Honey is one of the few food items that never expire. Such a bad bitch — honey can be enjoyed in its natural form and also go really well with a wide variety of meals.

Here are a few food options you can pair honey with:

1. Beans

This is for people who like their beans sweet. Honey is a better replacement for artificial sugars and it helps to elevate the flavour of the beans. You can add honey to the beans while it’s still on fire or pour some on the beans after it’s been cooked.
