How to identify real and fake date flower honey

1. To test whether the honey is mixed with water, insert a chopstick vertically into the honey to be tested, then lift it up and observe the shape of the drops on the raw edge paper. If it is real honey, the honey on the rough paper will be a bead. If it is honey mixed with water, the honey dripping from it will spread around.

2. To test whether the honey contains white sugar, take a little bit and rub it in your hands. If it is real honey, it will melt quickly, but honey containing white sugar will not melt quickly.

3. Taste. The taste of pure honey stays in the mouth longer, while the sweetness of fake honey disappears quickly and even leaves a bitter taste.

4. Check whether it is adulterated with maltose. Take one part of honey, add four parts of water, and gradually add alcohol into it. If white floc appears, it means it is mixed with caramel.

5. Check whether there are other impurities. Insert the red-hot wire into the honey and take it out to observe. If the wire is smooth, it means the honey does not contain impurities. If the wire is uneven, it means the honey is impure and contains impurities.

6. Look at the colors. Real honey is light yellow in color and transparent. Those mixed with brown sugar will be darker in color, while those mixed with white sugar will be lighter in color.
