We all love this product, and rarely when in the house there is not even a small jar of honey. If you prefer to buy it from a good beekeeper and, in your opinion, there is little honey, then there is a bottle in the house. But on the table I want to put a nice and pleasant eye to a jar of honey with a spoon. And the search for suitable we will deal with below.
Which jar for honey to choose?
If we talk about the volume of the can for honey, then everything depends on your goals. If we are talking about the decoration of the table and the addition to tea, then there will be enough tare up to half a liter. It is these small capacities that are represented in the largest number in the market. A large volume of honey cans is needed only for long-term storage and stock. But more often it is necessary to speak about decorative containers for tea drinking. There are several options:
- Natural and presentable will be cans of honey made of wood. Typically, for the manufacture of such a container is chosen alder, poplar, but, in no case it should be a coniferous tree. Otherwise, honey will get the smell of resin, and from the oak it will begin to darken. It is important to thoroughly rinse the container with soda and allow it to dry. The fact is that honey can draw moisture in large quantities and thereby simply spoil the wooden dishes.
- Honey in a glass jar is no less common and a good option. For sale use cans with a screw cap, for the home it can be cans with a glass lid and a clamping mechanism. There is also decorative honey in a glass jar with a beautiful lid decorated with bees. Before use, it is also thoroughly washed with soda and allowed to dry completely.
- For transportation, a can is suitable for honey from food plastic. They will not break, they will not spoil the product. However, for long-term storage, plastics are not recommended for use. Whatever one may say, plastic is an artificial material, and with prolonged contact with honey, it will necessarily spoil its quality. This is another reason when buying honey look at the date of packing the goods.
- The only thing that is absolutely not used is metal. And here it is necessary to be afraid of the oxidative process, because there are many enzymes in the product. If you find such a jar on the counter, and it is clearly made with honey, leave it on the shelf and find a pleasant one for yourself from the first three options. This can only be the cans for transportation.
Now you know what you can and can not store this wonderful product. As an option, you can find for yourself a very small ceramic container with a lid and a spoon, but inside it must be qualitatively processed, so that small particles do not get into the product.
