    How do you keep your dandelion honey from crystallizing

    • @rosesallotmentadventures9365
      @rosesallotmentadventures9365 Před 3 měsíci

      It can eventually crystallise, ours started to once opened after a good few months of being opened. You can avoid this by using small jars and hence using up the honey before it has a chance to crystallise or, as I did, stand the jar which had started to crystallise, in hot water. I will say that after about 6 months of being open, the only crystallisation is at the thin layer around the edge at the top, not in the bulk of the honey. This product crystallises a lot less than bees honey

Use food vitamins, vitamin d3k2, Magnesium glycinate, and fish oil everyday this process has changed my body. I was told to take extra b vitamins so i take "Vitamin Code Raw B complex" but not the full amount. Of course you do what your body needs. I was outa wack, doctors said I was getting old to live with it. I said God you know what I need lead me to it and Wala no more pain. Glory to the Lord. He answers those who seek him.
