Honey is a valuable and very useful product, not only used for food, but also used in cosmetology and folk medicine. However, not many people know how to properly store honey so that it does not lose its unique properties.
The room in which honey is stored must meet a number of requirements:
• Low air humidity;
• Low temperature (not higher than + 10 degrees);
• Complete absence of extraneous odors.
Long-term storage of honey in a room where the room temperature is constantly maintained can lead to the destruction of valuable substances contained in the product, since honey contains special osmophilic yeasts that can cause fermentation and souring of honey. If you leave honey on the windowsill for several hours, it will almost completely lose its medicinal and dietary properties.
It is recommended to store natural honey in an enamel or glass container, where the product does not show its hygroscopic properties.
The room in which honey is stored must be protected from direct sunlight, which has a detrimental effect on this product. At home, the most suitable place to store natural honey is in a cool and dark pantry. Most experts strongly discourage storing natural honey in the refrigerator.
