How to distinguish whether honey is pure and natural ??

One: smell single nectar has the unique floral fragrance of this plant, mixed honey has a natural floral flavor, fake honey has a sucrose flavor, and some are spice flavors.

Two: Eyesight. 1.

To see the concentration of the honey, take a chopstick and insert it into the honey and lift it vertically. The honey with high concentration flows slowly, the viscosity is large, and it can be drawn and shrunk into honey balls after breaking. Fake honey or honey with low concentration, on the other hand, even if the filament can be elongated, the broken filament is not elastic and will not shrink into honey beads.

2.A drop of honey can be taken and dropped on the newspaper, pure honey with high concentration is hemispherical and not easy to soak through the newspaper, and low concentration or fake honey is easy to soak through the newspaper.

3.Take a glass of water and add a little honey. Real honey will sink quickly to the bottom of the cup and will not melt easily, and when you stir it slowly with chopsticks, there will be a slight phenomenon. If it is fake honey, it will quickly dissolve into the water.

4.Looking at the crystallization, the crystallization of honey is related to the type and temperature of its plants, and generally pure natural honey is easy to crystallize at 13-14 degrees Celsius. Honey that can be fully crystallized generally has low moisture content, high concentration, and is not easy to deteriorate, so it is high-quality honey.

The crystalline pure honey is twisted by hand, and the feel is delicate and there is no grit feeling. Fake honey, not easy to crystallize, or precipitate partially, the sediment is hard, not easy to crush.

Three: taste Pure natural honey, sweet taste, slightly sour, soft and delicate taste, refreshing and soft, slightly spicy throat, fragrant aftertaste for a long time. The adulterated honey has a sweet taste, but it is mixed with sugar or spice flavors, and the throat is weak, and the aftertaste is light and short.

Four: chemical test The color of honey mixed with starch will turn blue when added to iodine solution, and the honey mixed with starch syrup will appear white flocculent after adding high concentration ethanol, and the honey mixed with other impurities will be inserted into the honey with a red-hot wire, and there will be sticky matter attached to the wire.

Refrigerated crystallization test: Honey becomes solid after being stored at 4 to 14 degrees Celsius for a period of time, which is a physical phenomenon of honey. The crystals of real honey are pricked with chopsticks, which is very soft, and fake honey cannot be pierced.

Real honey is pinched by hand, and its crystals dissolve quickly, while fake honey has the feeling of being awkward, and it dissolves slowly or does not dissolve. Real honey crystals bite with teeth with a low sound, while fake honey crystals are crisp and loud. After pouring out the honey and waiting for it to solidify slightly, if it is genuine, the honey will form a hexagonal structure like a honeycomb, but the fake one does not.

In short, to identify the authenticity of honey, there may be some errors in a single method, you can apply multiple methods to identify a honey at the same time, and under normal circumstances, you can determine the authenticity of honey.

The color is light, the drawing is long but it should be natural, because some may have edible glue added to it.
