Many foods have extremely long shelf lives. What is the only food that lasts forever?
Correct answer: Honey

Save the bees! Without them no food, no pollination, watch your use of insecticides and plant flowers.

gattomalato, children under one cannot have honey due to minute traces of botulism in the honey. Their immune system has not developed enough to combat the small traces.

Also a natural antiseptic for wound healing due to its antibacterial and peroxide content.

Honey is an amazing product that still baffles science, 1
% of its contents are not yet identified. Bees are vital even to our survival (pollination) but sadly heading towards extinction because of pesticides and other things.
It's wasps who are the aggressive buggers.

What? What happens to the infants?

I read an article not long ago that tested US honey & found that most of what is sold commercially is not real honey because it contains no pollen.
This is because large companies microfilter it to remove the pollen so it can't be traced to sources that the US has deemed illegal due to their use of nasty chemicals.
My take away from the article was that almost everything locally sourced & from farmer's markets is real... but from the grocery stores it's most likely not & there's no way to tell where it comes from.

medical professionals are starting to use medical grade Manuka honey to treat wounds as it has antiseptic and antibiotic properties.

honey is also good for chest infection's where the mucus is difficult to bring up ..
Honey helps to loosen the mucus .

This unfinished entry needs to be fixed. Also, the word is tract, not track (digestive tract).

TJRat, unless you live in a red state where they don’t regulate (but actually encourage and subsidize) polluters. TexAss is the absolute worst and most unsafe.

gattomalato, they grow vestigial bee wings and fly around maniacally giggling.
Troglodyke
LoiteringTorch416, not strictly correct. Botulism spores may be found in honey but they cannot reproduce en masse. But they can wreak havoc and grow in an infant’s immature digestive system.

What about the container that held the 5000 year old honey 🍯 did it stand the tests of time?
SysterYster
also, the dryness is caused by the pollen in it as well

lucid_enigma, bees don't sting if you don't hurt them. Wasps might, but generally, only if you hurt or disturb them

Wisenheimer , just pop the jar into a pan which had boiled water in it. It will slowly but surely de-crystallise

So I didn’t know that honey lasted a long time! That’s awesome! Honey is good!

hands up for those who know the proverb.. "as sweet as honey" "😊😊
lucid_enigma
gattomalato, they gradually turn into bees and will readily sting the entire family to death just to get to the flowers in the garden.

Montana Lady, It is always best to buy honey that is local to you.
