Why does the honey that I just bought from the honey garden smell?

Boil more water and it will be tasteless, basically within 5 times, it will be tasteless.

1. The smell in the soil honey is that the bees have picked some special nectar source plants, and these nectar source plants smell stinky, causing the honey to be stinky.

2. Honey deteriorates due to preservation or quality problems, which causes the honey to smell foul.

3. New honey smells strong because it contains nitrogenous compounds, organic acids, volatile oils and other substances.

What does honey taste like, does it mean that it cannot be eaten?

The taste and sourness of alcoholic fermentation!

When you open the cap and smell the smell of alcoholic fermentation and sourness, and you see a large layer of bubbles floating on the surface of the honey, it means that the bottle of honey has gone bad, and then you better not eat it again.

Normal honey should taste sweet and floral, and a small number of Chinese medicine honey varieties will have a Chinese medicine taste. When you eat it, it not only has a honey and floral aroma, but it is only slightly sour.

And honey that has gone bad, because yeast ferments inside the honey, produces alcohol and acetic acid. The floral and honey smells may still be there, but they should already be very light.

So what is the reason why honey goes bad?

1. Your honey is stained with raw water, and there are bacteria in the raw water, which mixes in it and causes honey to ferment;

2. Your honey bottle is not tightly closed, causing bacteria to enter the bottle, and the honey will deteriorate after a long time;

3. You use a spoon to bring other things into the honey, which pollutes the honey;

4. The honey you buy is not ripe enough, and even if you keep it well, one day, it will spoil. Mature raw honey can be stored for ten years without any problem.

5. The temperature of the place where you put the honey is too high.

There is a lot of honey that is boiled out of sugar and then added with coloring and honey flavor, and this kind of honey is generally very cheap. Is the honey you buying cheap?

A lot of honey in the supermarket has a strange taste.

Honey generally does not have the taste of Chinese medicine. Everyone's sense of taste is different, and the judgment of taste is more subjective. Some people feel the smell of Chinese medicine, while others feel the floral fragrance of plants, so they can't make a unified judgment.

However, the taste of honey is also related to the nectar source plants collected. The nectar source plants are different, which will also affect the taste of honey.

Like water white honey has a fresh aroma of locust flowers, while jujube nectar has a strong jujube flavor. If you collect nectar from some Chinese herbal plants, honey may also carry some Chinese herbal flavors. Generally, this situation is more common in the nectar species, because the nectar collects a variety of plant nectar, and the floral fragrance is relatively rich.

From your description, you can tell that you are buying second-grade flavored honey. The first grade of Baumé should be 42be. Normal is fine, edible!

Honey will deteriorate after a long time, which is manifested in three aspects:

One is that the taste becomes more sour.

The second is to become very thin (normal honey is very viscous, and the best osmanthus nectar can even be wrapped in clean paper, rather than in a bucket or bottle, which shows its viscosity). Honey spoilage is mainly caused by an increase in temperature, so a refrigerator can solve this problem.

The third is that there are many gray bubbles on the honey, indicating that a part of the organic matter in the honey is decomposed, fermented and bubbled, and escaped as gas, at this time, even if the honey has not deteriorated, the nutritional value has been reduced.

So, your honey is first in bulk, and it is not kept in the refrigerator, it has bubbles, it smells sour, and it can be judged that it has gone bad.

Causes of honey spoilage.

Honey spoils because it has too much water content and is not well preserved. Specifically, there is a lot of foam on the surface, and the honey tastes sour. Fermented honey can not be drunk, remember to buy mature honey, so that it will not spoil, and pay attention to the honey in a cool and dry place sealed and preserved, and tighten the cap after drinking.

Bad honey will produce a wine and sour taste, bubbles, and the honey will become thinner, lose its nutritional value, and cause indigestion after eating.

About the expiration date:

At present, the state stipulates that the shelf life of bottled honey is 18 months. However, bees with high cap maturity concentrations can also last for many years. However, it is better to eat fresh honey, because fresh honey generally has a better color, aroma and taste.

Honey that has been stored for a long time is edible and will not be harmful to the body as long as it has not deteriorated. It's just that long-aged honey has a slightly worse nutritional value than fresh honey.

After the honey is spoiled, it will produce an abnormal sourness, foul taste, bitter taste, and even the smell of alcohol after fermentation, and a large number of dense small bubbles often appear on the surface, so it is recommended that everyone do not eat spoiled honey.

Honey made from different flowers tastes different after being spoiled, but it will become sour, thin, lose its nutritional value, and cause indigestion after eating.

It is sour and smelly, and has a smell of alcohol, which is the cause of fermentation. This fermented honey is inedible!

Summary. There may be many reasons why honey has a taste, the first reason is the nectar source plant, honey is the nectar or secretion of the plant collected by bees, which is fully brewed, so the taste of honey is closely related to the nectar source plant. Due to the variety of nectar source plants in nature, the taste of various honeys brewed is naturally different, such as buckwheat honey, rape honey, etc., and some people will feel that it smells a little tasteful.

