Quite often when honey crystallizes it’s assumed by many that honey has crystallized due to its poor quality, bad storage or it’s adulterated and not pure. Ironically, just the opposite holds true. If honey doesn’t crystallize for a long time, (except for honey whose natural crystallization is slow) that means it is adulterated and diluted.
In fact, crystallization happens naturally over time when honey is pure and raw. It helps to preserve the nutrients and quality. You may also observe that crystallized honey is easier to spread and is tastier.
The rate of crystallization depends on the type of honey. Some types of honey crystallize completely, while some don’t crystallize fast. If you observe at times how at the bottom of the honey jar there are crystallized layers and there is another layer of liquid at the top of the jar. The faster the honey crystallizes the finer the crystals
