Raw and unpasteurized honey, like Vosgi Honey, is honey that has not undergone pasteurization or filtration, preserving its natural enzymes, vitamins, and antioxidants. Unlike supermarket honey, which is often heated and filtered, raw honey retains its unique taste, texture, and health benefits. The pasteurization process used in commercial honey can destroy beneficial enzymes and antioxidants, while filtration removes valuable pollen, which has anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties. Vosgi Honey, sourced directly from our hives, ensures purity and quality, offering superior taste and maximum health benefits. By choosing Vosgi Honey, you are opting for a product that provides the natural goodness and nutritional advantages of truly raw, unpasteurized honey.
Honey crystallization is a natural process and is often signals an authentic and unadulterated product.
if temperatures get to low, we have even seen honey crystallize in the hive. studies have shown that pollen and bees wax particles can influence the rate in which honey can crystallize. if a honey has these particles it is less likely to have gone through intense processing and is in face a sign of a pure honey product.
crystallization occurs when glucose, one of the main sugars in honey, separates from water and forms crystals. This process happens due to the saturation of glucose in the honey solution. Some factors contribute to the crystallization of honey:
Composition of Honey: Honey is a supersaturated solution of sugars, primarily glucose and fructose, in water. When the concentration of glucose exceeds its solubility limit, it starts to form crystals. All raw honey will crystallize due to glucose .
Presence of Pollen and Other Particles: Pollen grains and other particles act as nuclei for crystallization, providing surfaces for glucose molecules to adhere to and form crystals.
Time: Over time, all honey will eventually crystallize to some degree, as it is a natural characteristic of honey.
It's essential to note that crystallization is not an indicator of honey quality. In fact, crystallized honey is perfectly safe to eat and retains all of its nutritional properties.
To prevent honey from crystallizing, the best strategy is to use and enjoy it with your loved ones as quickly as possible. However, if you need to store it, follow these tips to keep your honey smooth and liquid:
