gaze intently (at)
Look at the color: true honey is transparent or translucent. True honey contains some ingredients such as protein, biological enzymes, minerals and pollen, so it looks not very clear, and it is white, light yellow or amber, and light color is preferred. Fake honey is bright in color, usually light yellow or dark yellow, because it is boiled with white sugar or impersonated with syrup. Look at the shape: true honey is a viscous liquid, which stirs up visible flexible filaments and keeps flowing. False honey has suspended matter or precipitation, and its viscosity is small. When it is stirred up, it falls in drops and is cut off. After exposure, real honey becomes thinner, while fake honey remains unchanged or thicker. If honey is extremely thin and easy to flow, it may be mixed with water; Look at the label: There are some ingredients in the ingredient list of honey products, such as sucrose, white sugar and fructose syrup, but pure honey products are not allowed to add these substances.
Second, smell carefully
Real honey smells pure and natural, with a faint floral smell of plants, while fake honey smells pungent or fruity.
Third,
Taste it yourself
True honey is sweet and delicious, with a sticky mouth feeling, a slight sour taste and a long aftertaste. When you taste the crystal block, your teeth will be crisp and it will melt immediately. When the fake honey is carefully tasted, it has a bitter taste or a strange smell of chemicals, and it has no aromatic fragrance. The crystal blocks are chewed like sugar, and the sound is crisp and loud.
Fourth, hot water dissolution
Put a spoonful of honey into a cup, add four to five times of hot water to dissolve it, and let it stand for three to four hours. If there is no precipitation, it will be pure honey and good honey.
In addition, honey mixed with water or other impurities sold in the market can be identified by the following methods: to distinguish honey mixed with water and sucrose: drop honey on white paper or toilet paper, if the honey on the paper gradually seeps out, it means that sucrose and water are mixed; The difference between honey mixed with starch: put a small amount of honey into a cup, add a proper amount of water, boil it, and drop a few drops of iodine after cooling. If the solution turns blue, it means that starch is mixed; Distinguish the honey mixed with impurities: insert the red-hot iron wire into the honey. If there is a sticky substance on the iron wire, it means it is mixed with impurities; If the wire is still smooth, there is no impurity.
The method of identifying royal jelly: the liquid level is flat, there is no air gap, the smell is slightly fragrant, the tongue tastes sour and slightly spicy at the entrance, and the glass rod is inserted into the interior to stir evenly, but it is stagnant but not sticky, and the flow is not smooth. At the same time, the quality of Wanli reminds consumers to pay attention to the correct method of drinking honey. Don't use hot water to drink, but use warm water to drink.
I wish you happiness and wealth!
