Fill a clear cup with water and place a spoonful of honey in the center without stirring.
Real honey: It sinks to the bottom and holds its shape.
Fake honey: It dissolves before reaching the bottom, indicating that it contains additives.
3. Crystallization Test
Pure honey tends to crystallize naturally, especially in cold climates or when the temperature drops below 14°C.
Real honey: thickens and forms small granules, without losing its properties.
Fake honey: remains liquid year-round, which may indicate heat treatment or mixing with sugars.
4. Napkin Test
Place a few drops of honey on a clean piece of napkin.
Real honey: It stays on the surface without spreading or moistening the paper.
Fake honey: It leaves a moist haze due to the presence of water or syrup.
