Lime honey, and moonflower honey, change colour and texture as it matures over time but is usually light-gold and clear in colour and texture, respectively. Consider taking 2-3 teaspoons of honey daily as a health-giving eating practice. Organic raw money comes with the tendency to crystallise faster, and the reason is its high glucose to fructose ratio.
