How to distinguish real and fake honey needs to be known for those of you who have difficulty observing the difference between the two. Because, faking honey is very easy. Honey is known to have many benefits for the body and has a different sweet taste than sugar and other sweeteners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honey is produced by bees and insects from flower nectar, its form is a liquid that resembles syrup, but its form is thicker and has a sweet taste. However, to buy honey in the market or online, consumers need to be careful, because not all honey sold is genuine, there are also many fake or adulterated honey circulating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, it is quite difficult to see and distinguish real honey without a mixture and fake honey only through the packaging. As with many food commodities, adulteration is common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food.NDTV page states, adulteration of honey is very easy, this is because it can be mixed with glucose solution, high fructose corn syrup and other ingredients that consumers may not even know about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the characteristics when opening a honey bottle and hearing a small ‘pop’ sound, it indicates that the honey has been adulterated due to some fermentation process that may have occurred in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best quality honey generally comes from bees and not from factories, so before buying, it’s best to read the label on the package and look for words like ‘raw’, ‘natural’, ‘forest honey’ or ‘organic’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Difference Between Real and Fake Honey<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So how do you tell the difference between real honey and fake honey? Here are some of the differences as reported by FirstforWomen:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Pour a few drops of pure honey on the parchment paper and check if the honey is absorbed in the paper. Pure honey usually does not absorb, while fake honey is easily absorbed.<\/li>
  2. Smell Sharp smell can detect different scents in pure honey, such as flowers or different scents of grass. On the other hand, fake honey does not have a floral scent, it only emits a fragrant aroma from the sweetener.<\/li>
  3. When you spread pure honey on bread, usually the bread that is smeared will harden, while the bread that is smeared with fake honey on it will remain moist.<\/li>
  4. Pure honey usually will not dissolve immediately when mixed with water and will form a bulge in the water container containing the honey, while fake honey will dissolve more quickly in water.<\/li>
  5. When pure honey is mixed with egg yolks, the yolks will appear as if they were cooked. As for fake honey, mixing the egg yolks will have no effect on the yolks.<\/li>
  6. Light a match and place it in a container containing honey, if the honey is pure the fire will still burn, otherwise if the fire is put in a container containing fake honey, the fire will be extinguished and the honey is not flammable.<\/li>
  7. When pure honey is heated, it will look like caramel in a short time and not foam. In fake honey, it looks like foam and bubbles will form quickly.<\/li>
  8. Pure honey will not stick when rubbed between fingers. But fake honey will be sticky because of the sweeteners and additives.<\/li>
  9. The taste of pure honey will linger in your mouth for a few minutes, but if the taste left is very sweet and only briefly, it’s probably fake honey. If you really want to make sure that the honey you buy is pure honey, it’s best to go to a local honey farmer’s market and buy directly from the source.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Therefore, to buy honey in the market or online, consumers need to be careful, because not all honey sold is genuine, there are also many fake or mixed honey circulating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Indeed, it is quite difficult to see and distinguish real honey without a mixture and fake honey only through the packaging. Choose a honey brand that already has a registered BPOM number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Pure and premium honey from Madurasa, for example, already has a BPOM number and other certifications that guarantee the authenticity, cleanliness and quality of the product ingredients.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
