🧴 Raw Honey – Care Tips:
1. Storage:
Store in a glass or food-grade plastic jar with a tight lid
Keep in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight and moisture
Do not refrigerate – it accelerates crystallization
2. Crystallization:
Natural and harmless – raw honey crystallizes over time
To liquefy, place the jar in warm water (not boiling) and stir gently
Avoid microwaving or heating above 40°C (104°F) – it kills nutrients
3. Shelf Life:
Raw honey never spoils if stored properly
It may darken or crystallize, but it remains safe and nutritious
4. Spoilage Signs (Rare in raw honey):
Sour smell or fermentation (bubbles or froth)
Watery consistency with separation (indicates added moisture or adulteration)
5. Health Tips:
Take 1 tsp daily on an empty stomach for immunity
Mix with ginger or turmeric for cough relief
Apply directly to wounds or acne for healing
Avoid giving honey to infants under 1 year (risk of infant botulism)
