Define separated? I have a glass of 100% real honey from my coworkers dad's hive and it also "separated", i.e. the sugar cristallized in the bottom.

Hint: warm it up (the entire container) and stir it and it goes back to normal.

yeah, sugar crystals were at the bottom, it's mixed into a recipe so it wasn't a big deal or anything, i was just curious.

I think that crystallization of sugar is actually more common in natural honey then in heavily processed honey.

It's a matter of excess moisture in the honey, usually. Commercial honey is usually heat dried a bit to remove extra moisture and thus make it more shelf stable. Honey which is less processed tends to crystallize much faster, though it is perfectly fine to eat and will normally re-liquify if the container is carefully simmered in some water for a bit.

We keep bees and thus always have tons of honey, and it all crystallizes. Not a big deal at all.

Crystalized honey almost lets me pretend like I'm eating honeycomb.

...almost. :negative:

Broken! Busted! Everybody has something to repair. Before buying new, let Mighty Putty fix it for you.
I just picked up sum me honey with the honeycomb in it. How do I go about eating the honeycomb? Do I just chew on it or do I actually consume it?
