How to check if Honey is Pure
Determining whether honey is pure can be important for ensuring its quality and authenticity. Here are some methods you can use to check for honey purity:
Water Test: Place a spoonful of honey in a glass of water. Pure honey will generally dissolve slowly and settle at the bottom. If the honey disperses quickly or floats, it might be diluted.
Thumb Test: Put a small amount of honey on your thumb. If it spills or spreads quickly, it might be adulterated. Pure honey should stay intact and not run off.
Heat Test: Place a small amount of honey in a pan and heat it. Pure honey will caramelize and not produce foam. Adulterated honey may bubble and foam.
Paper Test: Place a drop of honey on a piece of paper. Pure honey should not seep through the paper. If it does, it could be diluted.
Taste and Aroma: Pure honey often has a complex flavor and aroma. If it tastes overly sweet or lacks depth, it might not be pure.
Professional Testing: For a more accurate result, consider sending a sample to a food laboratory for a purity test, which can analyze the honey's composition in detail.
Each of these methods can give you clues about honey's purity, but combining several tests can provide a more reliable indication

Most of those are just tests for moisture content. Pure honey can be 18-22% moisture content, depending on environmental conditions when the honey was produced. My 21% honey that I pulled from my own hives would fail most of those tests... Videos like this result in me having to refund money to my customers that purchased perfectly natural raw, unfiltered wildflower honey, but saw a video on RU-vid that convinced them we sold them fake honey. Happens every year. Thank you so much..

@themikecranston 2 года назад

@Cecilia Cole Unfortunately, there's not. The rice syrup that's used to cut Chinese honey is almost impossible to test for. Labs have developed a test that looks for specific enzymes. Best option is to not buy honey that's imported. China ships the fake honey to various countries to hide the country of origin. Unless you're in China, avoid any imported honey.

I am a beekeeper and I can tell you that some of these test will not help you distinguish between pure and none pure honey. To start, honey acts very different depending on the moisture content inside. Honey with a moisture content of 18% would fail some of these test like the thumb test and he air in jar test. It is common for pure bees honey to have around 18% moisture depending on where it was harvested. Warm honey would also fail the thumb test and air in jar test as honey consistency changes with temperature.

I read that the procedure to fake honey is perfected so well that the only way to tell if it's real is to test it in a lab . I bought raw unfiltered honey in north Carolina that I trusted and it tasted great . Now I have retired to my wife's county in the Philippines . I haven't seen a single honey bee here yet in 4 years . But they sell "honey" on the streets etc . I bought some and it gave me acne Honey does not do that.

I grew up as a beekeeper's son (& hence, assistant) and am somewhat amused by these 'tests'. Honey is a variable substance, changing with temperature, depending heavily on floral source etc. It is also very hygroscopic and will absorb moisture from the air if allowed, thereby changing its viscosity. The rising air bubble test for one is nonesense. Try that with 100% pure granulated aloe honey for example.

@jnova3328 Год назад

Hi Douglas, you are an expert in beekeeping and honey. I would appreciate your thoughts on how to check if honey is pure. I have a question that I hope you can answer. Does boiling hot water reduce or eliminate all of the good nutrients that are in honey? I always add honey to my tea and try to wait until it isn't boiling hot before I add the honey.

@vonigis 3 года назад

Sorry. This is just wrong. You can not confirm the honey is real by those tests you described. Although you can tell by those, whether the honey is a good one or not. But this is also a matter of subjective taste prefferance. Honeys are different, depending on the season, different by year even, also, depending on altitude, flora of the region, beekeeper's technique.. For me, the best honey is the honey from the beehive that was not fed with sugar at the time of honey harvest and secondly, the wax compartments should be closed already by bees. This means honey is matured, water is evaporated or so to say honey is ready for the storage for the whole year or more. So you basically have to know the beekeeper well and to trust him. Still it is actually great that with this video you address the huge problem of faking honey, all around the world. Thank you. 🙏

So you know how to check if honey is pure but, where would you go if you were to die today? Seek the Lord and saviour Jesus Christ before it's too late. John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Hell is real and Heaven is also real. You don't want to spend an eternity in Hell torment without God. The only way to escape Hell is to follow Jesus Christ our Lord and saviour. Study the KJV Bible to know more and pray and seek until you find Jesus. Don't delay tomorrow might be too late. You are not promised even the next minute. Do it now

Nice ideas but: you did not show the counter example. Also: Different honey have a different amount of water inside. Some really very good honey can be very light runny. It will not stick to your bread and flow down. Like acacia honey. Larch honey has quickly crystals like normal sugar as it contains little water. Bee die in winter if they have mostly this honey. I had bees by myself. When you feed them sugar for the winter then they add also things from the flowers and it tastes totally like honey. So sorry up to now I have not found something to proof if a honey is pure. Yet as I was working with bees I can quickly say because of the smell if it is a good honey or not. Normally people don‘t even notice a difference while I do.

