Real v. Fake Honey - How can you tell the difference?

Natural, organic honey from your local beekeeper is incredibly healthy for you.
But is that what you're buying at the grocery store? Many "honey" producers add artificial sweeteners or corn syrup to make their profit margin a little bit bigger at your expense.
Know the difference!
Condrell Honey is nothing but pure, natural honey straight from the bees to your table. Don't settle for anything less!

[@biancasabrina9004]

Pure honey never expires

[@markzuccberg8926]

RockstarTEENS Gaming True!

[@ebiooo]

It will expired in 3000 yrs smh

[@EchoHeo]

Hensh a No u can eat 4000 yr old honey

[@ebiooo]

Bluemon okay then, it will expired in 10k years

[@nikolkuhar8127]

it doesn't expire, but if you open the jar with honey( i don't mean that you only open the lid, I mean that you open it because you want to eat it) after 2-3 months it will start to crystallize, in crystals sugar like, but it won't crystallize thought one night, it will be like one millimeter in month. But even after it crystallize you can eat it 100 years later.

[@laurietijerina293]

You can tell by color,taste and real honey doesn't expire.

[@theialx]

honey's colors varies cause there are many honey varieties

[@vynti7080]

It doesnt? No wonder my honey is been a year ( ITS TOO SWEET! Not my type but i want to put it on some pancakes )

[@anatashianguyen4131]

ᗰᗩIᘔIKO usually if fake honey is kept for a long time for ab a yr or two, it will kinda lose it's sweet taste a little bit. but i recommend maple syrup for pancakes!

[@jeremysmith746]

Laurie Tijerina amen to that and it's healthy for you. I eat saltine crackers and pure honey everyday and drop pounds like crazy

[@justinhamilton8647]

Jeremy Smith Exactly my routine as well! Since I started eating crackers with honey for breakfast instead of my traditional fatty English breakfast, I’ve just about been melting pounds off, I’m down 5 stone in 9 months

[@myopinion4365]

this is gonna all be awkward to do at the grocery store, but I refuse to be swindled!

[@pauswanson]

You literally just have to look at the ingredients

[@Bharat_Honey_Hyderabad]

Real honey prices vary according to the flower source and geographical location of honey. Never believe in-home testing or traditional methods to test honey if it is real or fake. These are outdated and failed methods. The reason is, the modern Chinese adulterants mixed with honey can pass all these tests and even FSSAI testing parameters. So, check the local brand providing honey varieties and it should be NMR tested. NMR is an advanced test that ensures that honey is not adulterated with any kind of modern adulterants.

[@mr.randomly2799]

I had a bottle of honey once. It said that it was real honey and that it should be placed in a fridge. I was suspicious about. Why would honey need to be in a fridge when they can be preserved for thousands of years? So I placed it on the dining table and waited for a day. I'm not surprised it turned very liquid like.

[@TheAndroidGamer367]

Make sure to check the ingredients. Real honey only had one ingredients. Honey!

[@DonCornelius366]

We are futunate in Florida. We have bee keepers who sell locally grown honey - just honey - everywhere. I don't by the store brought stuff any longer. One problem solved. Another problem arises: my wife uses it all!!

[@scarystories5829]

Way to solve it: divorce her

[@alanesmith3053]

I saw in another video that Florida has the best laws regarding honey labels. If a honey maker is located in, and selling in, Florida, they are required to put everything on the label. In other states that is not a law, apparently. Some honey producers add things like high fructose corn syrup. We consumers should insist this law be passed in other states. Similar laws exist regarding olive oils. It pisses me off when producers of products get away with mislabeling their products. Buyer beware, I guess!

[@gabrieladaniel9687]

I have a good one. Add a spoon of honey on a glass plate. Then add a little bit of water just to cover the honey. But just a little. Hold the plate and make round movements with your hand. If the honey is real you'll see drawings/shapes of honeycomb appearing on the plate. It's just beautiful.

