Is Your Honey Pure? Let's Find Out
By Tanisha Salwan
Honey is something that has so many benefits but all it needs is a check on its quality. It is no less than a challenge to find pure honey as it could be easily adulterated. Let us see some ways that can determine if the honey is pure or not.
Thumb Test
Put a drop of honey on your thumbnail and see if it spells. If it stays intact, it is pure.
Water Test
Add honey into warm water and mix. If the honey dissolves in water easily, it is not pure.
Flame Test
Dip a piece of cotton in the honey and set it on fire. If it doesn't burn, it is not pure.
Heat Test
Pure honey caramelizes after being heated unlike the adulterated one.
Bread Test
Spread a layer of jam on a bread. If the bread turns crunchy, the honey is pure.
