If you want to supplement the trace elements, you can choose the appropriate dark-colored honey, such as jujube honey. Good quality honey has a fine texture and a bright color; poor quality honey is usually cloudy and has a poor luster. True honey color does not look very bright, white, yellowish or amber, to light color is better; false honey color is bright, generally light yellow or dark yellow.

2, smell: impure honey will smell of fructose or artificial flavors, mixed with spices of the honey has an unusual flavor, pure honey smell natural, there is a faint floral aroma. Fake honey smells pungent odor or fructose flavor.

3, look at the consistency: generally speaking, the thicker the honey, the better. This is because the consistency of honey and its moisture content, the national standard for water less than 20% for the first grade. When choosing honey in the supermarket, you can turn the bottle upside down, the slower it flows, the thicker it is. Because of the sticky texture, honey has the characteristic of pulling the wire constantly.

If it's fake honey or poor quality honey, it won't bounce back quickly.
