Honey & How To Test If Real or Fake

Here are some tips to test if the honey you are eating is real or fake.

AT THE GROCERY STORE:

Read the ingredients. Anything with additional ingredients, additives or added flavors is adulterated honey.

The USDA does not test for honey purity, so a USDA logo doesn’t mean it’s real. Check the label for phrases that flag a product might be fake, like “honey blend” or “honey product.”

Most authentic honey brands will proudly say so. Research where your honey is coming from, and buy direct from the farm if you can.

AT HOME:

Drop a spoonful of honey into a glass of water. If the honey sinks to the bottom in its entirety, it’s probably real. If it dissolves or leaves white traces, it’s fake.

Dip a matchstick in the honey and try to light it. If it ignites and the honey burns, it’s likely authentic. If not, it’s been watered down. You can also heat the honey itself in a pan or on a spoon – it should caramelize and bubble easily.

In a glass, combine a spoonful of honey, a few drops of vinegar and a small amount of water. If the mixture starts to foam, the honey is adulterated.
