Minor point but honey has some antiseptic properties - I believe the Roman army and the gladiator handlers used honey to dress wounds.
Yes, it keeps out bacteria, same reason it 'keeps' for so long and why it was also used as an ingredient in embalming.
3,000 year old honey was found to be still edible.
Can also be used in all sorts of recipes rather than eating pure.
Yup. Hot honey is amazing!
Thanks for the tip, I'll try it.
