Yes; what other interesting facts you know about honey?

The oldest honey ever found is over 5,500 years old! It was discovered in Georgia, west of Tblisi, during an oil pipeline installation in 2003.

This ancient honey predates even the honey found in King Tutankhamun's tomb, which was previously thought to be the oldest known at about 3,000 years old.

It’s really amazing. It has such medicinal properties. We use it a lot for home remedies

Try this - Mix four teaspoons of ginger juice, four teaspoons of honey and two teaspoons of lemon juice in three-fourths of a cup of water. Consume. This helps reduce susceptibility to cold.

Do you know in Ayurveda they say honey should never be heated.

Honey should not be cooked. I never knew this until my grandmother told me.

These days many people are baking it, cooking it in cakes and other things – it’s not a good thing to do, according to traditional medicine.

Certain part of the honey turns poisonous, if it’s heated they say. However it can be mixed with warm water and consumed, never with very hot substances like tea, coffee, etc

I thought they found some honey in another ancient Pharaoh's tomb...???...somewhere closer to that Georgia honey...but yes, you are correcy, good lady----honey literally lasts forever. The honey found at both the Georgia site and the Egyptian site were both technically still edible. I'm a honey connoisseur----it's best raw (unprocessed); CLOVER honey is the best-tasting, although WILDFLOWER honey is good, too.

I never cooked it though. We always consumed it as it is. We get amazing raw honey here. And many types of honey you don’t find elsewhere

Somewhere closer to the timeline of that Georgia site, I meant to say...
