We always try to find local honey, even if we have to shop out of the way to find it. If we’re going to eat honey (which lasts us for a long time), why not consume the stuff that’s going to make me healthier and feed the local economy, even if it costs a bit more?
Amazing thing about honey — to my knowledge, it’s the only food that doesn’t spoil. Ever. Even after centuries. Crazy!
I didn’t know that about honey. I’ve had honey in a cabinet for about a year, and I threw it out. I figured it had to be bad by then. Now I know different...thanks.
I believe that if properly prepared before storage and maintained in the proper environment, most dried seeds (grains, beans, peas, etc) will last indefinitely.
Honey, and dry white rice (not brown) never spoil. Nor does sugar.
