WHY DOES HONEY SET?

Many people think that the runny liquid state of honey is the only natural form. This mistake bemuses beekeepers. It hasn’t gone off, it has simply formed enough sugar crystals to change consistency. Solidifying isn’t permanent either. If you like your honey runny, simply place the jar in warm water for a short while

The reason that honey sets is actually quite simple to explain. It gets cold – which is why you never put honey in the fridge. And, sugar crystals from upon to the surfaces of the microscopic pollen and wax granules real honey contains. These elements provide a perfect growth ‘substrate’.

Honey, whether runny or set, is just as wholesome and just as delicious. It’s your choice how you eat it.
