How to tell if pure honey or fake honey​

Recognize pure and real honey from mixed fake honey

Today we find more and more adulterated honeys which are in reality blends of honey and glucose or poor quality syrups or even indescribable mixtures.
Here are some simple ways to determine the quality of the honey being sold to you.

TEST NUMBER 1:
Take a teaspoon of honey that you dip in a glass of water, if the honey dissolves it means it is of poor quality, good honey remains compact even in a glass of water unless you stir it or the water is hot.

TEST NUMBER 2:
Take a teaspoon of honey, bring it close to the fire, if the honey ignites and burns easily, it is a good quality honey, if on the other hand, it takes time to ignite or does not burn. It doesn't ignite at all, it's poor quality honey.

TEST NUMBER 3:
Take about 2 handfuls of sand from the ground, put a quantity of drops of honey on the pile, if the drops of honey do not enter easily into the pile of sand then it is good honey, however immediately put on the pile of sand the drops sink so it is bad honey.

TEST NUMBER 4:
Dip a matchstick in the honey for 5 minutes, remove the matchstick and rub it against the matchbox rub. If it lights, it's good quality, but if it has trouble catching fire then it's poor quality honey.

TEST NUMBER 5:
Take a piece of stale or hard bread and dip it in honey. If after 8 to 10 minutes, the bread is still hard, you have pure honey, if the bread is soft, it is honey cut with another substance or water.

I hope that these little tips will help you no longer be deceived when purchasing your honey.
