Six ways to identify genuine and fake honey

Many unscrupulous merchants now sell fake honey and damage the rights and interests of consumers. So distinguishing between genuine and fake honey is particularly important. Here are a few basic ways:

1.Flavor identification

Normal genuine honey is a natural plant aroma. If it is a specific honey, it also has the inherent fragrance of honey plants, and the fake honey, this aroma is made up by adding the fragrance, if there is no aroma.

2.Dissolution method

During the process of dissolution, genuine honey will soon sink into the bottom of the cup, and it will not melt easily. When stirring slowly with chopsticks, there will be a series of phenomena. If it is fake honey, it will soon dissolve into the water.

3.Napkin method

For liquid honey, a drop of honey on a napkin, genuine honey, does not spread; fake honey easily spread open.

4.Drawing method

By picking up honey with chopsticks or fingers, genuine honey can be drawn; fake honey cannot be drawn or drawing can be broken.

5.Taste tasting

The fragrance of genuine honey has a sweet smell of sweetness, and the throat of food is slightly spicy. Crystal bites are crisp when crystallizing. Even if the fake honey can crystallize, carefully taste bitter or chemical strange taste, no aroma, chewing sugar, crispy sound.

6.Baking method

Take a small amount of honey on a clean glass and bake it with fire. After the water evaporates, stop heating and let it cool down. The genuine honey remains soft; the fake honey remains hard and brittle.
