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.

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

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.

GingerSometimes, it's also good if you have seasonal allergies. the key is to buy tho local honey from your area and eat two teaspoons per day during allergy season. you will never have to buy OTC allergy meds again.

Lady Jazz, honey has been used for years and years they are not just starting. They are bringing back old remedies especially for ulcers as they cannot be easily cured honey in the form that it is today in the dressings does not work.

Soy sauce also doesn’t spoil due to the salt content. My husband buried a bottle of soy sauce when he was 12 in 1977 and my 12-year-old son dug it up in 2018 and tasted it and it was fine 41 years later.

GingerSometimes, I was exactly dreaming that to answer it is not a solid food
it's a medicinal sap or Syrup

Honey can last for decades or even centuries if stored in a sealed container because of it's low water content, high acidity, and biological makeup. Honey's high sugar content and low pH level make it inhospitable for organisms that spoil food.
Honey's acidic nature, with a pH level between 3 and 4.5, also contributes to its longevity. Honey's high sugar content prevents germs from growing, and oxygen can't dissolve in honey, making it difficult for germs to grow there.

Lady Jazz, I wonder why the millitary hospitals don't use it. Are they afraid the soldiers will lick the treatment off?
Duchess
Well, that's one I know I won't eat anymore. Bee vomit. Yummy!
