The taboo when preserving honey that so many people still do wrong, the most dangerous is number 1

Do not store honey in the refrigerator

Honey is a very good material for processing dishes or used to beautify and cough for the elderly and children, so many people often buy in large quantities to use. And then, the refrigerator will be a tool that you think can preserve your ingredients for a long time.

Besides, many people put honey in the fridge to see if it is frozen (crystallized) not to verify whether it is real or fake honey. However, it is best not to store honey in the refrigerator because the room temperature is the most suitable temperature to preserve honey. When the temperature is hotter or colder, they all degenerate honey, reducing flavor due to the difference in temperature.

According to Dr. Duc Man - an expert with more than 50 years of experience in exploiting natural honey, "Normally honey can be liquid, viscous when at normal temperature of 25 ~ 32 degrees C. When the temperature is lower than 18 degree C will take place the crystallization process in honey into very fine and regular tiny particles that folk have a habit called sedimentation. There are many forms of crystallization in the bottleneck, bottle body or bottoms ".

Therefore, you should not keep honey in the refrigerator, because pure honey can normally be stored for about 1 -2 years at room temperature. When you put honey in the refrigerator not only does not help preserve for long, but also removes the good nutrients in honey.

Use the wrong bottle for honey

You should not use metal or wooden jars to preserve honey, as it will cause odor and create toxic toxins.

How to identify broken honey

- Color: normal honey has yellow color, after a long time it will gradually turn to black color, the blacker color means your honey has been broken and can not be used anymore.

- Scent: honey is still fresh, delicious and usable when it has a light, sweet fragrance. If it is left for a long time, there is an unpleasant pungent odor when people mean that your honey has been damaged.

- Taste: when tasted no longer feel the sweetness of honey anymore but instead is bitter. The longer the sweetness diminishes, the honey is even more spicy in some cases due to fermentation. At the same time white foam surface should not be used anymore.

Appropriate time to preserve honey:

For intact wax honey can be stored for a maximum of 5 to 6 months. You should squeeze all the honey in wax and separate to separate. This will limit the fermentation and damage of honey.

For liquid honey, it can be stored for 1 to 2 years.
