Why does honey crystallize – is it normal?

Crystallization is a completely natural process. The texture of honey and the speed at which it crystallizes depend on the origin of the nectar and the storage temperature. Honey crystallizes faster in cool conditions.

Honey that crystallizes quickly is not a sign that sugar has been added. The composition of nectar collected from different flowers affects the glucose and fructose balance of the honey, which in turn affects crystallization.

Why is honey not recommended for babies?

Honey is not recommended for children under one year old because it may contain naturally occurring spores of the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which can cause infant botulism. In older children and adults, normal intestinal development prevents the spores from growing, but the digestive system of babies under one year old is not yet fully developed. For this reason, honey should not be given to infants in any form. For children over one year old, honey is a safe and natural sweetener as part of a balanced diet.

Honey allergies are rare, but possible. Allergic reactions are usually not caused by the honey itself, but by pollen or other natural substances that may be present in small amounts. People with strong pollen allergies or bee-related allergies may also be sensitive to honey.
