How to Choose Good Quality Honey
- When buying honey, you should choose products with a clear brand and origin sold in supermarkets or reputable honey stores.
- To check if the honey is good and of high quality, you can drop honey on oil-absorbent paper; if the droplets form a ball and dissolve slowly or not at all, that is real honey. Conversely, if it dissolves quickly, it has been diluted and its nutritional value is compromised.
- Avoid buying honey that has expired, indicated by the formation of white bubbles on the surface, a strong pungent smell, and a sour-bitter taste when tasted.
