How to Distinguish Real Honey from Fake Honey
- Prepare a glass of water and drop a few drops of honey into it; if the honey sinks to the bottom, it indicates real honey, whereas if it dissolves in water, it is fake honey.
- Additionally, you can store the honey in the refrigerator for 7 – 24 hours. If when taken out the honey still retains its stickiness like malt candy, it is indeed real honey.
- Moreover, you can try putting honey in a bowl and dipping a fresh green onion into it. After a while, if the onion wilts, it is a sign that the honey is real.

How to buy delicious sweet potatoes
- For white sweet potatoes, choose those with a creamy white skin; for purple sweet potatoes, select those with a light grayish-purple skin, and for yellow sweet potatoes, choose those with a dark yellow, brownish skin.
- Good sweet potatoes are usually round or look elongated, with no indentation at the waist. Additionally, those that are less fibrous, have a lot of starch, and especially have a sweet and rich taste should be chosen when pressed, feeling not too hard.
- Moreover, sweet and fluffy sweet potatoes usually still have a layer of powder or soil clinging to the skin.
- Avoid buying sweet potatoes that are damaged, chipped, or cracked excessively, as these are signs that the sweet potatoes are not good.
- Another tip when choosing sweet potatoes is to avoid those with black spots or holes, as these indicate that the sweet potatoes have spoiled and are no longer usable.
