The Timelessness of Honey

Did you know that archaeologists have found jars of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that are over

3,000 years old… and it’s still safe to eat? Honey is one of the only foods that

almost never spoils, as long as it’s sealed properly. Its secret is science: honey has very little

water, a lot of sugar, and a natural acidity that makes it almost impossible for bacteria

to grow. The ancient Egyptians loved honey so much, they buried it with their pharaohs as

food for the afterlife – and it outlived the kings themselves. So the next time you see a jar of

honey in your kitchen, remember: it might just be the most “immortal” snack you own.