What's the deal with honey having a taste.

There may be many reasons why honey has a taste, the first reason is the nectar source plant, honey is the nectar or secretion of the plant collected by bees, which is fully brewed, so the taste of honey is closely related to the nectar source plant. Due to the variety of nectar source plants in nature, the taste of various honeys brewed is naturally different, such as buckwheat honey, rape honey, etc., and some people will feel that it smells a little tasteful.

Therefore, the taste of honey may be due to the fact that some components of the nectar source plant remain in the honey during the brewing process, resulting in a special smell. This is normal and the honey can continue to be consumed. The second reason is to absorb the flavor of other items, honey actually has a strong odor absorption, and when it is put together with something with a volatile odor, it will smell cross.

Honey has a smell that is likely to be stored when it is stored together with something with a flavor.

3 3 Honey can usually be eaten if the quality is not affected, but to avoid this, keep it away from items with volatile odors. In addition, honey may also taste when it goes bad, so don't continue to eat it because the nutrients in it have been destroyed and it also contains a lot of microorganisms, which is not good for your health. To sum up, you can analyze which reason is according to the actual situation of your honey.

There is also a situation that the honey may be fermented and spoiled, because the airtightness of the container is insufficient, or the honey is not mixed with other things when bottling, resulting in honey fermentation and deterioration, the honey in this case will have a taste of food decay, and it is also stinky, and the honey at this time can not be eaten, because it contains a large number of bacteria, which is not good for the human body, and the fermented and spoiled honey is also very easy to identify, in addition to the taste of food rottenness, it also has a sour taste, and there will be a large number of bubbles on the surface of the honey, It is very different from normal honey.

Honey is sweet, flat, enters the heart, lungs, spleen, and large intestine meridians, and has the effects of tonifying, moisturizing, relieving pain, and detoxifying, and has a good effect on dry cough, constipation, stomach pain, mouth, nose and mouth sores, and soup burns.

Honey has a sour taste after a long time because the honey has been fermented, so it will have a sour taste. Special care should be taken in the storage of honey and not in a place where the temperature is too high. And the container for storing honey should also be careful, the seal should be good, too much contact with air will also cause fermentation.

Although mature honey has strong antimicrobial properties, it generally does not deteriorate under well-preserved conditions. However, if the honey is not stored properly or if it is purchased with inferior quality, when the water content of the honey exceeds 21%, it will create favorable conditions for the growth and reproduction of yeasts, which will break down the sugar in the honey and produce alcohol and carbon dioxide, which will cause fermentation and spoilage, accompanied by a strong sour and alcoholic taste. It is better not to eat this honey, because a large number of bacteria have already grown, and continuing to consume the stuffy liquid is not good for your health.

Identification method: 1. Smell: the smell of honey. After opening, the fresh honey has a distinct floral aroma, and the aged honey has a lighter aroma. The smell of fake honey made with flavors is unpleasant. Monofloral nectar has the fragrance of its nectar source itself.

2. Taste: Taste the taste of honey. Pure honey not only has a pleasant aroma, but also has a strong aroma in the mouth.

Put the honey on the tongue, use the tongue against the upper jaw, the honey slowly enters the throat, it will feel slightly sweet and slightly sour, the taste is delicate, the throat is slightly spicy, and the aftertaste is long. After adulteration, the above sensation becomes lighter, and it has a sugar water taste, a strong sour or salty taste, etc.

3. Pick: Check the moisture content of honey. In China, it is customary to take immature honey, so the water content of bee and reed honey is high.

Most of the best honey on the market is processed, concentrated, and has a relatively low water content. Honey is picked up by chopsticks or fingers, and honey can be drawn is preferred, and there is no drawing phenomenon, indicating that the water content is high. You can also drop a drop of honey on the straw paper, and the water trace is easy to spread, indicating that the water content is high.

Pure honey is beaded and does not spread.

4. Twisting: Observe and feel the crystallization situation. In summer, the temperature is high, and honey is not easy to crystallize; In winter, the temperature is low, and honey is easy to crystallize.

Some honeys are easy to crystallize on their own, while others are not. Some people have a misconception about honey crystallization and think that a crystallization is fake honey or adulterated, which is not true. The honey crystals are caviar or oily, delicate, white in color, hand-twisted without grit, and the crystals are easy to melt in the mouth.

The crystals of sugar-mixed honey are granular, and the hand twist has a feeling of sand grains, which is not easy to twist, and the entrance has the feeling of eating sugar.

5. Dissolve: dissolve the honey in water, stir evenly, and let it stand, if there are impurities in the honey, it will float or sink. Honey is a natural product, and a small amount of impurities does not affect the quality of the honey itself.
