I recently learned that honey never spoils! Archaeologists have found pots of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that are over 3,000 years old and still perfectly edible. It’s all due to honey’s low moisture content and acidic pH, which create an inhospitable environment for bacteria and microorganisms. It’s incredible to think about how something so simple can last for millennia! What’s something you’ve learned that surprised you?
