Raw and unfiltered honey, crafted by our favorite buzzing buddies, often takes on a white, solid appearance over time – sometimes even sooner than you’d expect! It might look hard and crunchy or turn completely solid. But don’t worry, this is completely normal and tells you one thing: you’re buying the real deal, not a honey-flavored syrup in a cute bear-shaped bottle.
While honey doesn’t expire, it can change shape. This shape-shifting process, called crystallization, is entirely natural. Let’s explore what this crunchy honey transformation is all about.
Real Honey Crystallizes
When your honey crystallizes, it’s a sign you’ve chosen a real, natural honey product like NaturalleTrue’s 100% pure, raw honey. Crystallization occurs due to the natural properties of honey.
The sugars in honey (glucose and fructose) bind together and form tiny crystals, which cause the honey to solidify. Different honey types crystallize at different rates based on their unique blends. At NaturalleTrue, we prioritize quality and flavor, ensuring our honey is free from additives or excessive processing that could slow down crystallization but compromise its purity.
The pollen in honey also plays a role in this process. Pollen particles provide a platform for the crystals to form. While this might reduce shelf appeal because the honey appears solid, it’s a hallmark of authenticity and a reminder that you’re enjoying a natural product made by bees.
Keeping It Crunchy
Crystallized honey is still honey! It’s perfectly safe to eat and doesn’t mean your honey has gone bad. On the contrary, it’s a testament to its purity and goodness.
You can embrace the texture of crystallized honey. Spread it onto toast, biscuits, or bagels for a mess-free honey experience. It’s also great for stirring into oatmeal, drizzling on salads, or adding to sandwiches for a delightful burst of sweetness.
Crystallized honey melts seamlessly into hot drinks and baked goods, making it just as versatile as liquid honey.
Returning to Drizzling
If you prefer the classic liquid honey texture, it’s easy to restore:
- Warm Water Bath: Place your honey jar in a bowl of warm water and let it sit until the crystals dissolve. Avoid boiling water, as excessive heat can damage honey’s beneficial properties.
This gentle process ensures your honey regains its smooth, flowing consistency without losing its natural goodness.
