1, smell the flowers
Some people say that real honey can be identified by smelling its floral fragrance, and that real honey will bring its own natural floral fragrance, while those fake honey will be very pungent because of the addition of essence. Some of them are even made of industrial raw materials, and the smell is terrible. But now people's counterfeiting technology is very clever, this method can no longer be written, and most people can't smell the difference, because they have never smelled real honey.
2. Crystallization method
True honey will crystallize below 14 degree, so it can be used to distinguish true and false honey. But now this is also limited, for example, some people directly add real honey, and this part of real honey will crystallize, so many people can't tell by this. Moreover, it is basically difficult to reach below 14 degrees in summer, so you can't use this method.
3. Turbidity identification method
Real honey contains a lot of biological enzymes, protein, minerals, pollen and so on, so honey doesn't look very transparent, and it will be a little cloudy. Fake honey looks very transparent because it doesn't have these substances. However, turbidity can also be easily made, just add some additives directly, so this method is blocked.
4. Clear water identification method
Prepare a spoonful of honey and half a bottle. No, pour the honey into the water, cover it and shake it vigorously. If it is true honey, there will be a lot of bubbles, which will last for two hours before fading. Fake honey does not produce bubbles, and even if it does, it is a small amount of bubbles, which will fade soon.
5, throat feeling identification method
The taste of real honey is sweet and slightly sour, especially after the honey is brewed with boiling water, it will be sour to drink, and people may think it is spoiled honey, but this is normal. And real honey also has a spicy throat feeling, like choking on the throat. The fake honey is blended with sugar water, and it is difficult to taste sweet or not.
