Archaeologists discovered 3,000-year-old honey in Egyptian tombs that was still edible!

Here’s why:
> Low water content: Too dry for bacteria or mold to grow.
> High sugar concentration: Preserves by drawing water out of microbes.
> Acidic pH: Too acidic for most pathogens to survive.
> Hydrogen peroxide: Bees add an enzyme that produces hydrogen peroxide, giving honey antibacterial properties.

Basically, honey is nature’s perfect preservative. As long as it’s sealed and dry, it can last forever!
