The color of pure honey is light yellow or amber. Honey in the south is generally light yellow or amber Quito, with a darker color. Honey in the north is light, a little pale white.

Smell

Pure honey has a faint floral fragrance, while fake honey smells only that kind of essence.

Step 3 taste

Pure honey has a spicy throat feeling (spicy, not as spicy as pepper), a bit like choking. Generally, fake honey has a single taste except sweetness. Real honey is a little spicy and slightly sour. Some varieties of honey are slightly bitter, such as the honey of Jiulong Teng, which is bitter first and then sweet.

4. Cold water identification

Pure honey is poured into a mineral water bottle filled with water and shaken vigorously, and a layer of foam will appear on the honey water. This foam will last for a long time, and it will still exist for more than 20 minutes. False honey will also have foam, but it will soon dissipate, and then the water will become very clear, while the water of real honey will be turbid.

5. Grinding particles

In the case of crystallization, real honey will melt when it is gently rubbed on the hand. Fake honey, on the other hand, is grainy and cannot be melted.

6. Hot line test method

Take a red-hot wire and put it in honey. The smoke it emits has a strong floral fragrance. If it is fake honey, such as syrup, put red-hot iron wire in it, and the smoke emitted is burnt, sticky and smelly.
