Look at the color. Generally speaking, dark honey contains more minerals than light honey. If you want to supplement with trace elements, you can choose dark honey appropriately, such as jujube blossom honey. High quality honey, with a delicate texture and bright color; Poor quality honey is usually cloudy and has poor glossiness.

Smell the odor. Impure honey will smell like fruit sugar or artificial essence, and honey mixed with spices will have an abnormal fragrance. Pure honey has a natural smell and a light floral fragrance.

Taste the taste. Pure honey has a mellow taste, a fragrant and sweet taste, and a long aftertaste after ingestion, making it easy to crystallize; Impurity honey has a sweet and single taste, no aromatic aroma, and a taste of white sugar water. The crystals melt upon entry, with a slight astringency and viscosity. It quickly dissolves when poured into water.

Choose bottled honey. It is best for consumers to purchase honey that has passed the inspection at a legitimate store. When purchasing, pay attention to whether the label contains relevant information such as the factory name, address, hygiene license number, production date, shelf life, product quality code, etc.
