Another simple method to check the purity of honey is the water test.

To put it into practice, fill a glass with water, then pour a tablespoon of honey into it. If it melts, the honey is not pure.

Artificial honey dissolves easily in water and spreads throughout the glass. Pure honey, on the other hand, will sink to the bottom of the glass and remain intact.

Honey must be absolutely pure and organic . Fake honey can also contain substances such as dextrose, glucose, molasses, sugar, corn syrup, flour or starch, among others.

Pure honey contains about 16 minerals, 21 vitamins, 18 amino acids and several phytonutrients with antioxidant and healing properties.
