So....obviously....Honey.
I mean, they find it in tombs and it's still good.
I do keep this on hand. I doesn't matter if it crystalizes. Leave it. It doesn't have huge amounts of vitamins and minerals, but some.
It's also good for cuts and other owies so more than food!
Actually, that is true of vinegar as well. Good for what ails you.
If you have bee hives, the raw honey with the leg bits in it is fine. You won't die of dead bee bits.
The wax is nice to chew, make candles, whatever. And nice for making salves.
I cook quite a bit with honey which is different than with sugar, bit more fragile and baked goods are better on the 2nd or 3rd day as they sort of get moister. But I am rarely able to leave a baked good untouched for that long.
I don't do industrial store bought honey anymore. Much of it is adulterated. Local honey costs more but supports local agriculture The giant bee operations that migrate hundreds or thousands of hives tend to annihilate local native pollinators so I'm trying to get honey from folks who have 5 or fewer hives. At that level hives can actually support native pollinators. Nothing is perfect so I don't eat as much. The cost of local small producer honey serves as a good road to overconsumption.
