Transcript
Archaeologists found ancient honey — still perfectly edible. Honey's secret is its extremely low moisture — bacteria can't survive in it. Bees actually add an enzyme that produces hydrogen peroxide — a natural preservative. Its low pH and hydrogen peroxide create a natural shield — nothing can grow in it. One catch — if moisture gets in, it can ferment. Keep the lid sealed. Follow for more food science that'll genuinely surprise you.
