First, nutrition comparison.
Litchi honey and Sophora japonica honey have similar nutrition. In fact, the main components of all honey are glucose and fructose, and a small amount of sucrose, amino acids, vitamins and minerals. However, litchi honey contains more vitamin E and iron, while Sophora japonica honey contains unique Robinia pseudoacacia and volatile oil, so it is difficult to distinguish litchi honey from Sophora japonica honey in nutrition.
Second, color contrast
There are obvious differences in color between litchi honey and Sophora japonica honey. Among them, litchi honey is transparent amber, which is easy to crystallize, and it is milky white after crystallization, while Sophora japonica honey is transparent water white or yellowish (mixed with other impurities), and occasionally appears white granular or oily after crystallization at low temperature, so Sophora japonica honey has more advantages than litchi honey in color.
Third, taste contrast.
The taste of litchi honey and Sophora japonica honey is slightly different. Among them, litchi honey is fragrant, rich in litchi flower aroma, sweet and palatable in taste, slightly sour in litchi fruit, while Sophora japonica honey has a faint Sophora japonica aroma, sweet and fresh in taste. In fact, the taste of Sophora japonica honey is the best among all honey, so it may be slightly better than litchi honey.
Fourth, price comparison.
The price of litchi honey and Sophora japonica honey is slightly different, and the price of Sophora japonica honey is slightly better than that of litchi honey.
How to choose Sophora japonica honey
1, look at the color
Sophora japonica honey is a transparent water white, so Sophora japonica honey is also a white honey. If these Sophora honey are mixed with other pollen, this Sophora honey will turn yellow.
Step 2 look at the concentration
Sophora japonica honey is relatively thin, not as thick as possible, because Sophora japonica honey is relatively light. When you choose Sophora japonica honey, you will see that Sophora japonica honey is too thick, but it is probably concentrated Sophora japonica honey, and the quality is very poor.
Step 3 smell it
An authentic honey of Sophora japonica will have some fragrance of Sophora japonica, which is particularly natural. If you choose Sophora japonica honey, if these smells are fragrant, many of these Sophora japonica honey are mixed with Sophora japonica honey, and the quality is very poor.
Step 4 look at the crystallization
In the method of selecting Sophora japonica honey, we can also know whether Sophora japonica honey is real honey by looking at the crystallization. We can put Sophora japonica honey in the refrigerator. When the temperature drops to 10- 15, these Sophora japonica honey will crystallize slowly. If Sophora japonica honey does not crystallize under crystallization conditions, it is basically fake Sophora japonica honey.
