Real honey is very fragrant, but this is not the only difference.
Real honey has one more property, which, by the way, is inherent only to it. it crystallization, or cage. Although popularly called “Honey is sugar”.
To say that is absolutely wrong!
The fact is that there is no sugar in honey in the form in which we present it. Complex mono sugars, bees split into simple fructose and glucose.
Therefore, to be more precise, we can assume phrases such as “honey has fructose” or “honey has become glucose”. Well, certainly not "sugared"!
The process of setting honey in itself is its natural property. The speed and timing of the cages can be different.
For example, honey from rapeseed sits very quickly, literally a week after pumping, and honey from sunflower about a month later. And such an elite honey as white acacia, can maintain a liquid state for up to 3 years. However, he too will sit down sooner or later.
Types of cages are different: coarse-grained, fine-grained and fat-shaped.
It is important to know that honey cage is one of the indicators of its naturalness. But if we return to the issue of storage (I wrote a lot about this, by the way), I can advise using glass containers for long-term storage, and for short-term storage, ceramic or food-grade plastic.
I hope you keep honey in such a container! And even more hope that you will no longer be afraid that he is sugared.
