A few tricks to distinguish between true and false honey, learn not to suffer for a lifetime. Honey is a common ingredient in life and is rich in various nutrients. Eating regularly is good for people's health, but there are too many fake honey on the market. Here are a few tricks to distinguish between true and false honey.

Several tricks to distinguish true and false honey 1 1. the efficacy and function of honey

1, lactation period.

There is a folk saying that sweet wine can promote lactation, but in fact, earth honey can also promote lactation.

Women of childbearing age who have insufficient milk or are inconvenient to soak in wine can eat a proper amount of honey every day from the early stage of pregnancy, especially during breastfeeding. Putting a proper amount of honey in water or wine every day can effectively increase the amount of milk, ensure the baby's breast milk is sufficient, and effectively enhance the immunity of mother and baby.

2. trauma.

Folk call earth honey a hundred herbs. Especially for knife wounds, burns, scratches and abscesses, the author personally tried to directly apply a layer of earth honey to the wound to immediately stop the pain and stop bleeding (try not to scratch the skin, otherwise it will easily cause scars), and cure it several times according to the severity of the injury. This method will not only cause infection and suppuration, but also leave no scars after treatment.

3. asthma.

The author's relatives have been suffering from asthma for more than ten years. Every time the climate gets cold or a little tired, they are prone to breathing difficulties and even lack of oxygen.

1998, at the age of 60, my family raised 10 colony of soil bees, with an annual output of 200 kilograms of soil honey (gallnut honey). I eat it all by myself. I eat honey every morning and evening, and my body gradually recovers. After two years, my spirit has obviously improved. Although it can't be cured, it can work normally, and it's not easy for me to breathe in cold weather in winter.

Second, the identification method of honey

1, a bottle of water can be identified by shaking it.

Step 1: Pour honey into a plastic bottle. There doesn't seem to be much difference between the two kinds of honey.

Step 2: pour a glass of water into a plastic bottle, just ordinary tap water ~

Step 3: Shake the plastic bottle vigorously. It's time to witness the miracle ~

If it is real honey, it will foam a lot, but if it is completely dissolved in water, it is fake honey.

This is because real honey contains a lot of fructose. When it shakes violently in water, it will react to produce foam. The more foam, the thicker the honey.

2. Identification of toilet paper

There are often methods such as dripping honey on toilet paper to judge whether it is true or not, but experts say that this method can only judge the water content of honey, but can't judge whether it is true or not ~

3. True honey looks at the color with the naked eye

Light white is good in texture, light yellow or amber, and light color is better; The luster is not very bright. Fake honey is bright in color, boiled with white sugar or impersonated with syrup, so it looks very clear and bright, usually pale yellow or dark yellow.

In addition, pure honey is colorless, and the color of honey is caused by the pollen of different plants in honey. Therefore, dark honey is more nutritious than light honey, but dark honey often contains a strong smell, such as buckwheat honey; Light-colored honey generally smells fragrant, such as litchi honey and locust tree honey.

4. Identification of impurities

Red-hot iron wire can be inserted into honey. The real honey is steaming, but the fake honey is smoking. If it is pure honey, the wire will be smooth and free of impurities after it is pulled out. Stir honey with chopsticks, it can be drawn into long filaments, which flow continuously, and the broken filaments will automatically retract and be spherical. Mix honey and water at the ratio of 1: 5, and leave for one day. No precipitation is the best product.

5. Water identification

When honey drops on white paper, pure honey will not seep into beads, but honey mixed with water will gradually seep out. The faster it seeps out, the more water will be mixed.

6. Identification of heavy metals

Take a spoonful of honey and add it to half a cup of very strong cold green tea. If honey has been polluted by heavy metals, tannins in tea will react with heavy metals in honey to form gray or brown-black salts. The darker the color, the heavier the heavy metal pollution.

7, starch identification

Put a small amount of honey into a cup, add a proper amount of water to boil, drop a few drops of iodine after cooling, and shake well. If the solution turns blue or red or purple, it means that the honey is mixed with starch.

8. Identification of sugar

Honey mixed with sugar has poor transparency, unclear brightness, turbid shape and poor floral fragrance. Brown sugar mixed with honey is dark in color, while white sugar mixed with honey is light in color. You can rub it with two fingers to feel sticky, which has a granular feeling of sugar.

9. Taste recognition

Real honey is sweet and delicious, slightly sour. The crystal block is brittle in the teeth, and it melts when it is contained, while the fake honey has a bitter taste. The crystal block chews like sugar, and its voice is crisp and loud.

