    Original title: Honey run dry will be just eat, you bought right?
    now the weather is dry, many people have constipation and other discomfort, this season is best for drinking honey water sooner or later. But the honey market fish and dragon mixed, how to buy the original honey? Wu Fuhui, director of the National BeeKeepers Internet Committee of the China Beekeeping Society and founder of the CBFU China Bee Friends Alliance, said that price, color, nature and other aspects can be distinguished.
    A look at the price point
    choose honey first look at the price, too cheap honey is best not to buy, below the normal cost price may be nectar, concentrated honey, or even hook honey (i.e. fake honey).
    All-Natural Honey Bees first collect nectar and then go through a series of natural brewing procedures in the hive, usually seven days later, the bees will seal the honey with a layer of bee wax, quite to tell its owner that the honey is ripe. Honey like this is not processed by anyone, can be directly consumed, contains nutrients, especially active enzymes are also the most abundant, long-term consumption of the human body has many benefits.
    nectar is the nectar picked back by the bees, has not been through a series of bee brewing procedures, was taken out in advance for sale, so that honey is nectar. The reason is called nectar is because the honey moisture content is very high, not easy to save, easy to go bad.
    Honey processing enterprises acquired the honey, in order to prevent fermentation and desalination due to high moisture, and then through high temperature concentrated water method, the honey through artificial processing into a high concentration of honey. Although this concentrated honey is less watery and easy to preserve, the process of high-temperature processing destroys many of the active enzymes in the honey and changes the "characteristics" of the honey. As we all know, natural honey is hot, detoxifying, moisturizing effect, many people will choose to drink honey water to improve constipation. But the high temperature heated honey becomes "dry", which is why many constipated people drink more honey more constipation reasons.
    honey, also known as hook honey, is artificially hooked out by a variety of chemical raw materials out of honey, in all honey the price of the cheapest, but long-term consumption is harmful to the human body.
    is the reasonable price of honey? WuFaHui to the reporter calculated an account, pure natural honey production cycle is long, the corresponding high cost, plus transportation costs, commodity packaging, intermediate channels, such as a bottle of 500 grams of natural honey sold in the store, generally will not be less than 30 yuan. Below this price may be concentrated honey, nectar, or fake honey.
    second look at color,
    Wu Hairhui introduced, the second skill of choosing honey is to see color, nature. We often see different honeys on the market, such as nectar, jaundice, nectar, tea nectar and so on, each honey has its own unique color, characteristics and taste. Consumers can avoid buying fake and inferior honey by doing a little "homework" on it before buying it.
    In the case of honey, which is characterized by a light liquid shape when it is first taken out of the hive, it usually condenses naturally into a milky solid after a few days, and if the honey you buy in the supermarket or online is brown liquid, then you certainly don't buy real honey.
    third taste, smell
    Wu Hairhui introduced, the third skill of choosing honey is to smell, taste. The smell of natural honey has a natural, uniform, elegant fragrance, if it smells pungent, or even a little pungent, then it is possible to add flavor. The taste of natural honey will not taste too sweet, in the sweet taste will contain a lot of rich flavor, in the mouth for a while, can produce a variety of flavors, if the honey is too sweet may be added syrup.
    Three with mineral water
    active enzyme is a major characteristic of natural honey, processed honey or false honey is not available with this substance, active enzyme in honey, to the richness of the foam shows that beekeepers shake honey, honey barrels often have rich foam, and for a long time. So the fourth trick in choosing honey is to pour the honey into a mineral water bottle with half a bottle of water and shake it until the honey is completely dissolved. At this time to observe whether the surface of honey water will form a white foam-like substance, and whether the white foam is delicate and uniform, this layer of white foam is the active enzyme of honey. If the honey water is set aside, this layer of foam will not subside for a long time, or even put the foam on for a day may not subside. If the surface of the honey water does not form a white foam, or the white foam is not delicate and uniform, or the foam quickly subsides, then you are buying fake honey or poor quality honey.
