honey - good to know

how you can detect fake honey:
  • When refrigerated, honey ought to crystalize as a part of a natural process. If this does not happen, the honey is usually altered.
  • Pay attention to labels- everything that states glucose or fructose, do not purchase it.
  • To test your honey you can put a couple of drops of iodine to a glass of water and add honey afterwards. If the honey turns blue, it has a great content of corn starch.
  • Mix water, honey and a few drops of vinegar. If the mixture begins to form foam, the honey has been altered with plaster.
  • To learn if your honey is processed, try to burn it with a match. If it lights up, the honey is nothing but pure.
  • Take a glass of water and put a spoonful of honey in it. If your honey is pure, it should not dissolve. Processed brands and types of honey usually blend with the water which makes them processed.
