Honey turning to sugar is called granulation and doesn't affect the taste or quality of the honey in any way. However, if you want to change it back to its original runny state, heat it gently, being careful not to boil it.
Just heat it up in the microwave, or in a pan of hot water on a stove.

Why is honey a liquid?

Honey is a liquid in its normal state, because it has the characteristics of a liquid. Liquids have a definite volume, but no fixed shape. Honey will flow to conform to the shape of its environment, such as a jar. However, honey can become a solid when it crystalizes. You can return it to liquid form by heating it.


Is heating liquid honey a change of state?

No. Simply heating honey, while making it less viscus, does not change its state. It remains a liquid. Unless heating is prolonged enough to cause evaporation, the honey will remain a liquid, so no change of state occurs by simply heating.


How can I make honey dry and what will happen to it when it does?

You can't actually "dry" honey. In time, it will crystallize, and heating it will cause it to return back to it's original liquid state. Honey is considered a perfect food. It does not spoil, and has antiseptic properties.


What is crystalline honey?

Crystalline honey is honey that has undergone a natural process where the sugars in the honey form crystals, giving it a smooth, creamy texture. This is a normal occurrence and does not indicate that the honey has gone bad. You can easily return crystallized honey to its liquid state by gently heating it.


What does it mean when honey crystalizes and how can it be reversed?

When honey crystallizes, it means that the sugars in the honey have formed solid crystals, making the honey thicker and grainy. To reverse this, you can gently heat the crystallized honey in a warm water bath or microwave to dissolve the crystals and return it to its liquid state.


What happens to honey when it gets old?

When honey gets old, it may crystallize and become thicker in texture. The flavor may also change slightly over time, but it does not spoil or go bad. You can still consume crystallized honey by gently heating it to return it to its original liquid state.


Does microwaving honey ruin it?

Yes it can, but in a microwave safe container and I would personally cover the container since if the honey gets on the inside of the microwave it will not be easy to clean up. Be aware that heating honey destroys the healthful enzymes contained in it. It can be more healthful to eat raw honey. Microwaving honey can also alter its taste. To make hardened honey return to a liquid state, put the container in a bowl of hot water for 15 minutes.


Create an object that is both liquid and solid?

One example of a substance that can exist as both a liquid and a solid is honey. At room temperature, honey is a thick liquid, but if cooled below its freezing point, it can solidify into a semi-solid state.


How do you soften honey when it gets solid?

If your honey has crystallized, open the container and set it in a bowl of hot water. The crystals should return to liquid. It may take more than one try. Don't put it in the microwave or on the stove as the container may break or split, then you have a real mess.


Which liquid is denser between milk honey and water?

Why is honey viscous and sugar crystalline?

Liquid honey forms crystals over a period of time until the whole container is crystallized. If your honey has crystallized, open the container and set it in a bowl of hot water. The crystals should return to liquid. It may take more than one try. Don't put it in the microwave or on the stove as the container may break or split, then you have a real mess.
