Does honey have an expiration date: here's what nuance you need to pay attention to

The popular opinion was confirmed, but with one caveat.

There is an opinion that honey is one of those products that can be stored for hardly centuries.

Experts do not quite agree with this statement. Natural honey does not have a strict expiration date, like meat or milk, for example.

Bacteria do not usually get into honey, so it cannot go bad like many other products.

But honey has its own peculiarities. The main one is that the product can become candied after a certain time. This process is accelerated if the basic storage rules are violated.

When honey crystallizes, it takes on a different structure and becomes less suitable for sauces or additives.

In addition, this product should not be boiled, because it will lose all its useful properties. The result will be a regular sweet syrup.
