Did you know granite that has not been sealed properly, can embed germs and moisture? Yuck!!! Variables, that do not bode well on food preparation surfaces.
Because granite is a natural stone and is generally penetrable within its porous surface, sealants are an easy and effective way to protect granite countertops. Some people seal their granite countertops once every six months to a year, though stone can never be over sealed. The best way to tell when you need to seal your stone is to test it. One test for determining whether or not your countertops need sealant is to add several drops of water on top of the granite, in several locations. Let it sit for 30 minutes. If the water has penetrated the surface within and has darkened the granite, it is time to reseal.
