Answers:
Honey does not expire; therefore, yes you may eat honey!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Even totally crystallized honey is edible!. If you don't like the crystals, though, just put the open jar into a pan of water and heat it on the stove!. The crystals will 'melt' and then you can stir the honey and cool it, and it will look as good as new, fresh honey!. Crystallization happens as honey ages because some of the water in it evaporates, so the heating in a pan of water causes the crystals to break down again!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes, you can eat it!. It's just dried honey!.


Babies get botulism from honey!. Bees naturally collect botulism spores as they are collecting nectar and mix them into the honey!. Most people can eat these spores without difficulty because we have bacteria in our intestines and robust immune systems that eliminate the spores!. Infants do not yet have these defenses!. So when a baby eats honey, the spores find themselves in the oxygen-free intestine and come to life!. They produce the toxin while inside the baby!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Your honey has crystalized and if you put the jar of honey in some hot water it was melt the honey crystals and liquify them again!.

As far as giving babies honey is causes infant botulism!.

Botulinum spores are found widely in soil, dust, and honey!. Adults who swallow botulinum spores are almost never affected!. When infants swallow the spores, however, the spores can germinate in their immature gastrointestinal tracts and begin producing botulinum toxin!. This has occurred even when the honey was only used to sweeten a pacifier!.

Botulinum toxin is the most poisonous natural substance known to man!. The lethal dose is only 0!.0000001 mg per kg of body weight -- an amount that would be invisible to the naked eye!. This tiny amount in the blood stream can cause death within minutes through paralysis of the muscles used in breathing!.

hope this helps!. good luck and enjoy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

honey never goes bad - if it crystallizes just warm it up a few second in the microwave or run under hot water!.


edit:
their is a bacteria in honey that makes babies sick however our imune systems can handle it after 1-2 years of age depending on different doctors, I stayed on the safe side and waited until my children were 2 yearsWww@FoodAQ@Com
