How to tell Original from fake honey

You always need to be careful which food items you buy because they go right into your body and directly affect your health. Likewise, it’s essential to know how to tell authentic and fake honey apart. So, in this section, Cyruscrafts gives you a few golden tips on how to recognize this product:

1. Smell the honey.

   You should be able to smell the scent of the flower from the honey. Fake honey doesn’t smell like any particular flower or plant.

2. Check if the honey sinks in water.

   Natural honey sinks to the bottom of a glass of water without dissolving, whereas Its fake type dissolves quickly before it can sink to the bottom.

3. Heat the honey

   When you heat real honey, no bubbles form on its surface, but they do on fake honey because it contains water.

3. Check the honey’s viscosity

   Due to its high viscosity (thickness and stickiness of liquids), real honey moves slowly from one side of a container to the other, while its fake type moves fast. Fake honey is almost runny because it contains a high amount of sweeteners and other additives — and it can’t be made thicker because then it would crystalize pretty fast.

5. See how long the taste stays

   The taste of Pure honey stays in your mouth for a short time after eating, but fake honey leaves its taste for a much longer time because it contains sweeteners.

6. Check the honey's transparency

   You can easily see things through fake honey in a glass jar, which would be impossible if it was real.
