Honey Purity Test - DIY- Shots

The market is filled with honey promising you that they are the best quality. But how can you be sure that what they claim is true?

Here are four simple tests that you can perform at home to identify if your honey is pure or adulterated -

1. Water Dissolving Test: Fill a glass with water and add a teaspoon of honey into the glass. Adulterated or impure honey will readily dissolve in water. On the other hand, pure honey will settle right at the bottom of the glass.

2. The Flame Test: Start by taking a tissue paper and roll it. Dip the tip of the tissue with honey. Light it and see if it lights up. Pure honey is flammable. But if the honey is impure, it will not light up as it contains moisture.

3. The Blot test: A test to see if the honey is diluted with water using a blotting or tissue paper. Put a few drops of honey on a paper. It may be absorbed or leave a wet mark on the paper. Both pure and impure honey will not be absorbed, but adulterated honey will leave a wet mark.

4. The Thumb Test: Put a small drop of the honey on your thumb. Check if it spills or spread around on your thumb. If it spreads then the honey is impure since pure honey will stay intact on your thumb.

The froth or flame test might look convincing, but it proves nothing. Adulterated honey can still pass these tricks. If you're serious about purity, ask for a lab test—not a kitchen experiment.
