Crystallization of honey. Why does honey crystallize?.
Honey crystallizes because it is a supersaturated solution. The amount of glucose and fructose present in honey, and the humidity of it, are the main factors that determine the crystallization of honey. This state of saturation occurs because there is so much sugar in honey (more than 70%) compared to the amount of water (often less than 20%). The monohydrate form of glucose can serve as seeds or nuclei, which are essential starting point for the formation of crystals.
We conclude that a crystallized honey is the guarantee of its purity. It is to note that most consumers prefer liquid. We reaffirm that all honey will eventually crystallize. For consumption must be submitted to double boiler, only the portion consumed.
