Have your source of Honey in Thailand out of Macro or Tesco ? Here in Phils we drive up the mountains to get the real stuff.
Writing this as i just purchased 2 jars in Europe with many natural and other fake mention. Made of corn syrup, tastes like corn syrup.
I love my hot lemon honey water in the morning, but what can i do with this corn syrup...
Damn society of marketers and profit driven only.
Honey is the only product that can be kept for a thousand years or so !
Most shop sold honey is pasteurized and filtered to clear the pollen so Chinese or Indian origin cannot be traced. Then they add antibiotics and other man made medication to replace the so many natural benefits of this heavenly product...
Four ways to spot artificial honey
The Thumb Test — Put a drop of the honey on your thumb. If it spreads around right away or spills, it’s not pure. If it stays intact, it’s pure.
The Water Test — Fill a glass of water and add one tablespoon of “honey” into the water. Pure honey will lump and settle at the bottom of the glass. Adulterated and artificial honey will start dissolving in water.
The Shelf Life Test — Pure honey will crystallize over time. Imitation honey will remain looking like syrup, no matter how long it is stored.
Light a Fire — Dip the tip of a matchstick in “honey”, and then strike it to light. Natural honey will light the match easily and the flame will burn off the honey. Fake honey will not light because of the moisture it contains.
