About honey crystallization:
The crystallization of honey is a physical phenomenon. Honey is a supersaturated solution of glucose and fructose containing a variety of nutrients. Because glucose has the property of easily crystallizing. Therefore, at a lower temperature and left for a period of time, glucose will gradually crystallize.
Since honey crystallization is a very complex process, it must be at a certain temperature (13-14°C). If the temperature is too high, the solubility will increase and the crystals will dissolve; if the temperature is too low, the viscosity of honey will decrease. Increased resistance makes it difficult for crystals to aggregate. Crystallization also requires crystallization nuclei, and the number of crystallization nuclei also determines the degree of crystallization. Honey crystallization is also related to the nectar source of the honey. For example, linden tree honey is easy to crystallize, while acacia honey is not easy to crystallize. It is also related to the water content.
