What color is authentic earth honey?

Yes, honey also has a shelf life. Different kinds of honey may have different shelf life. Generally, under good storage conditions, the shelf life of honey can be as long as several years. For example, horse's Qinling soil honey, Xiaowu soil honey and Zhenfeng soil honey can be preserved for many years under appropriate storage conditions to ensure that the quality will not be affected. However, once opened, the shelf life of honey will be shortened accordingly. It is generally recommended to eat it as soon as possible after opening and store it in a dry and cool place to avoid direct sunlight and high temperature environment, so as to extend the shelf life of honey.

In addition, the identification of authentic local honey mainly starts from the following aspects:

Color: the color of earth honey is relatively dark, usually brownish red or dark yellow, rather than transparent or light yellow. If the color of honey is too transparent or light yellow, it may be mixed with water or other ingredients.

Taste: The taste of authentic earth honey should be sweet and fragrant, with no other peculiar smell. If the taste is too sweet, sugar or other sweeteners can be added.

Purity: Authentic earth honey is usually not doped with other ingredients, which can be judged by visual inspection, smell and touch. Real earth honey is usually thick and sticky to the touch, with no bubbles or impurities, and no peculiar smell or pungent smell.

Quality certification: When buying honey, you can pay attention to whether some honey brands have relevant quality certification or marks, such as national geographical indication protection product certification, organic certification, green food certification and so on.
