Methods of identifying real honey: look at the appearance, smell, watch the texture.
1, look at the appearance: the real honey color is generally light yellow or yellowish, translucent or slightly cloudy state; if the honey color is too dark, or with impurities, is likely to be processed or adulterated.
2, smell: the real honey smell unique and fragrant, no irritating pungent taste; if you smell a stronger taste, pungent odor, is likely to be mixed with artificial additives such as flavorings.
3, watch the texture: real honey will form some longitudinal stripes on the surface, this is due to the honey crystals in the honey precipitation and the formation of these stripes show an irregular distribution; if you find that the surface of the honey does not have a texture, it may be heated or frozen treatment.
Introduction to Natural Hair Honey
Natural honeys are made by bees collecting nectar from flowers. They come from plants within the flower nectar gland or outside the nectar gland, usually what we call honey is natural honey, and because of the origin of different nectar plants, and is divided into a certain plant flowering as the main body of a variety of single-flower honey, such as orange blossom honey, linden honey, lychee honey, acacia honey, purple yunnying honey, rape honey, jujube honey, wild cinnamon honey, longan honey, wild chrysanthemum honey, wolfsbane honey, and so on.
While bees only collect nectar from one plant in a certain period of time, most honey often contains pollen or nectar from several types of plants, for example: the end of lychee flowers in the south followed by longan flowers, rape flowers followed by the end of the flowering of zi yunying, so the longan honey must contain lychee honey, zi yunying honey must be a small amount of rape honey at the early stage of the flow of honey ingredients.
