It turns out that honey, the elixir of life, a carrier of a huge amount of vitamins and useful microelements, which are favorably endowed by the mankind-workaholic bees, can be stored for a surprisingly long time, for this you just need to follow simple rules.
Instructions
Step 1
The main rule for long-term storage of honey is the observance of three conditions: tightness, purity and darkness. Natural natural capacity in the form of ordinary honeycombs is able to facilitate the storage process as much as possible, because it is they that allow preventing unwanted fermentation processes, and also ensure the maximum usefulness of the product without changing its primary properties until the next winter or even next summer.
Step 2
Among other things, experts say that it is the use of the product in its natural container that has the best effect on human health and contributes to the cure of many diseases. The very process of chewing wax promotes the absorption of vitamin A contained in it, as well as effective prevention of dental and gum disease. Honey comb is an amazing product that helps restore vitality and muscle tone.
Step 3
Having decided to store honey in combs, remember that honey is a capricious product capable of absorbing any, even the most unpleasant odors, which is why combs should be protected from unnecessary exposure and kept away from odorous substances.
Step 4
The maximum storage temperature of the honeycomb is considered to be a temperature not exceeding 22 degrees, upon reaching which the honey darkens and begins to taste bitter. The lower the ambient temperature, the more beneficial properties and compounds your favorite product can preserve. That is why it is recommended to place the honeycomb in a refrigerator or other place that can protect them from the harmful effects of sunlight.
Step 5
Do not forget to cut the honeycomb into small plates, after placing it in clean glass jars or other containers equipped with lids, which will also help to gently collect the leaked honey. Never use copper and aluminum containers that can interact with the acids of the product itself.
Step 6
Remember, at low temperatures honey is candied and inevitably loses those substances that are of the main value to humans, which is why the optimal storage temperature is considered to be the range from +5 to - 10 degrees: neither higher nor lower.
Step 7
Honey in combs, like any good wine, requires adherence to a certain humidity regime, traditionally it should not exceed the prescribed 75 percent, which is why it is necessary to carefully monitor and defrost the refrigerator used as storage. Compliance with these simple rules will allow our beloved product for many months and even years to preserve the taste and properties for which we love and appreciate it so much.
