How can you tell if honey is good or bad?

1. Taste and smell: consumers can taste and smell when buying honey to observe whether the honey has an oily or peculiar smell, generally the honey is sweet, and has a light and floral fragrance consistent with the smell, if the aroma is too strong, it is possible to incorporate flavor, poor quality often has bitterness, astringency, sour taste and even foul smell. 2. Identification of moisture content:

The honey has a small water content and a large viscosity, and the honey is picked up with a sterilized glass rod, and the honey will be filamentous and extreme.

According to my experience, good honey will be drawn when scooped up with a spoon, and it will not be intermittent, and it will smell fragrant, and there will be an aftertaste after tasting, and there will be a faint sour after that. By the way, I've eaten "Moisturizer", and it's okay.

Add a few drops of iodine and shake well, if the solution turns blue or red or purple, it means that the honey is mixed with starchy substances. 3. Insert the red-hot wire into the honey, if the wire. Silk, the silk will automatically retract and be spherical.

Mix honey and water in a ratio of 1:5 and leave it for a day, and it is best if there is no sediment.

Among the various types of honey in the market**, especially the bulk honey sold by some vendors, some honey is adulterated. Adulteration is mainly sugar, water and starch, and some honey also contains impurities and impure texture. As long as you master a certain identification method, honey adulteration can be seen.

1. Drip the honey on the white paper, if the honey gradually seeps out, it means that there is sucrose and water. Honey mixed with sugar has poor transparency, is not clear, is cloudy, and has a poor floral aroma. The color of the honey mixed with brown sugar is dark; The honey mixed with sugar is pale in color.

2. Honey mixed with flour, starch or corn flour has a cloudy color and a taste that is not sweet enough. Put a small amount of honey into a cup, add an appropriate amount of water to boil, and after cooling, drop a few drops of rice wine and shake well, if the solution turns blue or red or purple, it means that there are starches in the honey.

3. Insert the red-hot wire into the honey, if there is sticky matter attached to the wire, it means that there are impurities in the honey. If the wire is still smooth, there are no impurities.

4. Take one point of honey, add two points of cold boiled water and four points of 95 points of alcohol, mix well and put it for a day and night, if there is no impurity precipitation, it means that the quality is pure.

5. If the honey can be pulled into a long filament with chopsticks, and the filament will automatically retract into a ball, it is the top grade.
