Honey is a mix of natural sugars (80%), water (18%) and minerals, vitamins, pollen, protein and amino acids (2%). Around 70% of honey's natural sugar content is made up of fructose and glucose. Raw honey has been shown to inhibit the growth of pathogens in food and food spoilage organisms.
1 Honey crystallizes because it is a supersaturated solution. 2  This supersaturated state occurs because there is so much sugar in honey (more than 70%) relative to the water content (often less than 20%).
