The Ultimate Guide to Buying Pure Honey: How to Spot the Real Deal
Honey is one of nature’s most powerful superfoods, but not all honey is created equal. With widespread adulteration in the market, knowing how to spot pure, raw honey is essential.
How to Test for Pure Honey at Home
-
Thumb Test: Place a drop of honey on your thumb—if it spreads immediately, it may be impure.
-
Water Test: Drop a spoonful of honey into a glass of water—pure honey will settle at the bottom, while adulterated honey dissolves quickly.
-
Flame Test: Dip a matchstick in honey and try to light it. Pure honey ignites, while impure honey (due to added moisture) won’t.
Raw vs. Processed Honey: What’s the Difference?
-
Raw Honey: Unfiltered, unpasteurized, and retains all its natural enzymes, antioxidants, and nutrients.
-
Processed Honey: Often heated, filtered, and mixed with syrups or preservatives, stripping it of essential benefits.
