How to decrystallize Honey?

Gently warming the honey will restore its smooth texture. You can do this just about any way you like, but here are our go-to methods.

All honey will crystallize—it can even crystallize in the hive if the weather gets chilly! The reason why is simple science.

Honey is mainly sugar, including both glucose and fructose, with some water but not enough to “hold” all the sugars. Over time, the water separates from the glucose, causing the sugar to form tiny crystals. The pollen and beeswax found in natural, unprocessed honey also contributes, providing a kind of “platform” for the sugars to latch onto. Honey can even harden to a near solid!

Absolutely! It’s safe and tasty. If you usually enjoy honey in a hot beverage—with tea or a Hot toddy for instance—you won’t even notice the texture, as the honey will dissolve. Some people even prefer the grainy texture of crystallized honey, especially spread on toast or biscuits.

But, if you prefer your honey smooth and pourable, it’s easy to restore it to that state.
