It does not affect the quality or authenticity of the product in any way.<\/p>\n<p>The occurrence and speed of crystallization depend entirely on the honey\u2019s botanical source. For example, thyme honey takes a long time to crystallize, honey from coniferous trees rarely crystallizes, while flower honey tends to crystallize much faster \u2014 with some varieties solidifying within just a few days.<\/p>\n<p>Crystallization, like other natural changes honey experiences over time\u2014such as darkening in color or developing a richer, more intense flavor\u2014does not affect its nutritional value and is neither a sign nor an indication of poor quality or impurities.<\/p>\n<p>Archaeological findings have uncovered honey still in liquid form, though much darker in color, thanks to its plant-based origins.<\/p>\n<p>Crystallized honey can be easily restored to its liquid state through gentle, indirect heating, such as using a bain-marie.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;What is Honey Crystallization?&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23223a6e&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;3287&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Crystallization of honey is a natural phenomenon and not&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3289,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-3291","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-the-magic-of-greek-honey"},"menu_order":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beecomeafriend.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3291","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beecomeafriend.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beecomeafriend.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beecomeafriend.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beecomeafriend.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3291"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.beecomeafriend.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3291\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3318,"href":"https:\/\/www.beecomeafriend.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3291\/revisions\/3318"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beecomeafriend.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3289"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beecomeafriend.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3291"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beecomeafriend.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3291"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beecomeafriend.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3291"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
