Yes, heating honey, especially to temperatures that a honey warmer might reach, can indeed negatively impact its beneficial properties. While honey is a stable substance, heating it can degrade its enzymes, antioxidants, and other natural compounds. Here's why: Enzymes and Antioxidants: Raw honey contains enzymes like diastase and glucose oxidase, as well as antioxidants. These are delicate and can be damaged or destroyed by high temperatures. Nutrient Loss: Heating can reduce the nutritional value of honey, diminishing some of its vitamins and minerals. HMF Formation: High temperatures can cause the formation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), a compound that can be harmful in large quantities. Ideal Storage: Honey is best stored at room temperature, ideally between 64-75°F (18-24°C). Avoid storing it near heat sources or in direct sunlight. If you need to warm crystallized honey, do it gently by placing the jar in a warm water bath, not exceeding 115°F (46°C).

Tried returning them next day (bought about 500 grams after tasting about three or four pieces to confirm what we discovered and had to spit them out. It seemed like they wanted to put them back to the bin and CHARGE me for the peanuts missing. (about 4 to 6 peanuts in the value of about 25 cents!) Their arrogance (manager involved) was unprecedented. They insulted me instead of apologizing for what they sold me. I spend almost 50 dollars weekly in the store on Bridgeport for last 30 years.
