1. Look carefully.

Look at the color: Real honey is transparent or translucent in color. Because real honey contains some proteins, biological enzymes, minerals and pollen, it does not look very bright, white, pale yellow or amber, and light color is preferred.

Because fake honey is boiled with white sugar or passed off with syrup, it has a bright color, generally light yellow or dark yellow;

Look at the shape: real honey is a viscous liquid, provoked by visible flexible filaments, and constantly flowing. Fake honey has suspended solids or precipitation, small viscosity, droplets when provoked, and there is a broken flow.

Real honey becomes thinner after exposure, while fake honey has no change or is more viscous. If the honey is very thin and flows easily, it may be mixed with water;
