How to Tell Real Honey from Fake: Easy Tests for Purity (Page 3 ) | August 15, 2024

Water Test

• Fill a glass with water.
• Spoon some honey into the glass.
• Observe the honey’s reaction:
  • Artificial or tampered honey will dissolve quickly.
  • Pure honey will sink to the bottom and then slowly stir.

Flame Test

This test helps determine the complete purity of honey.

• Light a match.
• Place the match on top of the honey.
• Observe the match flame:
  • If the flame immediately extinguishes, the honey is likely fake.
  • Moisture, a common impurity, is often found in adulterated honey.

Vinegar Test

• Mix honey, water, and a small amount of vinegar.
• Observe the solution:
  • If it froths, the honey is adulterated.
