How to verify the authenticity of honey
First of all, look at the price: eating a few yuan and ten yuan of honey on Taobao is basically fake, and it is usually made of sugar water blended with alum or industrial glue and sweetener. Generally, the price of honey ranges from 30 to several hundred yuan, 500g g. But it doesn't mean that the high price must be real honey. If you buy honey on Taobao, please be sure to read bad reviews and comments, as well as additional comments. In addition, it is best not to buy honey from Shandong, because the honey business in Shandong is very serious. If you don't believe me, you can Baidu it.

Smell: Real honey usually has the fragrance of flowers or herbs, and the taste is very natural. If you want to smell it again after smelling it, it is usually true. Fake honey generally has the taste of industrial plastics and essence, which is very disgusting. When I first smelled it, I felt suffocated. I don't want to smell it anymore. It's usually fake.

Look at the color: Generally, honey contains a lot of complex ingredients. If you buy a bottle of honey that is very clear without impurities or very transparent, remember that you may buy sugar water. As you can see, it may be fake. Generally, honey is turbid, and there will be some impurities, because the composition of honey is very complicated.

Pour honey: Generally, honey is sticky. When the bottle is upside down, the air seems to rise "laboriously", which is usually true.

Look at the picture: scoop a spoonful with a spoon and pour it slowly. If it can be continuously threaded, it means it is true.

Status: Honey will crystallize slowly when the temperature is lower than 10 degrees. Friends will crystallize if they buy it in winter. If it doesn't crystallize, you can put it in the fresh-keeping layer of the refrigerator at a temperature of about 0 degrees for a few days to see if the bottom of the bottle will crystallize. If it is, it is true. Fake honey must remember that it can't crystallize all year round.

Chemical test method: after burning red with iron wire, put it in honey, or dip it in honey and put it on the fire. If there is a paste, it means that honey contains things like sugar or starch, which is generally fake and 100% fake. Real honey smells like flowers after burning and will not be burnt.
