Not all honey is created equal, and with so many imitation products on the market, it’s useful to know a simple way to check whether your honey is pure or mixed with additives.
The Water Test
Real honey: When you drop a spoonful into a glass of water, it will sink to the bottom and stay there.
Pure honey is dense and thick, so it doesn’t dissolve quickly.
Fake honey: Adulterated or diluted honey will begin to dissolve almost immediately, spreading through the water instead of settling.
This easy home test isn’t laboratory proof, but it’s a quick and practical way to get an idea of your honey’s quality.
Pure honey has a natural density, aroma, and texture that can’t be easily faked — and once you know what to look for, it’s easy to tell the difference.
