It is true.

Honey crystallizes because the temperature is too low, as honey is not suitable for the refrigerator, and putting it in the refrigerator will make it glucose crystals precipitate to form a white precipitate.

The more nuclei there are in honey, the faster it will naturally crystallize. When the ratio of glucose to fructose is 1:1, crystallization is slow. And when the ratio of glucose to fructose is 1 to 2, crystallization generally does not occur, such as when the ratio of glucose to fructose is 2 to 3.

The optimal temperature for honey crystallization is 13 to 14 degrees Celsius. When the temperature of honey is higher than 27 ℃, honey is not easy to crystallize, when the temperature of honey is higher than 40 ℃, the crystallized honey melts into liquid.

Look at this color, this color

1. Real honey is sticky and shiny. Fake honey is cloudy. Especially when stirred with chopsticks, real honey has good light transmission and even color. Fake honey is not only cloudy, but also has impurities.

Different honeys have different colors, so it's important to know what you're getting. Sophora flower nectar is light amber; acacia flower honey is also amber, but darker than acacia flower honey; flower honey is mostly yellow and red, and the color is not fixed; jujube flower honey is also darker in color. It is worth noting that date honey is less likely to crystallize than other types of honey.

2. Look for crystallization

If you have a refrigerator at home, you can also store your honey in the fridge for a while before taking it out. Honey becomes solid when left at a temperature of 4 to 14 degrees Celsius for some time. The crystals of real honey are soft, poorly transparent, and eye-catching when pinched; fake honey doesn't move, and some crystallized fake honey makes a crisp sound when you bite into it.

Rub the crystals in your hands. The crystals of real honey are fine, without the feeling of grit. Fake honey does not easily form crystals, and some fake honeys will also have sediment, which is harder than the crystals and difficult to rub.

3, odor

The real honey has a light sweet smell, open the bottle cap can be smelled, and lasts a long time. This is not the case with fake honey, which either smells unnatural or has no flavor at all.

4, taste

The real honey is sweet and moist, the sweet flavor of flowers echo in the mouth; but fake honey can not eat the flavor of flowers, but fake honey cooked with sugar can taste the flavor of sugar. Real honey, if crystallized, melts quickly after eating. On the other hand, fake honey does not melt easily. Some fake honey tastes mouthy and smelly and irritates the throat.
