Honey Crystallization (Granulation)
Crystallization is defined as a natural occurring process of Honey that changes it from liquid to solid. Some people think the honey is spoiled as it crystallizes, but crystallization in Honey occurs when the Honey molecules are at optimum temperature, and it then begins to crystallize. So after being extracted from the Honey-comb, honey tends to crystallize much faster than it were in the wax cells.
