Does Honey have a shelf life?
We are required by labelling laws to show a maximum use by date of 2 years. Honey has an indefinite shelf life.
How to store honey?
Honey can be stored at room temperature in the pantry. Make sure the lid is sealed tight after use.
Why is my honey now grainy?
The primary sugars glucose and fructose that are saturated in honey will crystallize over time. This is a natural occurrence.
Filtering (processing) the honey will prevent this but it will also remove the natural qualities of raw honey.
Is it ok to heat my honey to make it more runny?
Yes, although natural properties such as enzymes, Amino Acids and Minerals are mostly destroyed after reaching 58 degrees Celsius. Heating is a process to further filter honey and to prevent crystallisation.
All our honey is cold filtered.
What are the benefits of using natural raw unprocessed honey?
It contains amino acids, enzymes and minerals. It also contains antioxidants and has antibacterial properties.
There are many other uses for honey apart from just eating it.
