    The reason why pure honey is not sweet is that there is less sugar.

    Different honeys have different tastes and colors, and the low concentration of honey has a high water content, and the high concentration of honey has a low water content, so it is the same honey, and the higher concentration is higher than the sweetness of the lower concentration.

    Taste the honey directly and taste it directly, and the pure honey is drunk into the mouth, which is sweet and greasy, and has a long aftertaste. There is a feeling of stickiness in the high concentration. When you drink it directly on an empty stomach, you feel uncomfortable in your throat and stomach.

    1. "Sweet or not" is a degree word, and everyone's taste perception is different. Some people have a more sensitive sense of taste and will think that honey will be very sweet. Some people are more accustomed to sweetness, but they will feel that it is not so sweet.

    On the issue of whether honey is sweet or not, the subjective judgment of individuals is different, so the authenticity of honey cannot be judged because it is too sweet or not.

    2. The sweetness of honey is affected by the nectar source plant, and the nectar of some honey slow reeds will cause the brewed honey to be very sweet, for example, jujube nectar is one of the honey species with a heavier sweetness and a stronger taste. Honey made from some plant nectar has a moderate sweetness and a fresh taste, so the sweetness is felt differently when drinking different honeys.

    3. If you buy immature honey with a very short brewing period, the taste may not be sweet. Because the brewing time of immature honey is generally 2-3 days, the glucose and fructose content in honey at this time is relatively small, containing a lot of water, and the sweetness of honey will be much less than that of mature honey. When encountering this kind of honey, we must be vigilant, the immature honey in the nutrient substances is relatively small, and the nutritional value of the human body is low.

    Moreover, because it contains a lot of water, it is easy to ferment and deteriorate.
