Brilio.net - Honey has long been known as a food rich in health benefits, thanks to its antioxidant content and other good nutrients. Its sweet taste makes honey recommended for daily consumption. Honey is available in various sizes and can be purchased online or offline. However, the high demand has made some unscrupulous sellers mix real honey with other ingredients such as water or sugar.

This adulteration destroys the nutritional content of honey and reduces the deliciousness of its sweet taste. Therefore, it is important to be careful in choosing honey to get a pure and quality product.

If you don't want to be fooled, you have to know the characteristics of real and fake honey .

Well, to find out whether honey is real or fake, some people usually dissolve it in water. Because the texture is solid, honey will settle and turn into a lump at the bottom of the glass. While if it is mixed, honey will dissolve with water.

In addition to these methods, there are other techniques that you can do when you want to see the quality of honey. A netizen named Dia Puspita Sari once explained how to choose real honey in one of her YouTube uploads. In addition to being easy to imitate, you only need to prepare tissues to practice this method. Curious about how to do it?

As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube Dia Puspita Sari on Wednesday (23/8), first prepare two glasses and four sheets of tissue. Then put two sheets of tissue on the mouth of the glass.

Once done, pour the two types of honey that will be tested for quality. No need for much, just put 1 tbsp of honey on a tissue sheet.

The results also describe the quality of each honey. If it is genuine, honey will not make the tissue wet or torn. Even honey only collects in one spot on the tissue.

It's different with fake honey. When poured, honey immediately spreads across the surface of the tissue. After waiting for a while, the surface of the tissue becomes torn because the mixed honey contains water.
