All pure honey granulates - some in a week or so and some not for several years . To liquefy, place the container in very hot water (but not boiling) and let stand until completely liquefied.
Store your honey at room temperature in an air tight container in a dry area preferably in the pantry. Storing in the refrigerator isn’t recommended as it promotes crystallization. The best storage temperature for honey is between 70-80°F, and is best if kept at a constant temperature with minimal fluctuations.

The optimum recommended daily consumption of honey is 3 to 5 tablespoons taken in divided doses. Take 1 to 2 tablespoons of honey just before bedtime. Another tablespoon should be consumed with breakfast in the morning, and another tablespoon or two is recommended before and after any period of exercise during the day. Adding a few tablespoons to your daily routine will make a big difference in your overall health.
HONEY & DIABETES Honey consumption regulates blood sugar, reducing the high and preventing the low, and regular honey consumption results in lower average blood sugar levels. After ingestion, honey is rapidly absorbed and converted into glycogen in the liver, thus removing glucose from the circulation and lowering blood sugar levels. The effect of honey on blood sugar levels is due to its ideal combination of fructose and glucose - a unique composition that facilitates the direct formation of liver glycogen and lowers blood sugar levels. Lower blood sugar levels mean a lessened demand for and release of insulin, thus accounting for a stabilization of blood sugar within the circulation. Honey consumption before bedtime also limits the production and release of cortisol during the night. Cortisol is an adrenal hormone present during rest to ensure that circulating blood sugar levels remain adequate to fuel the brain during sleep. When liver glycogen levels are adequate, cortisol is not needed for this function. A reduction in cortisol levels means that one experiences less metabolic stress and has a lower risk for the disease and conditions associated with the metabolic syndrome. HONEY & IMMUNE SYSTEM Clinical laboratory studies have demonstrated that regular consumption of honey results in elevation of platelet counts, stabilization of hemoglobin levels, and improvements in white blood cell counts - all results that are associated with improved immune system functioning. HONEY & THE HEART The human heart never sleeps; it must always recover "on the fly" The most potent risk factor for heart disease is chronic exposure to increase levels of the stress hormones cortisol and adrenalin. Chronically increased levels of adrenaline increase heart rate and blood pressure. Chronically elevated cortisol levels cause hypertension, arrhythmia, stroke and atherosclerosis. Honey consumption reduce metabolic stress during rest, thus reducing the stress on the heart while it is recovering. Honey also reduces chronic cortisol and adrenalin production and release during the night, thus lowering the risk for cardiovascular disease. HONEY & DREAMS The most common and interesting anecdotes reported from those who consume a tablespoon or two of honey before bedtime related to dreams and dream recall. Dreams are more vivid, intense, and colorful. How long will it take to experience the effects of Honey? Within
a few days, sleep patterns will change and dreams will be more vivid,
indicating more restful sleep. And within two to three weeks, blood sugar
levels will be more regulated, which will be more obvious to some who
are used to experiencing extreme high and low levels.![]() Sources: The Honey Revolution Restoring the Health of Future Generations |
