Honey

It is said that honey was obtained in the tombs of

ancient Egypt, supplying as food source for the spirits

of the Pharaohs in the afterlife. The logic behind this

is that honey does not spoil. This particular

characteristic is due to the naturally occurring

antibiotic developed by

the bees that end up in the

honey. This antibiotic forbids

bacterial growth, which causes

spoiling. Its high sugar density also

prevents other organisms to

thrive in it. Going back to the jarfuls
