How to choose quality honey
- You should choose to buy pure honey, which has a yellow or bright orange color.
- Do not buy honey that has turned black, has bubbles on the surface, has a strong pungent smell, and tastes sour and bitter, as this is honey that has fermented and is no longer good for health.
- Currently, there are many fake honeys and adulterated honeys on the market, so you should choose honey from reputable stores, supermarkets, or on e-commerce platforms to buy.
