What kind of honey is real and what does authentic honey look like?

Usually the viscosity of fake honey is not as good as the real one, and the permeability is not as good as the real honey, these are known by comparison, if possible, taste it (real honey has a floral fragrance), twist it by hand (real honey is more cowardly) and it will be more visible. How to identify honey quality1To the naked eye, light white texture is good.

2.Take a clean glass, put a small amount of honey, add 5 times the warm boiling water and stir thoroughly, no sediment is preferable 3If 90% alcohol is dropped, there is no white flocculent precipitate, and there is no starch sugar.

4.The water content should be around 17-18%. Drip the honey on the absorbent paper, if it gradually seeps, it means that it is mixed with sugar water; In cold weather, it is normal for honey to have white precipitate that is glucose crystallization.

Identification of royal jelly: the liquid level is flat and there are no bubbles; The smell is slightly fragrant, and the tongue has a sour and astringent taste when entering the mouth, with a slight spicy feeling; Insert the glass rod into the inside and stir it to show a uniform quality, stagnation but not sticking, and flow but not smooth.

5 ways to distinguish real honey from fake:

1. Smell the taste, real earth honey or real honey, it is absolutely floral, even if it is very light, there is absolutely no sour, industrial smell, fishy smell, etc.; If you can't tell what kind of floral scent you have, you can use the contrast method to smell two bottles of different honey, one bottle of real honey, one bottle of processed honey or one bottle of fake honey, and the comparison can have a noticeable effect.

2. Look at the bubbles, if the honey is not processed, shake vigorously, there are bubbles, there are bubbles between the upper layer and the honey, which are relatively uniform and will last for a long time, that is because of the active enzyme; After processing, there will be only a small number of bubbles in the upper layer or no bubbles, and it is best to have uniform bubbles in the honey and float up.

3. Look at the color, real honey will not be so pure, and it will not be so translucent when it looks like. Fake honey is bright in color and very transparent, generally light yellow or dark yellow.

4. Look at the viscosity, this must be paid attention to, don't believe in what thicker honey can be drawn honey is good honey, no, not so, honey is Baumé, some merchants in order to deliberately improve the Baumé degree, intentional processing dehydration and concentration, less moisture, natural concentration will go up, drawing is very simple, real honey is semi-viscous, especially in summer, and a little thin, this is normal, generally this kind of raw honey needs to be put in the refrigerator in summer.

5. Taste the taste, the tongue is a more sensitive part of the human body, and it can be verified with the tongue when distinguishing between real and fake honey. Real honey has a strong honey taste, and it is relatively pure, the sugar composition is also relatively moderate, not too sweet, and it has a slightly sour taste and a slight prickly feeling in the aftertaste. Fake honey has more sugar, the honey taste is lighter, and it is sweet but not honey in the mouth.

Honey is the nectar or secretion of plants collected by bees, and it is fully brewed, pure honey needs to ensure that the water content is less than 20%, it is relatively viscous, and it contains a variety of components that can be absorbed by the body.

Pure honey is first more viscous and has a lower water content, generally less than 20%, but honey contains a variety of components, similar to the composition of human body fluids, and can make the body feel better after eating.

Pure honey is the nectar or secretion of plants collected by bees, which is fully brewed, and generally speaking, it has a sweet taste, the aroma is consistent with that of the nectar source plants, and some also have a medicinal aroma.

Pure honey contains a variety of nutrients, many of which are similar to the composition of human body fluids, which can be absorbed and converted into energy, and speed up metabolism to keep the body in a better state.

Honey has two different physical states at room temperature and pressure, namely liquid and crystalline (regardless of whether the honey is stored in the nest or separated from the nest). Liquid honey is a liquid that separates honey from the hive and remains transparent or translucent at all times. However, most varieties of honey gradually form a crystalline state after a period of time, especially when the temperature is low, so that honey is called crystalline honey.

Crystallization is due to the fact that the glucose contained in honey has the property of easy crystallization, so crystallized honey does not reduce its nutritional value and natural food nature, it is a purely physical phenomenon.

The color of honey ranges from watery white to dark amber, mature honey has a low water content, usually more viscous, and in terms of taste, it is generally fragrant and refreshing in light honey and mellow in taste.

It can be seen that the appearance of authentic honey is not fixed, and it is still necessary to look at the test report and check the ingredients.
