De ce mierea poate rezista ani întregi fără să se strice. Ce o face diferită de alte alimente

Honey is a long-lasting food due to its unique properties that inhibit microbial growth. Its high sugar concentration, low water content, and acidity make it difficult for microorganisms to thrive. The process of bees converting nectar into honey also contributes to its preservation. While honey can crystallize over time, this does not indicate spoilage. Proper storage in a sealed container at room temperature helps maintain its quality. However, honey should not be given to children under one year due to the risk of botulism from Clostridium botulinum spores.
