Here's how to choose honey.
Now there is less natural honey, but more fake honey and concentrated honey, so we should pay attention to identification. Here is a simple identification method, which may not be comprehensive enough, but it should be useful.
The easiest way:
1, look at honey crystallization. Most honey will crystallize, except for a few honey varieties such as jujube honey, acacia honey and longan honey, most of them are easy to crystallize. Honey crystals are loose and easy, and they won't hit your teeth when you bite them, and honey crystals have a continuous and crisp feeling when you bite them. False honey either does not crystallize or it is false crystallization.
2. Look at the gas production of honey. There are many active enzymes and probiotics in natural honey, which will cause honey to produce gas. Honey with high concentration produces less gas.
If it is bought, it can be brewed with hot water. If honey water brewed with hot water is sour, it contains at least honey, while honey water brewed with cold water is not sour or very sour. If it is brewed with hot water, it will not be sour and there is no honey in it.
4. Taste. This depends on experience. The smell of natural honey is very natural, and it has a fluffy fragrance. The fake may have no fragrance or smell (eucalyptus honey and Qiao Mai honey also have smells), or the fragrance is so strong that it can be smelled from two meters away. Alum may also be added to fake honey. If you add it, it will taste very astringent.
In fact, in addition, we must also identify concentrated honey, fake honey and concentrated honey, which have little effect. Concentrated honey mainly depends on honey crystallization and honey gas production. Hot concentrated honey is generally difficult to crystallize (of course, anti-crystallization agents may also be added) because honey crystal nucleus is destroyed by high temperature. Concentrated honey rarely produces gas, which looks good and smells like honey, but after high temperature, active enzymes and probiotics in honey are destroyed, so it rarely produces gas.
In addition, if you are weak, anaemic and afraid of cold, it is recommended to eat jujube nectar, which is generally brown, difficult to crystallize and has a strong jujube flavor. Jujube honey has a good function of nourishing qi and blood, but it belongs to warm honey. Don't eat too fast, lest you get angry. Jujube nectar has no obvious effect on constipation, but it has curative effect on deficiency of qi and blood, physical weakness, anemia and cold hands and feet.
If there is no physical weakness, you can drink some neutral and cool honey such as earth honey and wild bazi honey. The local honey has a long brewing time, good honey enzyme value and high price. Wild bazi honey is a unique honey variety in Yunnan, which has the function of clearing away heat and toxic materials and is also a good honey variety. The above two kinds of honey crystallize easily. Except for a few natural honey such as jujube honey, longan honey and acacia honey, other honey is basically easy to crystallize.
If you are an adult woman, you can drink some motherwort honey every day. Motherwort honey has good effects of regulating menstruation, regulating endocrine, nourishing yin, promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, promoting tissue regeneration, relaxing bowels and improving immunity. Motherwort honey is generally amber, easy to crystallize and loose in crystallization.
If you usually use computers and mobile phones more, or are engaged in special industries and suffer more radiation, it is recommended to drink rhodiola honey every day. Rhodiola honey has good anti-radiation, anti-hypoxia, promoting blood circulation and improving immunity. Rhodiola honey is easy to crystallize, and its crystals are dense and slightly bitter.
Honey, make a good choice. I hope it works for you.
