00:21 - The burning test
02:37 - The glass of water test
03:45 - The rotating plates test

Drop a teaspoon of honey into a glass of water. Fake honey will immediately start to dissolve, whilst raw honey will drop to the bottom of the glass intact. Place a drop of room temperature or cooler honey on your finger, If the 'honey' spreads then it is fake honey.

How do you know if honey is real?
Vinegar and water – Mix 1 teaspoon of honey with 2 spoons of vinegar and little water. If it foams up, the honey is not pure. Heat test – If honey is heated, it quickly caramelizes and that indicates pure honey. Impure or adulterated honey bubbles up on heating.

What is the difference between real and fake honey?
Real honey is not sticky if it is rubbed between your fingers, however fake honey is sticky due to the sweeteners added in its creation. This difference is easy to test and very noticeable. Real honey is quite thick in texture, taking time to move, whereas fake honey is very runny and quickly spills, moves and travels.

How do you know if honey is 100% pure?
Simply fill a glass of water and add a teaspoon of honey into the glass. Adulterated or impure honey will easily dissolve in water and you will see it around the glass. On the other hand, original honey will settle right at the bottom of the glass.

Pure honey is dense and trickles only into a stream. It has a soft texture, will never separate into layers and offers a distinct sweet aroma

Is real honey dark or light?
Honey color ranges from nearly colorless to dark brown, and its flavor varies from delectably mild to distinctively bold, depending on where the honey bees buzzed. As a general rule, light-colored honey is milder in taste and dark-colored honey is stronger.

Thanks. Good demo. I remember from living in Poland in 60' a pencil test. All you need to do is spread the honey drops on the skin using a soft "B" or copy pencil - if the honey becomes colored, we can be 100% sure that it is not real. Basically we are talking about added sugar into honey.

Can't see much of a difference between the real and fake tests?

I am glad I was aable to mute the distracting music. Is there any scientific basis for these tests? Did you test different varieties of pure honey? Did you analyse the fake honey to find out what was really in it?

I tried several of the tests. They worked great, especially the toothpick burn test. The jar of honey I suspected to be impure definitely was. But be careful... the boiling honey dripped from the toothpick to the hand that was holding the lighter 😵🥴 Try not to make the same mistake. Thanks for the info though! Next time I will be more careful .

Two bottles upside down suddenly and check each bottoms. The bottom of pure honey is no difference but the bottom of fake one has some substance of sugar you can see !!

You used the lighter color one for the fake honey. It is difficult to detect any significant differences because of it

Depends if the beekeeper supplemented his bees with sugar water. 90% do that. Does it make it fake honey? It was made by bees, right?

It's depends on how the honey mix with additive and what additive is used

I doubt your experiment sir coz you got brown honey and light one and made the light one fake which is not fair at least you would have brought honey if the same color
More research and work needed

You are the bees knees. Winnie the Pooh would be happy with you. If only there was a test for lab grown or petri dish chicken.

Keep both in freezer. Sugar crystals would form in the impure honey. Period!

How can you tell 'raw' honey from honeys that are sold as 'raw honey'?

Real honey solidifies after 2 weeks. Natural and not pasteurized.
