Brilio.net - Honey is often used as a mixture of drinks, food ingredients, or consumed directly. This natural nectar is known to have various health benefits. Reported from mayoclinic.org, honey acts as an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial which is good for the body.
In addition, honey is also beneficial for the digestive system, helps relieve fever and cough, improves brain function, and is a healthier alternative to sugar. Before buying, it is important to ensure its purity, because it is not uncommon for honey to have been mixed with other ingredients.
Some traders may mix honey with water, syrup, or sugar for more profit. The mixture can reduce the natural benefits of honey and make it go stale faster. Therefore, recognizing real honey is important to get the best benefits.
There are a number of tricks to find out the authenticity of honey, such as burning it or soaking it in water. However, a netizen named Rizal has another trick that is rarely known to many people. The only ingredient needed is one, namely eggs. So, what is the trick?
"This experiment is so that friends at home are not deceived when buying honey, because now the public's need for honey is increasing," he explained, quoted by brilio.net from YouTube Bang Rizal on Thursday (3/4).
First, prepare a plate or bowl and put an egg yolk in it. Next, pour 1 tablespoon of honey into the plate. Stir for a few moments until the egg yolk and honey are well mixed.

After stirring, the effect will be seen. If the honey is pure or original without any mixture of ingredients, the eggs look thick and slightly change color. Unlike fake or mixed honey, Rizal showed, the eggs showed no change.
"Meanwhile, fake honey has no effect," he stressed.
