【 Identification of True and False Honey 】
First: Look at the gloss and viscosity.
The first way to distinguish true and fake honey is to look at its luster and viscosity. Good honey has a clear and oily color, and the vibration is very small when shaking the honey bottle. After stopping shaking, the honey liquid hanging on the bottle wall will slowly flow down.
Second: Invert the honey bottle.
High quality honey has a low moisture content and a viscous texture. If the sealed honey bottle is inverted, it will be difficult for the air sealed at the bottle mouth to float and bubble.
Third: Pull "honey".
Stir up some honey with a small spoon or toothpick and stretch it outwards. Real honey can usually be pulled out into thin and transparent "honey strands", and when the strands break, they will automatically retract and appear spherical.
Fourth: Grinding particles.
To purchase natural "crystalline honey" in milky white or light yellow, you can pick out the crystals and grind them on your fingertips. The crystalline particles of real honey are delicate and will completely melt.
Fifth: Taste the taste.
Honey has a taste of honey, while sugar has a taste of sugar. Pure honey is sweet and slightly sour, with a soft and delicate taste. The honey taste of fake honey is light, and the aftertaste is light and short.
Storage method
Honey should be stored in a cool, dry, clean, and well ventilated place, with a temperature of 5-10 ℃. In an environment where the air humidity does not exceed 75%. Containers containing honey should be tightly covered to prevent air leakage and reduce contact between honey and air.