10, crystallization identification

Fake honey is not crystallized, but some white sugar added in fake honey will also precipitate under certain conditions, forming precipitation at the bottom of the bottle. It is easy to distinguish the crystallization of real honey from the precipitation of fake honey. Honey crystals are very soft and can be easily twisted on your fingers, giving you a delicate feeling.

The white sugar precipitated from fake honey is relatively dense, and it feels gritty when twisted on your fingers.

Several tricks to distinguish true and false honey. Method 1: Look.

The so-called look is to look at the luster and color of honey. Real honey is bright and sticky. Fake honey is very turbid. After the honey is stirred with chopsticks, the real honey is translucent and the color is more uniform, while the fake honey is turbid and contains impurities.

Method two, rub.

Honey is put in the refrigerator, stored for a period of time and then taken out. Honey will crystallize into a solid, and real honey crystals will be soft and have poor transparency. If you stick it in with a toothpick, you can see that it is obvious. Fake honey is not only hard, but also difficult to tie. Rub honey crystals in your hands, real honey won't feel sandy, and fake honey crystals will find precipitation, which is hard and difficult to crush.

Method three, smell.

The smell is the smell of honey. Real honey smells sweet. You should be able to smell a sweet smell when you open the bottle. Fake honey is either too sweet or tasteless.

Method 4: Taste.

The taste is the taste of honey. Real honey tastes like a flower fragrance, while fake honey only feels like a sweet sugar fragrance.

Several tricks to distinguish true and false honey 3 1. Look at the light and color to tell the true and false honey;

Real honey is unattractive to the naked eye. Light white texture is better, light yellow or amber, light color is better. The light is not very bright. Fake honey is beautiful, boiled with white sugar or filled with syrup, so it looks very clear and bright, as usual, it is light yellow or dark yellow.

In addition, pure honey is colorless, and the color of honey is caused by plant pollen. Therefore, dark honey is more nutritious than light honey, but dark honey often contains strong breath, such as buckwheat honey; Light-colored honey is as fragrant as ordinary honey, such as litchi honey and locust tree honey.

2, containing impurities to distinguish true and false honey:

Red-hot iron wire can be inserted into honey. The real honey is steaming, but the fake honey is smoking. If it is pure honey, the wire will be very greasy and free of impurities after it is pulled out. Stir honey with chopsticks, you can have endless raw silk, and the broken silk automatically retracts, and it is the top grade in spherical shape. Honey and water are assimilated according to the ratio of 1: 5, arranged for one day, and those without precipitation are the best.

3, moisture content to distinguish true and false honey:

When honey drops on white paper, pure honey will become beads and will not seep out, while honey mixed with water will slowly seep out. The faster seepage velocity is, the more water is mixed.

4. Identify true and false honey containing heavy metals:

Take a spoonful of honey and put it in half a cup of very strong cold green tea. If honey has been polluted by heavy metals, tannins in tea will be chemically impregnated with heavy metals in honey, which will naturally be gray or brown and dark black salts. The darker the color, the heavier the reputation is polluted by heavy metals.

5, distinguish true and false honey with starch:

Put a small amount of honey into a cup, add a proper amount of water to boil, drop a few drops of iodine after cooling, and shake well. If the solution turns blue, red or purple, it is said that honey is mixed with starch.

6, sugary to distinguish between true and false honey:

Honey mixed with sugar has poor transparency, uncleanness, turbidity and poor floral fragrance. You can rub it with two fingers to make it feel slimy, and if it is granular, it will contain sugar.

7, taste discrimination to distinguish true and false honey:

True honey is sweet and palatable, sour and light, and the crystal block is crisp between teeth, and it melts when contained, while fake honey tastes bitter, and the crystal block tastes like sugar, and the sound is crisp and crisp.

8, taste discrimination to distinguish true and false honey:

Real honey has a faint floral fragrance, while fake honey smells pungent or raw fructose.

9, crystal to distinguish true and false honey:

Fake honey is not crystallized, but some sugar in fake honey will inevitably precipitate out and form a precipitate at the bottom of the bottle. It is easy to distinguish the crystallization of real honey from the precipitation of fake honey. The crystallization of real honey is soft, which is easy to twist on fingers and has a delicate feeling.

The white sugar precipitated from fake honey is relatively dense, and it feels gritty when twisted on your fingers. In addition, the ingredients in the label list are marked with sugar, fructose syrup and other factors, which should be fake honey.
