It is not too practical for us to buy honey. Usually, we mainly identify the authenticity of honey through sensory identification.: Take a look.
At first glance: Look at the ingredients table, as long as the products named after honey or honey must be pure honey, no other substance is allowed to be added; looking at the purity, honey contains a small amount of plant pollen, and also contains the material of honey glue.Occascular, good honey is glowing in light at light, and the lower end of the honey when the chopsticks are provoked.
