This kind of stuff is sold in the market and it’s hard to get one. You have to know that it’s not even as clean as gutter oil!

We all know that honey is a good health product. Eating a little bit every day can not only beautify your skin, but also moisturize the intestines and promote bowel movements. It has many benefits. However, recently a lot of cheap honey has appeared on the market, and it still tastes sweet, attracting many customers to rush to buy it. But are these honeys really good quality and cheap, or is there another reason? After asking around, Huahua found out that these cheap honeys are made through chemical synthesis and are not even as clean as “gutter oil”!

When we talk about gutter oil, we gradually feel disgusted because we know the process of obtaining it and we feel sick. However, the fake honey circulating on the market now also comes from small workshops. It is made by mixing alum, saccharin and pigments. If you buy it home and take it for a long time, your health will definitely be affected.

In fact, after talking about so many dangers of fake honey, the most important thing is to learn how to distinguish real and fake honey, so as to avoid buying fake honey in the future. Then Huahua will teach you some tips to see the difference between real and fake honey!

1. Look at the color

Looking at the color to distinguish the authenticity of honey is a relatively intuitive method. Generally, the color of real honey is not so clear. At first glance, it will feel a bit dirty, as if there are impurities in it. Fake honey, on the contrary, looks very clear and feels very clean. At this time, many people think that real honey should be clean and free of impurities. However, the fact is just the opposite.

2. Look at the bubbles

If you can't tell by color, looking at the bubbles is a good way. Generally, after real honey is shaken, a layer of white bubbles will appear on the top, but after fake honey is shaken, only a little bit of bubbles will appear on the top, and sometimes even no bubbles will appear. So remember to shake it when you buy honey in the future!

3. Check the stickiness

When you scoop real honey with a spoon, it feels more like you are scooping a layer of liquid, which is thin and will not flow out even when poured into a bowl. Because fake honey is mixed with gelatinous substances, it will feel very hard when it is poured into the bowl, and it will not break when pulled. Next time when buying honey and encounter this situation, just refuse to buy it!

4. Taste

We buy honey and eat it when we bring it home. The taste of real honey is not that sweet, and it has a little bit of astringency. However, fake honey has too much saccharin added in it, so it tastes sweet when you take a bite. This is why many people choose fake honey.

I hope you can use the above 4 tips to distinguish the authenticity of honey when choosing honey in the future, so you don’t have to worry about buying fake honey again! If there is any better and more intuitive identification method, please share it with everyone in the comment section!
