Honey doesn’t spoil. It is the only known food
source that keeps indefinitely in its raw form. In
fact, Archaeologist T.M. Davies discovered a 3,300-
year-old jar of honey in an Egyptian tomb. To his
amazement, the honey was in remarkably good
condition. For centuries, honey was the primary
sweetener throughout the world. Egyptian tomb
reliefs from the third century B.C. show workers
collecting honey from hives. Chinese manuscripts
from the same period contain poems and songs
praising honey and its many uses. Today, honey is
an important ingredient in nearly every culture’s
cuisine
