer of white foam, everyone needs to pay attention. Bees suggest that everyone smell it. If there is a smell of wine, it is usually honey that goes bad. Because honey contains a lot of microorganisms after deterioration, it is not suitable for continued consumption.
