De-crystallizing Honey - What do you do with your crystallised honey?
Posted : 3 years ago
Crystallised honey is just as healthy and tasty to eat like its raw form. Don’t throw it out!
If you prefer it to be smooth and dripping, there is a way out… Or you can choose to go on an adventure with your new form of honey.
Temperature has a great effect on crystallisation. At very low temperatures, honey crystallises faster. So, with a little application of heat, crystallised honey will get smoother again.
DON’T apply heat directly to honey, you will be destroying all the health properties of honey.
Instead, place your jar of honey in a bowl with warm water and allow to melt slowly. I recommend doing this in a glass container. Keep changing the warm water whenever it cools down. This will bring back grainy honey to its original runny form.
The only limitation to re-liquefying crystallised honey is starts the crystallisation process right when the honey cools down
It’s advisable to heat just what you need rather than heating the whole jar all over again anytime you need some. Continuous heating will ruin all the great qualities your honey has.
Honey in its crystallised form can also be used in all sorts of food preparation. If you’re not okay with honey dripping out of your sandwich, just spread crystallised honey in it- same taste, same nutrition.
Crystallised honey also works as a substitute for sugar in baked foods. Because it has less moisture than the raw honey, you wouldn’t have to make many adjustments to the water content of your recipe.
The firm texture of crystallised honey makes it easier to scrub with it. Its rough texture makes exfoliation of your lips and body easier. It is able to carry away all impurities from your skin.
You can just stir it into your beverage. Once your honey melts, the crystals disappear and you can enjoy your cup of hot beverage.
Honey matches so perfectly with spicy foods. Crystallised honey is easier to perfectly glaze on meat. The next time you try to grill spiced chicken, beef, pork, or fish, be free to glaze them with crystallised honey and enjoy!!!
Regardless of whether you embrace the crystals or choose to re-liquefy your jar, honey that has turned to clumps hasn’t gone bad. Crystallisation is a natural process and the fact that it is occurring means your honey is pure and unadulterated.
