Honey does not need to be stored in the refrigerator.

Honey does not need to be kept in the refrigerator, it is fine to keep it in a room temperature environment. Honey contains acids and a high concentration of sugar, which will not spoil when stored at room temperature.

If you want to put the honey in the refrigerator to chill is also possible, honey in the refrigerator after chilling, will accelerate the honey crystallization, may affect the taste, but this normal phenomenon, does not affect the consumption.

When storing honey, pay attention to the seal, you need to put the honey in a cool, light, dry environment, if you put the honey in the refrigerator cold must pay attention to tighten the lid, because the refrigerator in the humidity is relatively large, if the honey is not sealed, inhalation of moisture, may lead to deterioration. Honey should also be stored in a way that prevents odor, and moisture, fermentation, and contamination.

Real honey identification methods:

1, cool water identification method

Prepare a glass bottle or bottle of mineral water, take a spoonful of honey to add to the bottle, and then poured into the 1/3 tap water or cool water, cover the lid of the bottle and vigorously shake the bottle for a while, and then stand still to observe.

If the top layer of honey water in the bottle appears to be a lot of foam, and the foam does not subside for a long time, and when you open the cap there is a gas rush, you can be identified as real honey. If there is none of the above phenomenon is fake honey, fake honey after strong shaking the liquid will be very clear, while the real honey will become cloudy. The amount of foam is related to the ratio of honey to water, the more honey you add the more foam you get.

2, hot water identification method

With 40 to 60 degrees of hot water diluted, the real honey will produce a sour flavor, the taste is sweet mixed with slightly sour. The taste of fake honey does not have any change, always only a sweet flavor, in addition to sweet or sweet.

3, crystallization identification method

In addition to a small portion of the honey is not easy to crystallize, most of the honey will be in the temperature below 14 degrees slowly start to crystallize. In the winter when the weather is cold, honey is placed indoors to see the phenomenon of crystallization, in the summer we can put the honey into the refrigerator to observe whether there is crystallization, can crystallize can be sure is real honey.

The crystallization of real honey is soft, delicate, and even, and it is easy to melt with a pinch of sand. Some fake honey will also appear similar to crystallization, in fact, this is the precipitate is not crystallization, with the hand pinch sand feeling will be choking hand not melt.
