Seed Honey (Starter)
Seed honey is finely crystallized honey used as a starter when stirring freshly extracted liquid honey to produce creamed honey. The fine crystal structure of the seed honey is passed on to the new batch through regular stirring over several days. Typically about 5 to 10 percent seed honey is mixed into the liquid honey.
