Honey Mind Blowing Fact (9)
🍯 Fascinating Fact About Honey
Did you know that honey never spoils? 🍯 Honey lovers, you’ll love this!
Archaeologists have uncovered pots of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that are over 3,000 years old — and remarkably, they’re still perfectly edible!
This incredible longevity is due to honey’s natural composition: it’s low in water and highly acidic, creating an environment that’s inhospitable to bacteria and microorganisms. As a result, honey can last indefinitely without refrigeration or preservatives.
So that jar of honey in your kitchen? It might just outlast almost everything else in your pantry!
