When we buy food products, we always hope that they are of decent quality.

But some manufacturers prefer to save money.

As a result, we may end up buying something completely different from what we planned. It is known that honey is very easy to counterfeit. As a result, instead of a healthy product with excellent potential, we consume a fake. Of course, sour cream is not counterfeited. However, a low-quality fermented milk product may contain additives that should not be there.

How to check the quality of sour cream and honey using iodine?

For fermented milk product

You will need to put some sour cream in a separate container. One spoon will be enough. After that, you need to drop iodine.

Just one drop will help to achieve a reaction.

If the sour cream has not changed color, then we have a good quality product. If a blue tint has appeared, then this is not the best example of sour cream.

For honey analysis

Honey can be tested in a similar way. Take a small spoon of honey from the jar and dilute it in a glass of warm water. Again add a few drops of iodine.

If the liquid turns bluish, the honey is of low quality.
