Why Honey Never Spoils

Did you know that honey never spoils? Archaeologists have found pots of honey in ancient Egyptian

tombs that are over 3000 years old and still perfectly edible. The secret lies

in its unique chemistry. Honey has incredibly low moisture content and high acidity, making it impossible

for bacteria to survive. Plus, bees add an enzyme that produces hydrogen

peroxide, giving honey natural antibacterial properties. So that jar in your pantry could theoretically

last forever. Ancient Egyptians knew what they were doing when they buried their pharaohs

with jars of this liquid gold.
