How to choose quality honey
- You should choose honey with a uniform color, without any dark or light spots, as these are likely to be mixed.
- Additionally, you can test by dripping a drop into a glass of water; if the honey does not dissolve and sinks to the bottom of the glass, it is real honey of good quality that you should buy.
- You can also test by putting a piece of green onion into the honey and wait for 5 minutes; if the green onion shrinks after 5 minutes, then this honey is worth buying.
- It’s best to buy quality honey from reputable sources.
