When it comes to honey, not all that glitters is gold. In fact, there's a lot of fake honey out there masquerading as the real thing. Here are five signs that your honey may not be the real McCoy:
- The price is too good to be true. If you see honey for sale at a rock-bottom price, it's likely that it's not the real deal.
- The honey is clear. Real honey is usually opaque or cloudy, not clear.
- The honey doesn't taste good. If the honey doesn't have much flavor, it's probably not the real thing.
- The honey doesn't crystallize. Real honey will crystallize over time, but fake honey usually won't.
- The ingredients list is suspicious. If the list of ingredients is very short or doesn't make sense, the honey is probably fake.
