Why does the texture of honey change over time?

Honey crystallization is a natural phenomenon where honey changes from a liquid state to a grainy texture due to the formation of glucose crystals. This process depends on its composition (glucose and fructose), the temperature, and its floral origin. The higher the glucose content, the faster the honey crystallizes. This is not a sign of spoilage, but rather of purity and authenticity. Honeys rich in fructose, such as acacia or chestnut, remain liquid longer, while others, like lavender, crystallize more quickly and can be cold-stirred to obtain a creamy texture.
