One tablespoon of honey contains 60 Calories. Honey is by nature very low in bacteria and other microbes and does not benefit from a pasteurization process. Honey will keep indefinitely if stored in a sealed container. It is best stored at room temperature. Refrigeration promotes granulation.
Honey darkens with age and becomes a bit stronger in flavor.
It will not spoil. Granulation is a natural characteristic of pure honey which does not harm it or indicate any deterioration of the honey. It is also easily reversed by carefully heating the honey container in hot water. Honey is sold by weight. In the United States, this means in pounds or avoirdupois ounces.
