Many of us buy honey, considering it healthy. We think that it is beneficial for health, but do you know that if the honey turns out to be fake, then instead of benefiting the body, it can also harm it... especially the liver and kidneys? In this article, let us know from nutritionist Lima Mahajan about 3 ways to detect adulteration in honey (How To Identify Fake Honey).

How is fake honey made?

Nowadays, such fake honey is also being sold in the market, in which refined sugar syrup is added. Surprisingly, this syrup made of sugar is imported from China, and its color and taste are exactly like real honey. Therefore, it becomes difficult for a common man to identify whether the honey is pure or adulterated.

How to identify adulterated honey?

You can test the purity of your honey with some easy home methods:

Plate Test:
Put honey on a plate.

Add some water to it and rotate the plate gently.

If a honeycomb-like structure is formed in it, then the honey is real.
If it dissolves directly and no pattern is formed, then understand that it is adulterated.
Water test:
Real honey does not dissolve immediately in water.
Fake honey or honey mixed with sugar dissolves quickly as soon as it is put in water.
NMR test:
The most effective scientific method to test the authenticity of honey is the NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) test. This tells whether sugar syrup has been mixed in honey or not.
Why is it important to choose pure honey?
Honey not only enhances the taste, but it is also beneficial for our health in many ways. But if it is adulterated, it can harm the body. Therefore, it is important that we check the quality of honey while buying it and choose only a trusted brand.
