How to see the authenticity of honey? What is real honey?

Look carefully: Look at the color: Real honey is transparent or translucent in color.

Because real honey contains some proteins, biological enzymes, minerals and pollen, it does not look very bright, white, pale yellow or amber, and light color is preferred. Because fake honey is boiled with white sugar or passed off with syrup, it has a bright color, generally light yellow or dark yellow; Look at the shape: real honey is a viscous liquid, provoked by visible flexible filaments, and constantly flowing.

Fake honey has suspended solids or precipitation, small viscosity, droplets when provoked, and there is a broken flow. Real honey becomes thinner after exposure, while fake honey has no change or is more viscous. If the honey is very thin and flows easily, it may be mixed with water; Look at the label:

There are some honey products that indicate ingredients such as sucrose, sugar, fructose syrup, etc., which are not allowed to be added to pure honey products.

Smell carefully: Real honey has a pure, natural smell with a faint floral hint of botanical, while fake honey smells pungent or fruity sugar.

Taste it in person: Real honey is sweet and delicious, with a sticky mouthfeel, a slight sour taste, and a long aftertaste. Fake honey tastes bitter or chemically strange when tasted carefully, has no aromatic flavor, and the crystalline blocks chew like granulated sugar, and the sound is crisp and loud.

Hot water dissolving: Put a spoonful of honey into a cup, add four to five times 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.

Others: In addition, for the best honey mixed with water or other impurities on the market, it can be identified by the following methods: distinguish honey mixed with water and sucrose:

Drop the honey on white paper or straw paper, if the honey on the paper gradually seeps away, it means that it is mixed with sucrose and water; Distinguish honey mixed with starch: put a small amount of honey into a cup, add an appropriate amount of water, boil, wait for cooling, drop a few drops of iodine wine, if the color of the solution turns blue, it means that it is mixed with starch; Distinguish honey mixed with impurities: use a red-hot iron wire to insert it into the honey, if there is stickiness attached to the wire, it means that it is adulterated; If the wire is still smooth, it means that there are no impurities.

Methods for identifying royal jelly:

The liquid surface is flat, there is no air groove, the smell is slightly fragrant, the tongue has a sour and astringent taste when entering the mouth, and there is a slight spicy feeling.

You can see it from a color, a smell or a shake.

We can also identify the authenticity of honey through the nose, real honey is a smell of plant flowers, which smells refreshing, while fake honey is a flavor smell, and the smell of sucrose is very pungent, we can take a small amount of honey in the palm of our hand, rub it repeatedly for 15 seconds, real honey can still smell the fragrance of flowers, and fake honey only smells of syrup. Real honey has the effect of beauty and skin care, which can make ** delicate and smooth, and can improve skin texture. But there are also many profiteers who carry out adulteration, so when buying honey, we have to learn to identify.

First of all, we need to look at the color of the honey, if the color of the honey is very pure, it means that the honey is real, but also look at the density of the honey, turn the bottle of honey upside down, if the flow is particularly slow, there are some crystals in it, indicating that the honey is also real.

It can be distinguished by color, by consistency, by sediment, by taste, but also by mouthfeel.

1. Look at its color, honey contains some proteins, biological enzymes, minerals and pollen, so it does not look very bright, light yellow or amber, and light light color is better. Fake honey is boiled with white sugar or passed off with syrup, and the color is bright, generally light yellow or dark yellow.

In addition, the color of honey is caused by the different pollen contained in honey. Therefore, dark honey is more nutritious than light-colored honey, but dark honey often contains a stronger smell, such as buckwheat honey; Light-colored honey generally smells fragrant, such as locust honey.

2. Smell its smell, real honey can exude a unique honey fragrance a few months after harvesting, fragrant and long-lasting, and you can smell it when you open the bottle; Or put a little honey in the palm of your hand, rub and smell it, whether the smell is normal, whether it is consistent with the name of honey, and whether there is any ambiguity.

3. Crystallization identification, fake honey is not crystallized, but the white sugar added to some fake honey will also precipitate under certain conditions and form a precipitate at the bottom of the bottle. The crystals of real honey are relatively soft, and they can be easily twisted on the fingers, giving them a delicate feeling. The white sugar precipitation precipitated by fake honey is relatively dense, and when it is twisted on the finger, it has a gritty feeling.

4. Identification of water content, honey drops on white paper, pure honey into beads, will not seep, and water-mixed honey will gradually seep out, the faster the seepage, the more water.

1.After buying honeycomb honey, you can take a cup of warm boiling water, and then add a small piece of honeycomb honey to it, and see what changes have occurred in the water in the cup after the honeycomb melts, if the water in the cup is still transparent, and there is no precipitation at the bottom, then the quality of this honeycomb honey is still good.

2. The natural honeycomb honeycomb with excellent quality does not exist in a solid state, it should be a thick liquid, and when it looks, the honeycomb is like a container for the honeycomb, and the honeycomb honey is like a thick oil, there is a feeling that it is about to flow out.

3. Honeycomb honey is a natural food with a complex structure, which can be eaten directly, but there is beeswax in the natural honeycomb, and when you take a piece and chew it in your mouth, there will be residues in the end, and these residues are natural beeswax. The beeswax is more elastic, and people have the feeling of chewing gum when they chew it. But fake honeycomb honey doesn't have these conditions.

4. Honeycomb honey will not crystallize, if honeycomb honey crystallizes, it means that this honeycomb honey is produced under a large amount of sugar and syrup feeding, and it is not natural honeycomb honey at all.

Honey is a good health product in the eyes of many people. When buying honey, how to distinguish the real from the fake?

Teach you a few tricks if you distinguish real and fake honey. Practical and effective.
