Invert sugar / corn syrup / molasses / jaggery and many other things & flavours are added in honey to call it “PURE HONEY”. You will find the honey available in the market is clean and clear liquid like a syrup with fancy packaging – its all fake. I am from India and I have taken almost all the brands of honey available in the market. According to my experience and little knowledge, Honey which is collected wildly from nature is the best honey anyone can get and trust me its rare now and will get rarer as world population is at an alarming 7.5 billion and still increasing and forest/ green cover is declining. I am a Wild honey collector and a occasional hunter.

Apologies for the length and any errors, I can talk all night about honey! reply Take a look at my Facebook page Earthly Produce and if you feel like dancing with bees drop me a line, you might even get to harvest your own honey. I have just got the honey analysis back from my local university giving me the details of what my bees foraged on in the past few months. I got one yesterday from a friend and he was so excited ago tell me about the colour (black) and we both spent a few minutes trying to guess what the bees foraged on. I should know, since November last year I have seen and tasted about ten different types. There are just as many aromas as there are colors and textures. Once honey is harvested, pressed and sealed straight away it tends to form a bit of foam at the top. Not all honey burns the throat, some are quite smooth. Some types of honey are quite watery not the thick ones you are used to. Some types of honey granulate, hence you might experience it setting or forming granules. If two different textures of honey are mixed, you will find layers in the final product. In response to your tests, I must say it’s quite a mixed bag. Up ripe honey is ok to consume but it does not last very long as the fermentation process begins. The bees do this themselves but sometimes people are not patient enough and may try to get to the honey first. Honey is like a crop, it has to ripen first before it is harvested, this means that the water content has to be low. First let me suggest a possible reason why your honey fermented, it’s not that it is fake, it was probably not ripe before harvesting. I am a beekeeper in Osun State and yes, I collect honey from my bees.

My sister saw this blog and called my attention to it. Please let me know what brand of honey you tested and what the results are. Here is a comprehensive list of tests you can perform on your honey to find out if it real or not. Looks like I am going to go back to Stevia – the powdered version – until I find an original local supply of honey. At one point, I gave up on our local honey and went the way of liquid Stevia but the need to keep it refrigerated is such a bother in Nigeria where power supply is an issue, that I moved back to “pure” honey. There are several brands of honey sold in supermarkets with labels screaming how Pure and Natural they are despite being the opposite. We know this for a fact but because we are left with really little choice, we go right ahead and purchase them.Īdulterated honey is a big deal, especially for people that are trying to cut out sugar from their diet. An indication that the honey may be adulterated – despite all the assurances of the vendor otherwise. That points to the fact that some fermentation process was going on in the bottle.

When I opened it today, there was a small “pop” sound like I had let out some gas. A few weeks ago, I bought some honey and used some of it.
