Pure sophora nectar will crystallize. Identification method:
1. Real honey crystals are relatively soft and can be easily twisted on your fingers, giving it a delicate feel. The white sugar precipitated from fake honey is relatively dense and has a gritty feel when you twist it on your fingers.
2. Drop honey on white paper. Pure honey will form beads and will not seep out, while honey mixed with water will seep out gradually. The faster it seeps out, the more water is added.
3. Real honey is sweet and delicious, with a slightly sour taste. The crystallized pieces are crispy when put into the teeth and melt when held in the teeth. However, fake honey has a bitter taste, and the crystallized pieces are chewed like sugar and have a crisp and loud sound.
4. Real honey smells pure and natural, with a light floral aroma, while fake honey smells pungent.
Precautions when drinking honey:
Do not brew honey with boiling water. Honey contains active enzymes. If the water temperature exceeds 60 degrees Celsius, the active enzymes will lose their activity and many nutrients will lose their effect.
Honey cannot be eaten with leeks or tofu. Leeks contain a lot of vitamin C. The metal ions in honey will oxidize vitamin C and lose its effect. At the same time, since honey has the effect of moisturizing the intestines and leeks have the effect of cellulose and catharsis, eating the two together will cause diarrhea.
