Food fact

Honey can last for thousands of years.

The details

Honey is low in water, slightly acidic and contains small amounts of hydrogen peroxide, so bacteria struggle to grow in it. Archaeologists have found pots of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs. Stored sealed, honey can crystallise but stays safe to eat.
