How to Store Honey, and One Important Warning

Keep honey in a sealed jar at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. There is no need to put it in the fridge.

Over time, honey may turn thick and grainy. This is called crystallization, and it is completely natural. It doesn't mean the honey has gone bad.

To make it runny again, stand the jar in a bowl of warm water and stir gently.

One important warning: never give honey to babies under 12 months old. It can contain bacterial spores that can cause infant botulism, a rare but serious illness.
