Other Information
Honey Crystallization: Honey is mainly composed of two natural sugars, fructose and glucose. When the ratio of glucose to fructose in honey is high, the likelihood of crystallization increases. Also, lowering the temperature reduces the activity of the diastase enzyme, which plays an important role in the conversion of glucose to fructose. When the temperature drops, the activity of this enzyme decreases, which leads to honey crystallization.
Color and Taste of Honey: The color of honey ranges from light yellow to dark red. The geographic areas, climate conditions, and the plants the bees feed on all influence the final color and taste of the honey, which may result in variations in color in different harvests.
