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.

3. Hot water dissolving. Put a spoonful of honey into a cup, add four to five times hot water to dissolve it, and let it stand for three to four hours if no precipitation occurs, it is pure honey and good honey.

1. Look at maturity; The process of brewing honey is not as simple as we think, and it generally takes about 7-15 days for the bees to fully brew and mature it. Mature capped honey has a high Baumé degree, a water content of less than 20%, and is rich in nutrients. And those honeys that are taken out without waiting for the honey to mature have a high water content and look relatively thin.

2. Nutrition content list; Pure honey is brewed by Little Bee, containing vitamins, active enzymes, amino acids, minerals and other more than 180 kinds of substances that the human body can directly absorb, itself has strong antibacterial properties, can inhibit the growth of bacteria, and does not need to add food additives. When you buy, you can look at the ingredient list, pure honey does not contain other substances other than honey.

3. Active enzymes; In the process of making honey, the bee will add a variety of active enzymes secreted by itself, so that the mature honey is fully brewed, which contains amylase, invertase and other enzymes that are beneficial to the human body. During the process of filling and transporting, these active enzymes will continue to move and precipitate, and you can see a fine layer of foam when you buy honey, which is caused by the movement of active enzymes.

4、 **；The brewing cycle of honey is about 7-15 days, which is a certain time cost, sometimes in order to wait for the honey to be fully brewed and matured, some flowering period will be missed, and the quality of honey can not be increased. As a result, the cost of pure honey is high, and it is naturally not too cheap on **. And the cost price of those inferior honey is low, and the ** is correspondingly lower.

It is a common way to distinguish the quality of honey by its color. In general, darker honey is rich in minerals than lighter honey. If you want to supplement trace elements, you can choose honey with a darker color, such as date nectar.

of honey, delicate in texture and bright in color; Poor quality honey is often cloudy and has a poor gloss.

Impure honey will smell like fruit candy or artificial flavors, honey mixed with spices has an abnormal fragrance, and pure honey has a natural smell with a faint floral fragrance. Fake honey smells pungent or fruity sugar.

3. Look at the thick form

In general, the thicker the honey, the better. This is because the viscosity of honey is related to its moisture content, and the national standard stipulates that the moisture content is less than 20% as a first-class product.

When picking honey in the supermarket, you can turn the bottle upside down and make it thicker and slower it trickles. Due to its viscous texture, honey has the characteristic of being constantly brushed.

4. Look at the drawing

After buying the honey home, drop a drop, the good honey is very long drawn, and the upper end will spring back quickly after the flow is broken. If it's fake honey or low-quality honey, it won't bounce back quickly.

Real honey can be provoked with visible flexible filaments, which do not flow off, and fake honey has more suspended solids and precipitation, and it falls in a drop-like shape when provoked, and there is a broken flow.

The above methods can help you distinguish the quality of honey, when buying honey, you may wish to refer to the methods introduced above, you must pay attention to the honey must be purchased through formal channels, and you must carefully observe when purchasing, because only high-quality honey can ensure health, ensure safety, inferior honey can not be taken.
