Honey

Some experts agree that honey does not have an expiration date as such: it will remain harmless even after many years.

It is noteworthy that the composition of honey suppresses the activity of harmful microflora. Therefore, even centuries of storage will not harm this valuable food product.

Sugar

Sugar has similar characteristics: the product does not spoil. However, an important condition is that moisture does not get to the sugar.

The same rule applies to powdered sugar.

Rice

An interesting fact is that rice can be stored for over thirty years under suitable conditions. A cool place with normal humidity is considered ideal.

For long-term storage, it is worth choosing a high-quality sealed glass container.
