Why Does Your Honey Crystallize?

The Science Behind Natural Honey Crystals
Honey lovers often get concerned when they see their honey turning thick and grainy. But did you know that honey crystallization is a natural process and a sign of pure, unprocessed honey? If you've noticed your jar of Biju Thadathil Farm Honey forming crystals, don’t worry! Let’s explore why honey crystallizes and why it’s actually a good thing
What Causes Honey to Crystallize?
Honey is made up of natural sugars – glucose and fructose. Over time, glucose tends to separate from the liquid and form crystals. Here’s why:
1. Glucose to Fructose Ratio
- Honey with a higher glucose content crystallizes faster.
- Biju Thadathil Farm Honey is raw and unfiltered, meaning its natural composition is preserved.
2. Storage Temperature
- Storing honey in cool temperatures (below 15°C) speeds up crystallization.
- Keeping honey at room temperature (20-25°C) helps slow down the proces
3. Pollen and Natural Enzymes
- Pure honey, like Biju Thadathil Farm Honey, contains pollen and enzymes that promote crystallization.
- This proves that your honey is 100% raw and unprocessed.
Does Crystallization Mean Honey Has Gone Bad?
Absolutely not! Crystallized honey is just as delicious and nutritious as liquid honey. In fact, some people prefer its thicker texture and spreadability. Unlike processed honey, which is heated and filtered to prevent crystallization, our farm-fresh honey retains all its natural antioxidants, enzymes, and nutrients.
How to Fix Crystallized Honey
If you prefer smooth, liquid honey, you can easily decrystallize it
- Warm water method: Place the honey jar in a bowl of warm water (not boiling) and stir gently.
- Avoid microwaving: High heat destroys honey’s natural benefits.
- Store properly: Keep your honey in a sealed jar at room temperature to slow down crystallization.
