How To Identify The Diluted Honey

The original honey will go down and settle while the water remains clean on top, as clean as it was before, but the diluted honey dissolves and thus change the colour of the water.

Diluted honey can also be identified by tasting and smelling. Or by using matches, take a stick of match, dip it inside honey, then strike, if it is original it will flame, but for diluted one it will not flame (light).

NOTE: Using diluted honey has a serious side effect, the content is no more reliable since it has been tampered with. The honey might have lost its potency. Therefore diluted honey should be avoided.

How to Preserve Honey

The raw honey not exposed to heat is recommended because heat easily destroys some mineral content of honey thus making it ineffective. Honey should not be cooked. Preserve your honey in a neat robber or container, calabash or bottle that has a good lid.
