How do you know if honey is real?
Vinegar and water – Mix 1 teaspoon of honey with 2 spoons of vinegar and little water. If it foams up, the honey is not pure. Heat test – If honey is heated, it quickly caramelizes and that indicates pure honey. Impure or adulterated honey bubbles up on heating.
What is the difference between real and fake honey?
Real honey is not sticky if it is rubbed between your fingers, however fake honey is sticky due to the sweeteners added in its creation. This difference is easy to test and very noticeable. Real honey is quite thick in texture, taking time to move, whereas fake honey is very runny and quickly spills, moves and travels.
How do you know if honey is 100% pure?
Simply fill a glass of water and add a teaspoon of honey into the glass. Adulterated or impure honey will easily dissolve in water and you will see it around the glass. On the other hand, original honey will settle right at the bottom of the glass.
