Did you know that honey never spoils? In fact, Pooh Bear's favourite treat is kind of immortal. It's so indestructible that archaeologists have unearthed pots of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that are over 3,000 years old and still perfectly fine to add to your cup of rooibos tea!
Honey's low moisture content and acidic properties create a fortress against spoilage, making it the ultimate pantry staple (aside from the rusks you got from your ouma, nothing can top those).
We love sweet things here, especially sweet deals! Speaking of which, we have one that is a perfect place to store a backup bottle of honey or two: Outdoor Essentials' Double Door Garden Shed!
