Health Benefits of Honey
As soon as we hear the name honey, we start craving for its sweet taste. Honey is extremely beneficial for health. Made from the nectar of flowers, honey can bring beauty and sweetness to life. However, in this era of adulteration, it is crucial to differentiate between real and fake honey. Make sure to identify the authenticity of honey before consuming it for improving health.
Identification of Real vs Fake Honey
To differentiate between real and fake honey, a simple method has been devised. The purity of honey can be determined by using warm water. Mix a spoonful of honey in a glass of warm water. If the honey settles at the bottom of the glass, it is considered real. If the honey easily dissolves in water, it is likely adulterated. Another way to determine the purity of honey is through the flame test. If adulterated, honey will burn slowly on contact with fire. By conducting these tests, you can ensure that the honey you are consuming is authentic.
Identifying Flower-based Honey by Color

He mentions that honey prepared from jamun flowers will appear purplish, while honey from litchi flowers will have a golden color. He also highlights the two types of honey ★medicinal and normal.
