  • Lettuce. PS 5 minutes later... Oh! Sorry! I got the question wrong! I thought it was about "doesn't spoil you", i.e. "doesn't make you fat" or something. I just realized how obsessed am I with proper nutrition to stay fit and fresh. Looks like I need to give myself a biiig break)))). Obsessions are totally uncool, as it turns out)))). Ok, about food that doesn't spoil-spoil... McDonalds french fries does not spoil for years.
  • I would figure sugar crystals, if they are kept in a dry place.
  • I've heard that honey never spoils. Worse comes to worse it will dry up. And if you add water it turns out just how it was before it dried out.
  • dry foods like beans rice etc.
  • Honey?
  • As a few others have already mentioned, I've heard that honey never spoils.

  • It has been said that honey is the only food that doesn't go bad, providing it is stored properly in a cool place, away from sunlight. However, in actuality it can ferment, crystallize, become toxic from the container it's stored in, and absorb odors. When conventional preservation methods are applied, it is not recommended to preserve the honey for longer than 2 (maximum 3) years. As honey has a strong tendency to absorb outside smells, it is advisable to keep it in clean, hermetically sealed vessels. It is also advisable to keep it in darkened (not lucid) vessels, or in dark store-places. When honey remains in direct sunlight for about one day its lysozyme (an antibacterial albuminous enzyme) is destroyed.[citation needed] Honey should also be protected from oxygen inflow, which brings about accelerated crystallization. Optimal preservation temperature is +4 – 10 °C. The store-place should be dark and dry, preventing the honey from absorbing any moisture. If excessive moisture is soaked up by the honey, it might start fermenting. "Bee honey can absorb the moisture from the air, therefore it might ferment in a damp place" "Exposure to fresh air brings about the soaking up of external smells, oxygen and moisture, which cause fundamental chemical change of the product—decay of valuable amino acids, vitamins, enzymes and "antibiotics". The light has a similar influence." Acacia honey is known to be more resistant to crystallization. "The acacia honey would not crystallize (as quick as other types)… Due to the above reasons (high tendency to absorb outside smells and moisture) it is not advisable to preserve honey uncovered in a fridge, especially together with other foods and products. Honey is considered to gradually become toxic when preserved in metal containers. "Honey must not be preserved in metal containers, because the acids contained in its structure may cause oxidation. This leads to increased content of heavy metals in honey and decreases the amount of valuable healthy ingredients. Such a honey may cause obnoxious sensations in the stomach and even bring about a poisoning…" It used to be preserved in ceramic and wooden containers in ancient times. Glass bottles are recommended nowadays. "The wooden vessels of coniferous wood are not suitable for honey preservation (honey soaks up the coniferous smell in such vessels). In the oak wood vessels honey grows black." Traditionally honey was preserved in deep cellars, but not together with wine or other products. It is considered even more sensitive to the store-place conditions than the best wines. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey
