- Raw and organic honey tends to get crystallize because of glucose and frutcose content which is naturally present in the honey. Honey crystallization varies from honey to honey depending on the natural sugar composition, temperature, nectar collected and so on.
- Crystallisation does not affect the quality, taste or aroma of the honey. It only changes the texture and colour of the honey.
