It is known that honey is a product that is often counterfeited by unscrupulous sellers.
Sometimes it is extremely difficult to distinguish honey from a fake.
The task is especially complicated by the fact that harmful additives can be introduced into a natural product.
What verification methods should you pay attention to?
Ask for some honey to try.
You don't even have to use it, just try to drip a little of the product onto your hand. If the honey is natural, you'll have a whole drop left.
But a fake will spread.
Fire and paper test
This method is intended for home testing, but it will help you identify an unscrupulous seller in case of bad results.
Take a sheet of paper and apply a small amount of honey to it. Then set it on fire from the back. The fake will easily catch fire.
Assess how the product is candied
This is a very simple and accurate sign that will help you easily find natural honey. If it is a fake, then the top part of the contents of the jar will start to crystallize.
But with a natural product, the process occurs from the bottom up.
