Why has my honey become so thick and granular (crystallized)?

In its natural state, honey will eventually crystallize. It will do so more quickly if exposed to lower temperatures. Though honey is just as sweet and delicious in its crystallized form, you can easily liquefy it to make it easier to pour. To liquefy your honey simply place the container in warm water and gently heat the honey until the crystals dissolve. Never microwave the plastic bottles in which the honey is packaged, as they will melt, making the honey inedible. You can also accidentally burn yourself when handling hot plastic.
