Clear honey is liquid, transparent honey that has been gently heated and filtered to remove particles like pollen, which prevents it from crystallizing quickly. This process results in a smooth, runny texture that is popular for drizzling over foods or sweetening drinks.
Processing and texture
Processing: Clear honey undergoes a filtration process, which often involves gentle heating and straining. This removes fine particles, like pollen, that would otherwise cause the honey to crystallize over time.
Texture: The filtration process gives it a smooth, runny consistency, making it ideal for spreading or drizzling. This is different from set honey, which is usually whipped, creamy, and unfiltered.
Flavor and use
Flavor: Clear honey typically has a mild, often floral, taste.
Uses: It is very versatile and commonly used for drizzling on toast, porridge, or fruit, and for sweetening tea and other beverages.
Important note on "clear" vs. "raw"
While some clear honey can be raw and unpasteurized, the term "clear" specifically refers to its filtered, liquid state.
Filtering to achieve clarity can remove some of the natural beneficial enzymes and pollen found in unfiltered honey.