[@minakshiverma5459]

Yes u r right😊

[@im00n.83]

All this to know that u just got to look the god damn ingredients..

[@KaluArt]

NOUVELLE FROONCE. They could be lying to you you dymbass

[@im00n.83]

kay Art Lol , of curse they put , did you think its all natural ?

[@user-bn3dz3kl4y]

could be

[@BlightfulProductions]

kay Art or the company is actually based in a different area where tax laws and government are different, and do these things legal in one place and do it illegally in the other.

[@FruitsOfTheHearts]

No, the FDA will tear you apart if you put lies on your ingredients and get reported. Could be millions of dollars in lawsuits. I think only 3rd world countries can get away with it. Also, tax evasion and false advertisement of ingredients are two different things. There are politics involved for tax evasion, but if you get sued for falsely advertising ingredients, people (as in individuals) can sue a company for that. By the way, calling someone names while not spelling correctly takes away any credibility you might have. Try to argue opinions / beliefs in a more sophisticated way and behave more politely. Thanks.

[@deepsea5348]

My grandparents have some beehives, and they give my mom some of their harvest a lot, and MY GOD, that stuff is liquid gold. I can't even eat store-bought honey, that shit is so nasty in comparison and it burns my throat.

[@theelfdruid8325]

Someone gets it! My mother has beehives, and although she lost all but one hive this year, there's nothing comparable to real honey. I've never had store bought honey, but the real stuff is just... perfect. No artificial feeding or anything done to the bees. She makes herbal remedies with it as well. I've been lucky to get honey from her.

[@syedjunaidahmed4555]

Raw honey which is directly squeezed from the bee hives are not supposed to be more thick! It could also be as thin like water or oil, because the colour, taste and density of the raw honey is purely dependent on the type of flowers from which the honey bees get the nectar. And, do also colour, taste, state and density of the raw honey changes on shelves due to it's reaction of pollen grains and bee's wax with the environmental moisture content.

[@sarhalianvlog9261]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqW4pYiQfdWDgKc

[@rajvantkaur2200]

Thanks it really helped ... I just broke a hive and bees left thier remarks on me ....the honey texture is thin like oil and Google said thin is fake ...I was earlier wondering bees make fake honey hives too...or these bees may be gay that's why I got thin honey ...but your comment really helped 🤗

[@vinayakyaligar1443]

Yes I read this in Karvalo Kannada novel

[@lolermosskoss1834]

Strange, the honey I got from my landlord crystallized and was in between solid and liquid. Even the honey from a friend‘s neighbor was EXTREMELY viscus. Btw chemicals are probably not available for them

[@Travel_With_Me-gr5ur]

This comment makes more sense than any other videos posted on this topic..

[@howtopasstime]

Ive never had honey that drips, when i pour honey i feel like it takes years until it stops falling lol

[@Zooey28]

Throughout the video, I was thinking how much honey they are wasting.

[@k3rc4]

I honestly don't understand why so many different categories in this video, the easiest to notice is consistency- you see the real deal once and you could never mistake the fake one for the real deal.

[@zainua3638]

Only way to get real honey, cultivate your own beehive.

[@ethelkaye9731]

Plus the taste. I always complain how real honey tastes almost ‘stingy’ if that makes sense like spices were in it. Fake honey just tastes like dissolved sugar.

[@robertoseaturdl6104]

Agreed, yes I understand what you mean. Sadly like oils they can dilute and scam those who are very knowledgeable

[@silvercrow1033]

Yes! I knew I wasn't the only one who tasted that. It has a warming sensation but doesn't hurt. Like it's hot but not.

[@AhmadFauzi-pd2tb]

Pure honey: it's expensive Scammers: it's free real estate

[@monalidash2294]

Another trick is if you add a drop of honey on a piece of paper, the fake one will sip in where as the natural one will not

[@erlan5270]

Today they can make pure honey with less quality...just by feeding bee's with sugar

[@syedjunaidahmed4555]

That's the reason one should avoid farm honey from bee keepers and buy raw honey which is squeezed from natural hives from bee hunters 🤞

[@bounchofbeaners]

or buy local wildflower honey.

