1, cold water identification method
Take a spoonful of honey and add it to a transparent water bottle, then pour in cold water. The ratio of honey is 1: 3. Cover the bottle cap, shake it vigorously, and let it stand and observe. If there are a lot of bubbles on the water surface of honey in the bottle, and it will appear turbid after a long time, it can be identified as true. Fake honey will not change after strong shaking, and its liquid is still very clear.
2, hot water identification method
Real honey brewed with hot water can taste sweet and slightly sour, because natural honey contains organic acids, so it will be sour. Those syrup honey or concentrated honey will still be sweet, and the taste will not change, except for sweetness and even a little greasy.
3, bubble identification method
Without adding water to honey, directly shake the bottle containing honey a few times, and at this time, a large number of tiny bubbles are produced, which can be judged as real honey, and those that cannot produce bubbles after shaking are fake honey.
4, odor recognition method
Natural honey will smell faint floral fragrance, which is refreshing. Fake honey is made of sucrose and essence, and smells like sweet and greasy sugar, not natural flowers.
5, crystallization identification method
Except for a few honey that is not easy to crystallize, most honey will crystallize slowly below 14. Especially when the weather is cold in winter, the crystallization of honey can be seen more clearly, and the crystals produced by real honey are very delicate and soft.