@markthornhill519 3 года назад

Nope sorry it has to do with the temperature of the honey..not water content. Honey is sealed in the comb..with moisture content between 16 and 18 %. No more no less. The honey bees do this. 2% difference will not affect how runny the honey is. I know a lil. I have over 300 hives.

@brazzaferochannel6802 2 года назад

it's not always the honey test that's true. It all depends on the water content in the honey produced by the bees. If the water content is low, especially honey produced in dry areas, then the honey is thick. Viscosity is very influential on the force of gravity. Likewise, honey with a lot of water content in tropical countries, for example, differs in its adhesion and density with thicker honey. 🙏

Claims about adulterated honey were tested in Australia several years back, and found almost no evidence of adulterated honey in shops. So while this is widely believed, it isn't necessarily true. Choice Magazine prompted the investigation but the national regulator disputed the claims and maintains that the test used is not sufficiently accurate to be valid. (cant recall what it was offhand). Shooting from the hip, it looks to me that these 'tests' in the video prove nothing. Not least because this can only work if you already have samples of known 'pure' honey, and 'adulterated honey', and that appears to not be the case. Note that exactly what 'adulterated honey' means, is not known anyway; it could mean many different things, so it is not as if there are only two possible samples.

Yep, that first test is bogus, I can put honey collected right from my beekeeper friend's hive on my thumb and it will run off. That test is also heavily dependent on ambient temperature becuse on a hot summer day, the honey will flow faster than in a cool autumn day.

Thanks for the laugh, not seen so much rubbish since I gave up watching TikTok

@gregoriocinco921 3 года назад

My method is to dip a matchstick head in it and ignite the match as usual. If it sparks and burns, then it is pure honey. I consider this the fastest and most accurate test. Anyways, thanks for this video. 😊👍

@Rosesraspberries72 2 года назад

Another commenter said the same thing 👌🏼 will have to make sure I have a packet of matches on me while purchasing honey from now on 😂✊🏼

We can find original Honey only by test it in a lab otherwise we cannot find it original or not .

Ya aniline test. I did for my research.

@angrymallbabies5081 3 года назад

OK, but I hope the grocery store won’t mind me opening a jar or two of honey to run these tests in their store.

@rondohunter8966 2 года назад

Don't know about the processing of honey to go into jars for the market but I did learn that honey is pasteurized before being shipped to the consumer. Wouldn't this process necessarily remove some of the water content? This would effectively make the honey thicker due to less moisture content.

@TripReviews Год назад

Don’t know about the states but you can buy unpasteurized honey in Ontario Canada, not only from beekeepers but at local farmers markets and some grocery stores. I remember reading one label advertising it as unpasteurized pure honey and may contain bee parts.

@rondohunter8966 Год назад

@@TripReviews Lol! Yep we have "admitted insect parts" categories for our food as well. It's impossible to keep them out so it appears. As for pasteurization I was under the impression that less is supposedly healthier, to an extent. Some products do not handle pasteurization while others have no problem. Studies have shown that, in general, pasteurization is beneficial to consumers due to said treatment while non-pasteurized food may contain germs and such. For me it boils down to "can my stomach handle this stuff or not?" kinda thinking.

@Foxtrap731 Год назад

I’ve had runny honey right out of the hive. Sometimes it’s thin.

@SirVonn 3 года назад

It seems you don't really know the meaning of 'Testing'. It is actually a comparative analysis. And to do so you need 1) a threshold benchmark, and 2) a Control. The Threshold Benchmarks are pre-established parameters and you have defined them (cohesiveness like a drop on the nail, ability to burn like a fuel, etc.). But where is the Control? In this case, it should have been a fake sample of honey that clearly fails on the Threshold Benchmarks. Without that, the entire video becomes simply a subjective viewpoint, a personal opinion of yours that may or may not be true under different conditions

@orgmesia4633 3 года назад

Dont use metal/steel spoon it would destroy the honey!!! Use plastic or wood

@mpesmail1834 3 года назад

He forgot the main test which is simplest. Turn the jar upside down. Watch the honey in base dripping. It should drip in 1 single line and not as drops. If the dripping breaks up, then its a mix.

