The product at room temp is very hard like Lard and has about a 1/4 inch of a almost chalk like substance on the top layer of the jar.Can not be stirred. Is this typical?

Yes, it is completely raw honey. You can place the container in warm water to loosen it up a bit.

Probably-run the tightly closed container under hot water-should soften right up.

it's not a powder, it's like thick, thick gravy. It's very concentrated. Yes, it must be refrigerated

I tried boiling it in some water to test, and it seemed to be gritty still, but that was only for a couple minutes. It is most likely best to not heat too much and alter the proteins.

The tube I got was full of liquid but I just shook it (for about a minute) until it hardened; it started coming out as a thick cream. I left it out for two days to see if it would go back to being liquid but that hasn't happened...yet. Though I don't know if it's a bad batch like C.Ho said since I haven't experienced any sunburn. I'm dark skinned so that might be why.

no problem, that's normal. I keep mine in the fridge and it's also solid, it's just because there is some coconut oil in the mix.

It doesn't sound normal. Clear jel is a corn starch, it shouldn't have much of a smell at all.

It's boiled down to a paste consistency. I know it says that it is from "NOW FOODS", but I wouldn't want to use it as a food item. Am sure that all the boiling that has been done to it would kill off anything that is living. IF you are going to apply it to your hands, use a drop of another cream, like Eucerin, to help dissolve it and make it easier to work into the hands.

These product is made with gelatin "skin" with a liquid filling (kind of like a soft gel) The liquid is flavored and you can chew the capsule or leave it in the mouth for a while and it will start dissolving. If you live in Texas and take this in summer, it may be soft. If you live in Montana and take it in winter, it may be hard, indicating that the temperature of its surroundings can effect the texture as well. My advice - leave it at room temperature and then take it and it should be soft (unless its stale product) Enjoy -STEVE

It doesn't dissolve easily and it does require some stirring. I use it at the office, so it doesn't bother me at all.

It was written on my label at the very bottom. It's 1/4 cu. powder to 1/2 cu water - you have to whisk it, then let it sit for a few minutes. It thickens if you refrigerate it.

Yes! I returned mine. The jar was leaking when it arrived and after I opened it - the cream inside was separated and disgusting! Look as though it was very old but did not want to use it - tried to stir it thinking it may have been the heat during shipping but it never looked like cream.

Hi Dee, I'm just seeing this question now. The other comments are correct, there shouldn't be any grittiness. It should be smooth and creamy. Your jar may have been subjected to heat during shipping. Please email me (if you haven't already) and I'll send you a replacement jar right away. KennyCEOChristina Moss Naturals

Something similar happened to me on my 2nd attempt to make butter. My mistake was that the cream was not at room temperature. It was close to room temp., but not at room temperature.

I have used this for awhile and I can't remember if the jars always have a seal under the cover. I don't think they do because this is a solid and melts in your hands as you apply it. If it were creamy and more liquid it wouldn't be raw it would have additives. Hope this helps.

Possibly it got contaminated either by dipping out of it with a utensil that was not completely clean, or if you left it open or didn't close it tightly after each use. My ghee from this company hasn't had that problem at all and it can take me up to a month or more to use a jar. I don't refrigerate it, and I have never had that happen.

Probably a bar recipe. My recipe has Shea butter, unfractionated coconut oil and bees wax which are solids at room temp. Thus these are liquid when melted, pour into containers and then solidify at room temp.

There is a gritty texture. I need to continue to stir it while consuming the product.
