How to differentiate between real and fake honey ?

REAL HONEY

  • Fairly thick and takes time to move from one side of the jar to the other.
  • Tends not to be sticky if rubbed between fingers.
  • If you heat the pure honey, it caramelizes quickly and does not make foam.
  • Real honey crystallizes with time.

FAKE HONEY

  • Not dense at all. Fake honey is very light and runny.
  • It is fairly sticky because of the high percentage of added sweeteners and additives.
  • Never caramelizes and forms the foam and becomes bubbly because of the added moisture, sugars and water.
  • Fake honey does not crystallize.
