Moisture content is critical in honey as it affects shelf life, risk of fermentation, and texture. The best moisture content for bulk honey is typically below 18%, as higher moisture can lead to fermentation and spoilage. Honey with moisture content in the range of 15~17.0% is considered optimal for stability and freshness. This ensures the honey remains thick, less likely to ferment, and ideal for long-term storage or use in food processing.
