About crystallization
Honey primarily consists of simple sugars, and its tendency to crystallize depends on the types of flowers visited and the sugar profile present in the harvested nectar, rather than being influenced solely by whether the honey is raw or not. For instance, honeys rich in fruit sugars (fructose), such as Purple Loosestrife or Tupelo honey, tend to crystallize slowly, if at all. On the other hand, honeys with a higher glucose sugar content, like Aster and Goldenrod honey, tend to crystallize more rapidly.
It's essential to note that crystallization does not indicate spoilage in honey. If your honey hardens over time, simply place the jar in a pan of hot tap water, and it will return to its liquid form. This natural process of crystallization in honey does not affect its quality or taste.
