how to test purity of honey - #24597
I am really worried about the honey I've been using. I bought a jar from a local farmer's market, and I thought it was pure honey, but now I have my doubts. A friend mentioned something about how to test purity of honey, and I’m wondering if I can do it at home? I've noticed that this honey doesn’t crystallize like the others I've had before, and it seems too thick, maybe? Plus, I remember reading somewhere that pure honey is supposed to taste different — like floral and complex, but this just tastes kinda bland… And I definitely don’t wanna get scammed with the stuff that has added sugars or syrups. I've heard about tests like the water test and the flame test, but honestlty, I’m not sure what they require. Can anyone give me some simple methods on how to test purity of honey? Like, what should I look for, and how do you even do these tests? If anyone has tried it or had similar concerns, help would be super appreciated! Just wanna make sure I'm not feeding my family something that’s not what it claims to be, ya know?
