Honey is a delicacy that many people enjoy.

This treat is a great substitute for sugar, complements desserts and other dishes, and some also use this popular product as a cure for colds.

But it is important to remember that honey, like any product, has its own expiration date.

Therefore, you need to pay attention to signs that indicate that it is time to throw out the product.

Sourish taste

If over time the taste becomes more sour, then this is a sign that the product has stood for too long and has had time to ferment.

Smell and foam

If white foam starts to appear on the top layer, this indicates that the honey has gone bad. It is no longer edible.

Often this symptom can be accompanied by a sour aroma.

Change texture

When crystals that resemble flakes start to appear in the treat, you should also get rid of the product. If you eat it, there is a risk of getting an upset stomach.

Earlier we told you what will happen if you eat a teaspoon of honey with garlic every day.
