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:
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.
Raw and unpasteurized honey is honey that hasn’t been heated or filtered. It keeps more natural nutrients and enzymes compared to processed honey.
The more honey has been processed, the less good stuff is likely to be left over. Many of the cheaper Honey you find in the supermarket shelves have been heavily processed and often times diluted. That is simply because demand for honey is greater than the supply.
Well, the best way to avoid crystallizing honey at home is to use it and enjoy with your loved ones as quickly as you can.
next..
-keep it in our airtight glass containers
-keep it in a dark cupbord away from sunlight
-room temperature is preferred ( closest cupbord to the oven) refrigerating below 10degrees can accelerate crystallization)
best way to do so is by warming your honey to melt the crystals. We need to do this carefully so that we dont kill all the nutrients and antibacterial properties of Raw Honey.
**avoid putting honey in the microwave or in boiling water**
1)Place your Vosgi Honey jaw in a large bowl, and fill the outer shell container with warm water. do not use boiling water.
2) After 5 minutes remove the Jar of honey from the warm bath and stir the honey slowly. if theres still grains put back in the water for 5 more minutes
3) repeat the process a few ties until the grains are removed and your honey is as liquid as the day you bought it.
A taste of the old country so close to home
