How to quickly identify the true and false of honey

Honey has high nutritional value and good skin care and beauty effect. Honey is very popular with girls. It is precisely because honey works so well that many businesses sell fake honey for huge profits. Today, Bian Xiao teaches you the skills of distinguishing true and false honey.

1, smell the flowers

Some people say that honey can be identified by smelling its floral fragrance. Real honey will have its own natural floral fragrance, and those fake honey will be pungent because of the addition of essence. Some of them are even made of industrial raw materials, and the smell is very bad. But now people's counterfeiting technology is very clever, this method has been written out, and most people can't smell the difference, because they have never smelled real honey.

2. Crystallization method

True honey will crystallize below 14 degrees, so it can be used to distinguish between true and false honey. But now this is also limited. For example, some people add real honey directly, and this part of real honey will crystallize, so many people can't tell by this. Moreover, it is basically difficult to reach below 14 degrees in summer, so this method cannot be used.

3. Turbidity identification method

Real honey contains a lot of biological enzymes, protein, minerals, pollen, etc., so honey will not look very transparent and will be a little cloudy. Fake honey looks transparent because there are no such substances. However, turbidity can also be easily made, just add some additives directly, so this method will not work.

4. Clear water identification method

Prepare a spoonful of honey and half a bottle. No, pour the honey into the water, cover it and shake it vigorously. If it is real honey, there will be many bubbles, which will last for two hours before fading. False honey does not produce bubbles, even if it does, it is a small amount of bubbles, which will soon fade away.

5, throat feeling recognition method

Real honey tastes sweet and slightly sour, especially after honey is brewed with boiling water, it will taste sour. People may think it is spoiled honey, but this is normal. Moreover, real honey also has a spicy throat feeling, like choking on the throat. Fake honey is blended with sugar water, so it is difficult to taste sweet or not.
