1. Taste: Take a sip of honey and eat real honey in your mouth. The natural acidic substances in the honey will make the aftertaste of the honey slightly sour after you drink it. If the taste is too sweet, it may be because sugar has been added. Adding sugar to honey will increase the weight of the honey at the same volume. This is the practice of many unscrupulous businesses.

If it is real honey that crystallizes, the honey crystal should be soft and easy to melt in the mouth, not as hard as sugar.

2. Look: Look at the bubbles. If the honey is not processed and shaken vigorously, there will be bubbles. There are bubbles between the upper layer and the honey. They are relatively uniform and will last for a long time. That is because of the activity. Due to the enzyme; after processing, there will be only a small amount of bubbles or no bubbles in the upper layer. It is best if there are uniform bubbles in the honey that float upward.

3. Smell the fragrance of honey. Honey is made by bees collecting nectar from the flowers of plants and then fermenting it in the hive. Therefore, real honey will have a unique fermented floral aroma, which is not something that can be formulated with additives such as flavors.
