Chapter 101 Teach You to Identify Good and Bad Honey
Honey is a top-grade diet and medicine, and it is one of the important auxiliary materials of traditional Chinese medicine. Adulteration is more common, which not only affects the quality of honey, but also endangers people's health.The identification of adulterated honey requires both empirical identification and modern technology identification.The identification of common adulteration is as follows:

1.taste
High-quality honey is fragrant and sweet, with a long aftertaste after entering the mouth, and it is best to have a spicy feeling when passing through the throat.Adulterated honey has no floral scent, and some fake honey has a sugary taste.

2.look
The honey with light color is better, which contains a lot of small white crystal particles, indicating that the glucose content is high, so it is good honey.If the honey is very thin, easy to flow, and the aroma is not very strong, it may be fake honey.

3.smell
Pure honey will have a strong and fragrant fragrance when the bottle is opened, and it will not dissolve immediately when it is dropped into water, and it can keep its original shape for a long time.

4.test
Drop the honey on the white paper, it will not diffuse into pure honey, but the adulterated product will gradually disperse, the faster the disperse, the more water is mixed.

In addition, if the honey is dripped on the wooden board for drying, baking or blowing, the real product will not dry and change color; if the red-hot iron wire is inserted into the honey, the pure honey will make the iron wire extremely smooth and free of impurities after being pulled out. At the same time, pure honey will smoke when dripped on the red-hot iron plate.
