Honey is a unique natural product, but these days, it’s difficult to distinguish real honey from fakes. Fortunately, there are ways to identify this quality product, no matter where you buy it. Useful tips and methods will help you choose the best honey for your health and enjoyment.
1. Monitor Consistency and Clarity
Real honey is viscous and tends to crystallize over time. If you notice that the honey remains liquid for an extended period, it’s likely artificial. Real honey develops small waxy inclusions on the surface where it comes into contact with the container.
2. Pay Attention to Taste and Smell
Natural honey has a mild, sweet aroma, sometimes with a slight burning sensation in the throat. If you notice a burnt caramel taste, it means the honey has probably been heated.
3. Beware of Additives
