If in the middle of winter a trader wants to sell you liquid honey with the guarantee that it is real - do not believe him. The only exceptions are buckwheat and acacia honey, which do not crystallize.
Natural honey is liquid only during the first 1-2 months, and then it must crystallize. Of course, candied honey is not worse than liquid, but it is also a guarantee of quality and real product.
What's more, it can always be melted in a water bath. The basic rule is that the water temperature should not exceed 40 degrees, so as not to kill the useful substances.
When buying honey, make sure it is a uniform color, without lumps and slowly flows on the spoon.
If it drains too fast, it means that it contains too many impurities, moisture and has a chance to sour soon, although real honey generally has no shelf life.
Natural honey consists of 75% glucose and fructose, contains virtually no sucrose, but is rich in many enzymes, organic acids, trace elements and vitamins. Buckwheat honey is good for anemia. The bee product from linden is a faithful helper in colds and flu.
Mountain chestnut honey normalizes the work of the urinary organs, and royal jelly - the respiratory system. Devil's mouth honey soothes. Using just one teaspoon of it can dramatically improve sleep. Honey is considered an allergenic product, but white acacia elixir rarely causes allergies.
If the honey you bought has a taste of burnt sugar, it means that it is not only deprived of its useful properties, but is also harmful to health. Under the influence of high temperatures, carcinogenic substances are formed in it.
An easy check of the properties of real honey can be done with the help of iodine or vinegar. If the honey diluted with water and a few drops of iodine turns blue, then it is mixed with starch, and if the vinegar foams it - probably chalk is added to it.
