In terms of nutritional value, There is no difference between the two types of linden honey, but purple linden honey is relatively more popular among people.

How to identify the authenticity of linden honey:
1. Look at its color carefully
Linden honey is a light yellow and transparent liquid. What we can often see is a light amber color, which is more oily and shiny, but fake linden honey is a thick milky white liquid.
2. Smell
When we buy honey, if conditions permit, we can also open the lid and smell it. Real honey has a light floral fragrance and the smell of honey. It is also relatively pure and natural. Real honey is rich in protein, minerals, pollen and other ingredients. It can better preserve the original smell of honey.
As soon as you open the fake honey and smell it, you will smell a rather pungent smell or a fruity aroma. That is because these honeys are adulterated with a large amount of syrup or sugar. It's fructose, and the taste of honey brewed from non-pure pollen is quite different. Therefore, for people who often drink honey, it is easier to distinguish.
