What it is

Honey crystals are granulated honey. They are made by drying liquid honey, often with the help of a carrier like corn syrup or maltodextrin, and then grinding it into fine crystals. This process makes honey easier to handle and incorporate into dry food products.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use honey crystals as a sweetener and flavor enhancer, providing a honey taste in a dry form. They are commonly found in baked goods, cereals, snack mixes, and confectionery products where a consistent honey flavor is desired without adding moisture.

Health notes

Honey crystals are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are primarily composed of sugars, offering calories and a sweet taste. JECFA has evaluated honey and established an acceptable daily intake. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption of honey crystals.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Honey is produced by bees from nectar and does not inherently contain any of the nine major allergens. Gluten is not present.
