FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
There are many questions about honey and bees, and these are just some simple answers to the questions we get asked the most..
My honey in the cupboard has crystalised, has it gone off?
The simple answer is no!
The honeys 'structure' can alter due to temperature changes, being contaminated with other products (like butter from a knife), or simply because our honey is very naturally processed from hive to jar with no pasteurising or heavy heat treatment.
Honey that has a higher glucose content tends to crystalise more than honey with a lower glucose content.
Has honey got sugar in it?
Yes, but not the white powdery sugar you are thinking of.
Honey is made up of a natural composition of glucose and fructose, and all it is is nectar collected by bees from plants and trees.
