HONEY- HONEY EVERYWHERE NOT A SINGLE DROP TO DRINK -THE ‘REAL’ DILEMMA!
We understand the sense of betrayal and frustration one feels when they are duped by fake products. And let’s be honest, the honey market is one lucrative field for these fake sellers. Now, there are several tests one could perform easily to make sure what they get is cent per cent pure and authentic.
Let’s begin with the easiest and most common methods to check whether your honey is fake or real.
Difference in taste and texture-Real white honey is instilled with mild sweetness and distinct floral taste. It comes with a rich creamy texture ranging between crimson and amber hues. Real honey is thick and viscous. Real raw honey gives a tingly strong feeling in the throat when consumed.
Organic structure of white honey makes it susceptible to temperature change. So if it gets solidified in chilly weather there is nothing to worry about. Just keep the bottle in front of any warm source and it gets reverted to its room temperature consistency.
Thumb test– Real white honey would stick and not spill like other liquids in the common thumb test.
Water test- Water test is one of the great ways to check for consistency. Fake would dissolve while real would settle down.
Structure test- Honey retains genetic memory. All you have to do is take half a spoon honey in a saucer and add a bit of water from the side. Rotate the saucer slightly and you will notice the formation of honeycomb structure. If the structure is not clear or not there at all, know that it is adulterated.
Apart from these four, there are other methods like Vinegar and flame tests that help in identifying the authenticity of honey.
Aswah takes pride in bringing the purest unadulterated white honey. We believe it is important to make our customers aware so they could make informed decisions without getting cheated.
