How to Clear the Sugar Crystals From Honey (4 Steps)
Honey is one of the longest-lasting foods in your cupboard, remaining safe and palatable for years as long as it's sealed in moisture-tight packaging. The water content of honey is approximately 20 percent when it's sold, according to the National Honey Board, and it doesn't contain enough moisture for mold or bacteria to grow. Over time it will crystalllize as one of the sugars precipitates out of the liquid honey. This is natural and harmless, and is easily reversed.
