  Honey never spoils. 🍯 Archaeologists have tasted 3,000-year-old honey found in Egyptian tombs — and it was still perfectly edible. Its low moisture and natural acidity keep bacteria at bay, so a single jar can outlast entire civilisations. The Bronze Age's sweetest leftovers. #science #food #history #archaeology

  Honey basically never goes bad. Archaeologists have tasted honey found in ancient Egyptian tombs — still edible after 3,000 years. Almost no water, natural acidity, and enzymes that release tiny amounts of hydrogen peroxide make it a place most microbes simply can't survive. #science #food #chemistry #history
