What are the criteria for good honey

Honey source environment.

The environment of the honey source directly affects the quality of honey. Many friends may have heard that one of the main reasons for the detection of heavy metals in honey is that the environment of the honey source is polluted. If you want to get high-quality honey, you must stay away from these places, such as railways, factories and mines, institutions, schools, livestock farms, etc.

Honey must mature naturally.

As I told you before, the honey collected by bees from the flowers of plants cannot be called honey. At this time, it can only be called nectar. Because the bees collect the nectar back, they also have to go through a series of processing by the bees.

Only when the bees have gone through a series of treatments, and then the bees use bee wax to seal the honey, such honey can be regarded as naturally ripe honey.

Only honey that has reached natural maturity is more nutritious and healthier, and only by insisting on eating such honey can we really see the effect.

All natural, no additives.

Truly natural and naturally ripened honey is not processed by any human beings and can be eaten directly. This is how the original nutrients of the honey can be truly guaranteed.

<> it is reported that there are 80% fake honey on the market, I often bought fake honey when I first ate honey, and then I went to test every honey I ate, and now I eat Zhongbao linden honey, all the data are higher than the standard of first-class honey.

The first is the environment for honey collection, which should be free of pollution, and second, to see whether the honey source is pure... The third is the purity and concentration of honey... I chose the honey of the ** "Nectar Liuxiang" family.

It is selected according to the international standards for good secrets. Sure enough, his honey is very good! The taste is particularly natural and fragrant.

You can taste it.

The evaluation criteria of good honey are not single, and generally should be judged from a series of factors such as the nutrient composition of the nectar source plant, whether the nectar source is polluted, and the time selection of honey.

Delicate and mellow. Pollen can be seen.

Although there are many benefits of honey, it is necessary to learn to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of the real from the fake. In general, it is said that high-quality honey has the following characteristics:

1. Good honey is like oil, and has a unique flower fragrance, and the taste tastes long aftertaste, soft and sweet. Honey contains natural pollen particles, which are not too transparent in glass bottles, if.

To be particularly transparent is to be fake.

2 When buying in the supermarket, look at the ingredient column in the label to see if the raw material is pure honey. See if there is a national standard GB18796 in the implementation standard, if the enterprise standard is used, it is generally not pure honey. November 2006.

On the 1st, the state stipulates that if other substances are added to honey, the product name shall not be named with honey or honey as the main word.

It should be noted that the dew is not real honey but is made of syrup.

3. Look at the state: pure honey will crystallize for a long time or in cold weather, such as adding corn syrup.

In some wholesale food markets, bee products such as fake honey and fake royal jelly can be found everywhere. At present, there are four main methods of honey counterfeiting: first, sugar is boiled with water and sulfuric acid; the second is to use less sugar, use more water, and add thickeners to increase the depth of fake honey; the third is to use caramel and syrup to directly pass off as honey; Fourth, add color thickener with syrup.

To this end, food experts teach consumers 4 simple ways to identify:

One is to look at the color: the color of real honey does not look very bright, white, pale yellow or amber, and light color is preferred; Fake honey is bright in color, generally light yellow or dark yellow. Look at the shape:

Real honey provokes visible flexible filaments that flow constantly. Fake honey has suspended solids or precipitation, and when provoked, it falls in a drip-like manner, and there is a broken flow. Look at the label:

Where the ingredient list is filled with clear sugar, fructose syrup and other ingredients, it should be fake honey.

The second is to smell, real honey has a faint floral fragrance of plant flavor; Fake honey smells pungent or fruity sugar.

The third is to taste, the real honey is sweet and delicious, with a slight sour taste, and the crystalline block is crispy when biting, and it melts when it is contained; Fake honey has a bitter or chemical taste, no aromatic taste, crystalline chunks chew like granulated sugar, and the sound is crisp and loud.

The fourth is "hot water dissolving", put a spoonful of honey into the cup, add four to five times the hot water to dissolve, and let it stand for three to four hours if there is no precipitation, it is pure honey and good honey.

There are also the following issues that should be paid attention to when eating honey.

1 Honey should be consumed directly on an empty stomach.

2 If honey is mixed like a drink, the water temperature should not exceed 60 degrees.