@pinwheelgrl9304 2 года назад

You know, people may think fake honey is not harmful. But I would like to remind people that you don't know what is used to make it, depending on where it originates. Because there is a known issue with cough & cold type syrups being adulterated with things like propylene glycol type chemicals (i.e. antifreeze, which is sweet and dogs like it too). So many of our food products are now produced out of country, yet packaged here and we may not know where it came from. Thank you for this vid!

@nathans1978 2 года назад

Honey is amazing. From nature…simply amazing.

@jimb3093 2 года назад

how do you prevent honey turning into solid sugar, that's my problem. Probably cheap honey huh?

@sherrykendrick1765 3 года назад

This is good to know. I take a spoonful of honey every morning for allergies. Fake honey doesn't quite have the same effect.

@ramzimabrouk3534 3 года назад

Try not use a metal spoon because it kills the good of the honey,try to use a wood or plastic spoon, better wood spoon.

@tandemwings4733 2 года назад

This is total rubbish. It is not indicative at all. To be safe, just but locally produced honey.

@yves2075 2 года назад

A serious video would have a split screen, with each experiment done on the pure, and the non-pure honeys. That way, we don't have to blindly take your word. Has that even crossed your mind?

@breakthroughmadeinusa9184 2 года назад

Excellent. The only thing I’d do differently is have a side by side os impure and pure honey.

@JohnJ469 Год назад

Simple answer. Buy from local beekeepers. You'll get a richer range of flavours as every hive is different.

@SpyAlelo 2 года назад

I am not a bee farmer nor an expert on the subject, yet I know that all of these tests are BS. We have raw, pure, unfiltered honey as a result from a beehive removal from our home. We decided to keep the honey to ourselves (we asked nicely to the bee wrangler). I know where our honey came from and I put it in jars straight from the honeycombs myself and it would fail all of these tests since it seems like the water content in it is a bit on the high side. Take what you see here with a huge boulder of salt.

@douglasclerk2764 Год назад

Agreed.

@theoldschoolriders7074 7 месяцев назад

Read all the comments, some say those test are nonsense.

@johnburrows1179 3 года назад

Another way is this. Take the honey and pour about a 3-4” blob on a plate. Let it spread out. Put water on the plate just enough to cover the honey, and swish water gently back and forth over the honey. Pure unfiltered unheated honey will generate its genetic code immediately, you will see, all hexagon designs. Watered down or impure honey, the hexagon genetic code will barely be visible. A lot of watered down crap out there. No joke

Eat only raw and unpasteurized manuka honey from New Zealand 🇳🇿. It is the real deal.

@AlleyCat-1 3 года назад

Or get your own bee's & ask them to share, it can be pretty tasty & it won't be store bought 😉

@NetvoTV 2 года назад

How do you differentiate if it has added ingredients to make it less pure but still has pureness in it?

@richardmiddleton7770 2 года назад

Would I be right in saying raw honey has a bitter taste and will crystallize a lot quicker than fake honey?

@exporteragro5638 Год назад

It looks solid, how much is its content of water ?

@newoldskool9737 Год назад

Why not do a side by side comparison,,, was it hard to find artificial honey?

@markfaulkner8965 2 года назад

Also with pure honey…if you put a drop on a saucer and add just a little hot water and swirl the plate; the honey will form a honeycomb shape where the drop is and fake honey just dissolves.

@savedbygrace1582 2 года назад

It would have been good to demonstrate the impure so that we could actually see it instead of only imagining it. But other than that, thank you for your video.

@tomtenbrunsel266 2 года назад

Fun way to tell is put a 1/2 teaspoon on a small cowl and cover with water. Swirl it around till it gives up the beehives secret😉

@michaelairheart6921 2 года назад

Both corn syrup and fructose burn and those are probably the most common things added to honey by not so honest sellers. If you want pure honey, get it from the beekeeper not the store. Especially if you want unpasteurized honey.

@mamunhasan6592 2 года назад

It’s a real and good methods to check it pure or not. Thank you so much for posting this vlog.

@ruggedmotivation5454 2 года назад

I bought local honey for the first and I’ll never go back to store bought honey. Pure honey has a different taste and different colors. I did learn that as well. But very cool video though!👍 God Bless Everybody in the comments and to you as well! 🙏🙏🙏

@americanlostinvietnam3721 Год назад

Some bee farmers just give bees sugar and they mass produce honey from the sugar instead of from pollen. It's faster as the bees don't have to spend time collecting. I don't know of a test to know which honey is actually from flower pollen.
