      First: Real Honey

      ①Color: transparent or translucent; ② Odor: special aromatic smell; ③ Taste: sweet and delicious, with a sticky feeling in the mouth; ④ Shape: viscous liquid, stringy, continuous flow, can crystallize at low temperature (below 10 degrees); ⑤ Specific gravity: 1.5 times that of water, 1000 ml is about 1.5 kilograms; ⑥ Combustion: Complete combustion, with very little residual powder; ⑦ Exposure to the sun: It becomes thinner after exposure to the sun; ⑧ Chewing: The crystal particles are crispy when you bite them, and melt when you hold them in your mouth.

      Second: fake honey

      ①Color: turbid, bright color, light yellow or dark yellow; ② Odor: no aromatic smell or pungent odor; ③ Taste: light or sweet or salty or astringent, no aromatic taste; ④ Shape: suspended matter or sediment, low viscosity, easy to stop flowing, pick up with a spoon and drop. ⑤ Specific gravity: slightly heavier than water, 1000 ml is about 1.3 kg; ⑥ Combustion: more ash, with coke-like residue; ⑦ Exposure: no obvious change or more viscous; ⑧ Chewing: The crystallized pieces are chewed like sugar, with a crisp and loud sound.
