Natural honey costs a lot of money, so it is a fertile area for fraudulent sellers.
It is easier to make a fake than to make a really high-quality and tasty product that will bring benefits and sweeten pancakes or other dishes.
There are many ways to get a counterfeit. You can mix in flour, sugar or even chalk. This way there is more "honey", and cunning sellers increase their revenue.
But there are ways that will help you immediately determine that a product contains impurities.
To check the quality of honey, you need to dip a chemical pencil in honey and draw a line on paper.
If the line is blue, the product is counterfeit.
You can detect flour, starch, chalk in the composition using water. You need to put a spoon of honey in a glass of water and look at the bottom of the dish.
If a powdery sediment appears, then you have a low-quality product in front of you.
Iodine also helps to check honey. One drop of the drugstore product is enough. If the product turns blue, it is a fake.
Earlier we told you where it is better to store tomatoes. The refrigerator is not the best place for the vegetable.
