Now there are all kinds of honey in the market. The price is different. The cheap one is several yuan a Jin, and the expensive one is as high as 300-400 yuan a Jin. So how much is the price of wild honey? To judge the price of honey, first of all, we need to confirm the value of honey. The nutritional value of wild pure honey is several times that of ordinary honey affected by environmental factors. Today's four seas network editor will teach you how to identify the authenticity of wild honey.
First, smell
Single flower honey has the unique flower flavor of the plant, and the mixed honey has the natural flower flavor, while the fake honey has some sucrose flavor and some spice flavor.
Two, eye view
1. Look at the concentration of honey. Take a chopstick and insert it into the honey. Lift it vertically. The honey with high concentration flows slowly. It's sticky and can be drawn. It can shrink into honey ball after being broken. The false honey or honey with low concentration will not shrink into honey ball even if it can stretch.
2. A drop of honey can be dropped on the newspaper. The pure honey with high concentration is hemispherical, which is not easy to saturate the newspaper. The low concentration or fake honey is easy to saturate the newspaper.
3. Take a cup of water and add a little honey. The real honey will sink into the bottom of the cup quickly, which is not easy to melt. When you stir it slowly with chopsticks, there will be a continuous phenomenon. If it is fake honey, it will dissolve into the water soon.
4. In terms of crystallization, the crystallization of honey is related to the type and temperature of plants. Generally, pure natural honey is easy to crystallize at 13-14 ℃, and honey that can be fully crystallized generally has low water content, high concentration and is not easy to deteriorate, so it is a high-quality honey. The pure honey of crystal is twisted by hand. It feels fine and has no sense of sand. The fake honey is not easy to crystallize or precipitate part of it. The precipitate is hard and not easy to rub.
Three. Taste
The pure natural honey has a sweet and slightly sour taste, soft and delicate taste, soft and refreshing taste, spicy throat feeling, long aftertaste. The adulterated honey is sweet, but mixed with sugar or spice taste, weak throat feeling, and short aftertaste.
Some friends will worry that there may be some errors when using one method to identify the true or false honey. We suggest that you can use multiple methods to identify one honey at the same time.
