Honey is a sweet, viscous food substance produced by honey bees. Bees produce honey from the sugary secretions of plants. Bees store honey in wax structures called honeycombs.
Because of its composition and chemical properties, honey is suitable for long-term storage and basically will never go bad. That is because in its natural state it is very acidic and bacteria wil die almost immediately.
The main uses of honey are in baking, coocking, desserts, as a spread on bread and it is also used i some beverages, such as tea.
Maybe you could eat honey that is centuries old. But I wouldn't try it.

White chocolate isn't actually chocolate because there aren't any cocoa solids.
So next time someone says you shouldn't eat chocolate, you can just eat white chocolate because it isn't chocolate.

The fruit is rich in vitamins B, C, E and K and contains a lot of magnesium, potassium, zinc and iron. avocados also contain a high number of saturated fats.
But there is a big downside: avocado's are an ecological dissaster: 1 000 liters are used to produce 2 and a half avocado's. Another problem is that huge parts of forests are chopped to make place for the plantations. And lastly the transport takes a long time and produces lots of exhaust gasses.
think about that the next time you eat avocados!
Fun fact:
the word avocado is deriffed from the Aztec word āhuacatl wich means 'Testicle',
