Sweet honey should be loved by many people. It can not only be used as food seasoning, but also be used to make dessert. It is also good to drink boiled water. Honey water is very nourishing for many girls. Honey is not only delicious, but also has good nutritional value. It can play many significant effects, such as promoting defecation and gastrointestinal peristalsis.
1、 How long can honey last
At present, the state stipulates that the shelf life of bottled honey is 18 months. However, bees with high concentration of cover maturity can also be kept for many years. But it is better to eat fresh honey, because fresh honey generally has good color, aroma, taste and taste. Honey preserved for a long time can be eaten as long as it does not deteriorate and will not be harmful to the body. However, the nutritional value of long-standing honey is slightly worse than that of fresh honey.
However, it must be pointed out that if it is not mature honey or adulterated water and other fake and inferior products, these honey will ferment, bubble, sour and deteriorate after long-term storage, and can not be eaten. Of course, if the fermentation is not serious, it can still be eaten after heating in a water bath at about 60 ° C for 0.5 hours, but its nutritional value and function are worse.
2、 Tips for preserving honey
1. Mature honey is preferred
Mature honey contains less water and is easy to preserve; Immature honey has high water content, is easy to ferment and deteriorate, and is not easy to preserve.
2. Glass or ceramic ware is the best storage container
In order to prevent the acid substances in honey from corroding the container, resulting in heavy metal pollution of honey, the container containing honey is preferably made of glass or ceramic, rather than metal containers such as iron and lead. This is because honey contains organic acids and carbohydrates. Under the action of enzymes, these substances will be converted into acetic acid, which will corrode metal containers such as iron and lead, resulting in the generation of toxic substances, which will not only lead to the deterioration of honey, but also lead to poisoning.
3. Control the temperature to prevent fermentation
The best storage temperature of honey should be below 10 ° C, because such temperature is not easy to ferment honey and yeast will not grow arbitrarily; Once the temperature exceeds 13 ° C, honey will be very easy to crystallize, and the crystallized honey is more easy to ferment and deteriorate. In summer, because of the high temperature, the refrigerator has become the best place to store honey.
4. Keep containers tightly closed
Honey has the ability to absorb water from the air. If honey absorbs too much water, it will reduce the concentration and easy to ferment and deteriorate. Therefore, the utensils for storing honey should be tightened and covered tightly to prevent the honey from contacting the air and affecting the storage time.
5. Bubbling honey should not be put away for a long time
Once there are many small bubbles on the surface of honey, it may cause poisoning, so it is not suitable to continue to store. In addition, honey has strong water absorption because it contains a lot of glucose. Once the honey bubbles, it means that the water absorption of honey decreases, which is very easy to cause honey deterioration.
How long can honey last? As mentioned above, it is generally stipulated that the shelf life of bottled honey is mostly 18 months, but honey of different types and packaging should also be analyzed in detail, which can not be generalized. Honey is a good nourishing ingredient. A cup of honey water every day is good for the body. It can beautify and nourish the face, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and so on.
