Its potential as a food ingredient is considerable.

Natural variations in honey:

As honey is a completely natural product, it is subject to variation from flower to flower and season to season. In fact the flowers from which the nectar is taken determine its color and flavor. To fill a 500g jar the bees have to make 2million trips to over 10 million flowers.

Crystallization:

Crystallization is a natural process for all kinds of honey. It is not an indication of deterioration. On the contrary, it is the best proof of its purity. Warming the honey container in hot water, or leaving it out in the sun easily reverses the process. As refrigeration accelerates crystallization, honey is best stored at room temperature. It will keep indefinitely in a sealed jar. Honey darkens with age and the flavor becomes stronger. In Europe crystallized honey is preferred because of its smooth texture.
