2, pinch crystallization: honey can crystallize at low temperature; Inferior honey is mixed with impurities, such as dead bees, larvae, wax shavings and other impurities. If there is crystalline or semi-crystalline honey, take a little precipitate and rub it by hand, which will become a viscous liquid state, indicating that glucose crystals are real honey; The fake honey sediment mixed with white sugar is so hard that chopsticks can't be inserted and won't melt when twisted by hand.

Extended data:
Honey has the characteristics of taste absorption, moisture absorption and fermentation. If it is not properly preserved, it is easy to deteriorate. Therefore, the following items should be noted during storage:
1. Store according to different honey sources. Because different honey has different color, fragrance and taste, the quality of its original honey can be maintained by separate storage.
Second, keep honey clean.
Third, prevent moisture absorption, fermentation and odor: honey is best packaged in sealed porcelain bottles or glass bottles and placed in a dry, dark and ventilated room. The optimum storage temperature is 5℃ ~ 10℃.
Fourth, prevent honey from crystallizing.
