Raw honey will last a very long time and even if it crytallizes just put it out in the summer sun or gently melt it no higher then 90 degrees to avoid loss of vitamins/omega acids/amino acids etc.

Archaeologists found edible honey in the tombs of ancient Egyptians. Honey's chemistry is uniquely well suited to a ridiculously long shelf life. It might crystallize but that's only a change of state, like water freezing. The honey is essentially unchanged and can be re-liquified with gentle heating. Kept in a closed container, fresh honey can be passed down from one generation to the next, an heirloom of good food that will still be perfectly edible, no matter how long it's kept.

Raw unheated honey will last indefinitely; I am trying to find out if this honey is in plastic or glass-I certainly hope it comes in glass! Julene W.

Raw organic honey will last indefinitely. It is the only pure food. I had one jar that somehow got pushed back on the shelf for 2 years in my pantry, which can get a bit too warm in our Texas summers, and when I found it and opened it, it was just as good as it was when I first ordered it. I do buy in bulk usually and have never had any problem with spoilage with any of this raw honey.

I usually use it up before the expiration date but as long as you keep the container covered so the contents do not get wet your Fruit Fresh should be good to use. With proper storage, you should be able to use it for a year or so after opening. I tend to agree about indefinite storage. The big thing is keep it dry and store in a dark cupboard.

Just look on internet for recipe for SALINE solution. My doc had me make my own years ago. I wouldnt make a large quantity though cuz you want it fresh. I believe I stored in fridge. Just micro till comfortable temp before use.

I believe you can keep raw honey, even the heated kind, indefinitely. Should be stored in cool, dry place. The raw honey is much healthier than the heated honey.

Honey stays good forever.. if it sugars up just set the bottle in a pan of hot water and heat at a low temp until liquid.. I dont have the bottle anymore because I used it up

Raw honey has an indefinite shelf life. I've seen that fact listed in many sources, but here's one for your assurance: http://www.honey.com/faq/Here's another source positing the same answer, and you may research the shelf life of any food product here: http://www.stilltasty.com/fooditems/index/17413

The bottle says "Do not keep in refrigerator", so I just stored it like honey or cereal at room temperature. And just like honey, it will remain fresh all the time until you finish the bottle.

You use what you've mixed up at that time. It will store, I understand, for a few days in the refrigerator if not totally used at the time. You need to beat it again to get the air back into the mix again at that time. If you keep it longer than that, it will dry out or spoil. The package was smaller than I'd pictured, also.

I have it in my cupboard. It should keep for 2+ years that way, but one can put it in the freezer too. You can store in a glass jar or leave in the resealable bag it comes in.

Same here. I used some at Christmas, and refrigerated the remaining container. Still fine. Based on similar products, as long as you keep it sealed and refrigerated after opening, it will last many months

I've just started using this product. My first order was the 2-pound bag. Since I was baking for Christmas, I used it up very quickly, within 10 days. I didn't keep it in the refrigerator and it seemed fine. My 5-pound bag arrived yesterday. I wasn't planning to refrigerate it, but maybe I should. When nuts are whole (not ground into powder), all the nuts except walnuts are fine at room temperature. Walnuts go rancid much more easily and should be kept in the fridge. Whole wheat flour also goes rancid easily, and I have always kept it refrigerated. I transfer the flour into quart-sized canning jars first.

The website states to store in a cool, dry place. However, I am not sure if storing it this way will prevent it from forming botulism. I only use this product externally and have never taken it orally.

Yes. On the side of the jar it says that it is "unpasteurized", "unfiltered", "fresh raw state." Mine doesn't look like the one pictured. Mine actually has 100% certified organic raw honey with the green and white usda organic seal on the jar. This one shown in the picture doesn't have the word raw therefore, I'm not sure. They took the time to list it on the jar I have so I would think that if it is not listed then it's not.

That's a really good question. I wondered the same thing the first time I purchased. However, I think it may have to do with the fact that it's unprocessed and thus the consistency. Processed honeys filter out allot of the binders from what I've seen on YT about organic honey products. I typically leave it out by my coffee maker so that it stays warm instead of in the cabinet. Hope this helped.

This product is usually sold by a "third" seller, someone who helps Amazon sell some of their products, I think. When I had such a problem I went to Amazons page & clicked on refund/exchange & followed instructions. By all means order the lid. It is one of the best kitchen products I have. In my own private test it kept some produce for up to 3 weeks. I bought one for my daughter & one for my best friends. Good Luck.

Personally, I kept my first bag for 3 years (or longer) on the lower door shelf of my refrigerator and had no problems, at all! My second bag I kept for almost 2 years in the same place. I still tasted the strong brute flavor in my homemade ice cream and brownie recipes, which are chemical free. Love it! I didn't pay attention to expiration dates--just experimented for myself. If it had to stay 5 years in my fridge, I'd still use it. That's how confident I am in this product, based upon my usage. Hope this helps.
