Honey, The Food That Refuses to Die: Why Does Honey Not Spoil?

from Journey of Everything

Most foods give you a few days. Some give you a few weeks. Honey looks at an expiration date and says, "That's adorable." In this episode, we find out why honey can remain edible for an astonishingly long time, why germs absolutely hate it, and why the humble honeybee may be one of nature's greatest accidental chemists. It's sweet, it's sticky, and it's a whole lot stranger than you think.
