Difference between fake and real Honey

 HOW TO IDENTIFY PURE HONEY

USING A MATCHSTICK

Dip a matchbox in the honey then light it up. If it lights up, the honey is pure. If it doesn’t light up, that means it has additives like water which prevents the matchstick from lighting up. Instead of a matchstick, you can also fold a small piece of tissue, dip it in some honey (pour a little bit first into a small bowl) then light it using a lighter. If your honey is pure, then the piece of tissue will catch fire.

 

 USING A GLASS OF WATER 

Pour some water into a glass, then, pour a teaspoonful of honey into the water. Pure honey will settle at the bottom of the glass and fake honey will start to mix with the water.

USING VINEGAR

Mix a bit of honey and water then add four or five drops of vinegar. If it turns foamy, then the honey is not pure.

PUT A LITTLE AMOUNT HONEY ON YOUR THUMB

Pure honey will stay put or very slowly start to drip to the sides. Honey that’s not pure will easily spill away from the thumb. You can also use a spoon instead. Dip a spoon in your honey then hold it up. Pure honey will trickle down very slowly while fake honey will spill or trickle down very fast.
