Cooking For Health: Honey - Nutritive to the Core
Storing Honey:
Store in a covered container in a dry place at room temperature. If exposed to the air, honey tends to lose its flavor and absorb moisture. Honey kept some time tends to become darker and stronger, but will still be usable. It may also crystallize if kept at too cool a temperature. However, this does not affect the quality of the honey. In fact, crystallization will occur more readily in a pure and better quality honey. Sometimes a white layer will form on top of crystallized honey as tiny air bubbles are squeezed onto the surface. This does not mean the honey is spoiled. Pure, natural raw honey will never spoil and crystallization can easily be remedied by placing the container in warm water until the crystals disappear.
