A look: Ordinary consumers should carefully check the outer packaging when buying, and try to buy first-class products.

Second pour: because of the low water content, high-quality honey is very sticky. If the sealed bottle is turned upside down, it is obviously "laborious" for the sealed air at the mouth of the bottle to float.

Three pulls: stir some honey with a toothpick and pull it out. Good honey can often pull out thin and transparent "golden thread", and some can even be as long as 1 foot.

Four iron: When the naked eye can't distinguish, consumers can take a red-hot iron wire to check. If it is good honey, you can see the smoke coming out after plugging in the wire, but you can also smell the fragrance of fruits and flowers. If mixed with sugar, it will smell burnt.

Mok Ng: If you buy ivory or yellowish "crystal honey", just pick it out and rub it gently on the back of your hand for a while, and the particles slightly thinner than edible salt will dissolve. This method can also be used to "test" royal jelly.

Six flavors: after high-quality honey is washed into warm water, it will become a flocculent milky white liquid. If you taste undiluted honey directly, you may even feel "tired" in your throat when swallowing it.

Seven products: Generally, fake honey is made of white sugar. In order to prevent the precipitation of sugar, some alum will be added during the production process and put on the tongue with chopsticks. Sweetness is over. If you can taste astringency, it is a fake. Try not to eat.

Odor recognition

When the smell of honey is identified by senses, the package can be opened at room temperature to smell its smell. If necessary, heat the sample in a water bath for 5 minutes, and then smell it.

High-quality honey-has the pure fragrance and floral fragrance of various honey-source plants. There is no other odor.

Sub-quality honey-light fragrance.

Inferior honey-the aroma is very thin or no aroma, and there are bad smells such as alcohol and wine.

Sugar identification

Fake honey is made of sucrose (white sugar or brown sugar) and alkaline water, and contains little or no honey. Its quality feature is that it has no natural honey fragrance, but a boiling syrup taste, no moist taste, and a white sugar water taste.

In order to further confirm the fake honey, a thick red-hot iron wire can be inserted into the honey. It's really steaming, but it's fake. Fluoroscopy can also be used. Mix 1 serving of suspected honey with 2.5 parts of water evenly, coat a 2 ~ 3mm thick layer on an opaque glass slide, or put it in a fluorescent-impermeable test tube and observe the fluorescence in a dark room. Generally, in natural honey, the color is yellow and slightly green, which is high-quality honey. If the color is grass green and blue green, it is inferior honey. If the color is gray, it is fake honey made of sucrose.
