Why is honey a little astringent, and how can honey be bitter and astringent?

It's normal to smell weird. The purity of the farmer's soil honey is high, and the knowledge has not been filtered and sterilized, and the wings, bee body and some excrement of various honeys will remain, so it tastes strange. As for how to distinguish the real from the fake. Tell you 4 ways to identify.

1. [Mixed with maltose] take honey and put it in a glass, add four times the water, mix well, add medical alcohol drop by drop, fake honey has white flocculents, real honey is turbid, no flocculents.

2. [Mixed with sucrose] Put the honey in the refrigerator and crystallize after 24 hours. The real honey is pinched by hand, and its crystals dissolve quickly. Fake honey dissolves slowly or does not dissolve, real honey crystals are fine and soft, chopsticks can be inserted, fake honey is hard, chopsticks can not be inserted.

3. [Mixed with starch] Dissolve and dilute the honey with an appropriate amount of water, drop 2 drops of iodine solution, and there is a blue reaction, that is, it contains starch.

4. [Mixed with flavor] Take the honey and put it in the palm of your hand, rub it repeatedly for 30 seconds, and smell the smell. The flavored honey is syrupy, and the real honey has a light floral aroma.

5. Under normal circumstances, you can take some and put them on the glass, that is, apply a layer on the surface of the glass, and then dry it in the sun, or dry it with a hair dryer.

Honey is not astringent, and many people like to drink it. There are alkaloids in honey, and if you taste it carefully, it has a little bit of a prickly feeling, and many people can't taste it, maybe your taste is particularly sensitive.

Congratulations, you have a sensitive tongue, and most people can't feel the alkaloids in honey, after all, it's only a little bit.

You can try acacia honey, pure acacia honey (no other miscellaneous nectar) is pollen-free and has a sweet taste

The taste of honey is mostly sweet, honey contains a large amount of fructose glucose, which is the main sweetness**, in addition, because honey is derived from plant nectar and secretions, which makes honey also contain a lot of natural aromatic substances, but also adds a sweet smell to it. Of course, there are also some special circumstances, such as the smell of herbs in some herbal nectar source plants may also enter the honey, such as gallic honey, etc., the color is deep and turbid with a slight bitter taste, which is very normal.

The honey you buy should be blended honey

It must be abnormal, choose carefully, honey should be fake. Find a dealer to return it!

The shelf life of the real pure honey is infinitely long, and the taste is floral and smooth, not the first floor said that there is an expired deterioration, the astringent honey is not honey at all or only a small part is honey, and the supermarket sells ten yuan to more than twenty yuan is not pure just honey, most of which are added with honey or sugar, and it is astringent to eat in the mouth:

The taste of honey will be different due to different varieties, but the astringent and thick feeling you said is either fake honey or expired honey.

Is it that I have taken any drugs that affect my taste buds?

There are two kinds of honey, one is the honey produced by the bee, which is commonly known as "soil honey"; One is honey from Italian bees (honey produced by bees introduced from Italy). There is generally only one kind of soil honey, and that is potpourri honey. However, the honey produced by Italian bees can be a single nectar, because Italian bees like large sources of nectar.

The taste of honey has a lot to do with the nectar source plants, and the honey you said has a smell, which is the problem of the nectar source, perhaps the smell of flowers in the nectar source. If the honey is spoiled, it should be fermented with a wine flavor. Hope it works for you.

Native honey is not as sweet as honey, but native honey is more nutritious.
