Honey is a mix of natural sugars (80%), water (18%) and minerals, vitamins, pollen, protein and amino acids (2%). Around 70% of honey's natural sugar content is made up of fructose and glucose. Raw honey has been shown to inhibit the growth of pathogens in food and food spoilage organisms.
Very few bacteria or microorganisms can survive in an environment like that, they just die. Theyâre smothered by it, essentially.â What Harris points out represents an important feature of honeyâs longevity: for honey to spoil, there needs to be something inside of it that can spoil. With such an inhospitable environment, organisms canât survive long enough within the jar of honey to have the chance to spoil. Honey is also naturally extremely acidic. âIt has a pH that falls between 3 and 4.5, approximately, and that acid will kill off almost anything that wants to grow there,â Harris explains.
