It's very hot. Do you want to put honey in the refrigerator?

Honey can be put in the refrigerator or not in summer.

If honey is put in the refrigerator in summer, it must be put in the freezer. Honey can be stored in a cool and ventilated place in summer, without direct sunlight, and it will not go bad if it is not put in the refrigerator.

The refrigerator has a cold room and a freezing room. Honey in the refrigerator will not change when the temperature rises slightly, but it will crystallize to produce glucose when the temperature is low. If you don't mind getting sweet, you can eat it, because the nutritional content of honey hasn't changed much.

But when many people see crystallization, the first reaction is that honey has gone bad. Actually, it's not. As long as the temperature is raised slightly, there will be less crystallization. Therefore, people who put honey in the refrigerator should not make a fuss and don't throw away the crystal when they see it, otherwise it will be a waste. It is suggested that honey should be stored in the refrigerator in summer, because the indoor temperature is too high, which will destroy the fragrance and taste of honey and reduce its antibacterial ability.

Matters needing attention in honey preservation

Honey should be stored in a low temperature, dark, dry, clean and ventilated environment, the temperature is 5 ~ 65438 05℃, and the air humidity does not exceed 75%.

Excessive light will destroy the vitamin B group in honey, and vitamins will be inactivated under strong light, leading to the loss of nutrients.

A dry, clean and ventilated environment is to prevent honey from being polluted by peculiar smell or being in an environment with many microorganisms.

The best nutrients in honey are protein active enzymes (an important source of amino acids), organic acids (antioxidant) and vitamins. Their long-term storage temperature is 5 ~ 65438 0 5℃. When the temperature rises to 30℃ in summer, it is suggested to put them in the fresh-keeping layer of the refrigerator instead of the frozen layer. Remember! The rest of the time, it can be stored directly at room temperature. In the countryside, there is a way to put it in cold water or in a well. This original preservation method is still valid. Do not pay attention to sealing, because the humidity in these environments is very high.

The environment with high air humidity may make honey absorb water vapor quickly and deteriorate.
