What it is

Crystalline honey is honey that has naturally undergone crystallization. This is a normal process where glucose separates from the water in honey, forming crystals. It is not a sign of spoilage or adulteration, and the honey remains safe to eat.

Why it's used

Manufacturers may use crystalline honey as a sweetener in various food products. Its texture can also contribute to the mouthfeel of items like baked goods, spreads, and some deli items. It is often found in prepared sandwiches, wraps, and other deli products.

Health notes

Crystalline honey is recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is primarily a source of sugars, providing calories. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated honey and its components. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Honey is produced by bees from nectar and does not contain gluten.
