People have told me that they have to throw out their old honey because it has gone bad, usually during the winter. STOP, I tell them! It is almost impossible for good honey to go bad, but it is possible for honey to dry out over time and then crystalize when it gets cool, but it is still not bad. When honey crystallizes you simply need to add a teaspoon of water to the jar and then heat the honey to around 100 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit and mix in the water, problem solved! Note, if you are worried about keeping the probiotics intact then do not heat above 180 degrees Fahrenheit.
Now there is one case where honey can go “bad” and that is where green honey, watery honey that was removed from the hive too soon (or you added too much water to), can begin to ferment; but this does not mean that it is bad, it just means that it has turned into some form of mead (honey wine/beer).
For those of you who are still skeptical, 3000-year-old honey has been found in Egyptian Pyramids and it was still perfectly edible.
FUN FACT, Bees must visit approximately 2 million flowers to make 1 pound of honey, meaning one hive of 60,000 bees will fly an average of 55,000 miles to produce it. That is 93,700 flowers per tablespoon of honey, remember that the next time you are enjoying delicious honey!
