Why does honey crystallize?

by |Published

Why does honey crystallize? Honey is a supersaturated solution meaning that there is more sugar dissolved in it than technically the water can hold. The high concentration of sugar makes the solution unstable and over time the sugar will precipitate out and crystallize. Only raw natural honey crystallizes.
