Honey has numerous beneficial properties for our health and our human body. Both therapeutic and nutritional benefits, honey has been used as a medicinal remedy for millennia. Aside from having a delicious flavor and being used to sweeten all kinds of foods.
The crystallization of honey is a normal process of authentic natural honey. If a more liquid honey is preferred, it can be heated in a water bath.
We refer to Natural honey when we talk about honey that has not been heated above 60º or subjected to any process, unlike industrial honey, which is pasteurized. Pasteurization prevents crystallization, but also drastically reduces the quality of honey, as most enzymes, antioxidants, and other beneficial properties such as its antibiotic action are destroyed in the process.
