5 Easy Ways to Test Honey at Home — No.3 Even Surprised Beekeepers!

2. Try a cup of water

Fill a clear cup with water and place a spoonful of honey in the center without stirring.

Real honey: It sinks to the bottom and holds its shape.

Fake honey: It dissolves before reaching the bottom, indicating that it contains additives.

3. Crystallization Test

Pure honey tends to crystallize naturally, especially in cold climates or when the temperature drops below 14°C.

Real honey: thickens and forms small granules, without losing its properties.

Fake honey: remains liquid year-round, which may indicate heat treatment or mixing with sugars.

4. Napkin Test

Place a few drops of honey on a clean piece of napkin.

Real honey: It stays on the surface without spreading or moistening the paper.

Fake honey: It leaves a moist haze due to the presence of water or syrup.

5. Aroma, Flavor, and Texture

Aroma: Pure honey has a deep, floral scent.

Taste: It can be sweet with slight bitter notes.

Texture: Dense and slightly sticky, leaving a warm sensation in the throat.

Fake honey is usually excessively sweet, lacking aromatic nuances, and dissolves quickly in the mouth.