[@Melalunga]

Easiest way: spread a drop of honey on newspaper. If it doesn’t penetrate to the back side, it’s real!

[@Dr..T]

In this era of greedy businesses, His probably comparing which jar has less additives than the other. Pure honey, Such a rare commodity.

[@RayMak]

Thank you for making this video

[@Drax4]

BOT lmao

[@kundakamat5571]

Ray mak wth are you doing here

[@kundakamat5571]

Bruh how are you in this video too

[@kundakamat5571]

Oh man this dude is time travelling

[@kundakamat5571]

Oh my

[@hahahahaha6509]

Idk why but I noticed that when I leave a jar of pure honey open, it doesn't attract ants AT ALL. Someone told me that if your honey attracts ants, it's usually already mixed with sweeteners.

[@shahnewazmanto4798]

So I have to buy 2 jars of honey, 1 is real the other 1 is fake. Seriously?

[@Tha_AntiChrist]

You don’t have to buy 2 honeys you just have to compare you’re one honey against this video and see which one your honey more resembles.

[@Dumb-Comment]

Honey I bought months ago started to crystallize, now I know that it's real honey

[@alfredomeister9817]

Why am I watching this at 3 o'clock in the morning?. I have a test tomorrow. Don't ask me.

[@adase324]

I've gone out of my way and drove to a local bee farmer. Worth every penny to support and taste the real thing.

[@980a1]

Theres a fun way to tell if the honey is pure you dip a match tip and then light it up and if its pure it should light up like if it wasn't there if its not pure the match wont light up

[@happydanna6998]

thank u for the tips!

[@xflavor4137]

oof, especially the first tip never knew that.

[@themogul5442]

Bring the honey to your house. if your wife gets mad, it's a fake honey

[@eminempreg]

my brother once bought sugar free artificial honey and honestly I felt so disgusted seeing that

[@mariamatias5801]

Instructions are unclear: I am now banned from all grocery stores within a 50 mile radius

[@stellssss]

Another thing is that pure honey doesn’t freeze into ice but the fake one freezes

[@irenen9]

why do you need to put sweeteners in honey,,, it's already one of the sweetest things out there

[@CFKane-gf2jf]

Uhhh thank you, KZbin, for recommending a honey video when I have never watched a honey video ever

[@cookingteriyaki2212]

[@miserable6339]

In Georgia we all have our beehives & we always get our own honey. & it's pure & new & fresh always.

[@peaceinvalleygreenhouse6915]

How do you know if its real honey if you dont know the beekeeper??? As a master beekeeper of many years i find this all humorous!!!

[@mr.cosmos5199]

What happens if I have just a single bottle of honey and wondering if it’s genuine stuff?

[@stepheninczech]

That just looks like honey you watered down to make it less viscous. I've never seen any cheap honey at the store flow as easily as the fake honey presented. I question this.

[@AhmedAbdullah-me5xb]

[@methicality]

*None of the honey jars or Honey were harmed in the making of this video*

[@cortster12]

This explains why I've never liked honey: I never had the real thing and only the sweetened garbage.

[@ingridferg9779]

Taste it. I can tell when honey has corn or golden syrup added. But we buy from local hives anyway.

[@thetwistedsamurai]

That's the only thing I hate about real honey. I buy large jars of it and over time it gets thicker and thicker to where at a certain point when you pour it it takes 1-2 minutes to actually get to the edge of the jar! But I'd never buy fake.

[@dumbopinion61]

Oh, I love when it turns thick! Sure is a hassle to get out though.

[@thetwistedsamurai]

It's SO delicious, don't get me wrong. But yeah, the hassle is real.

[@treeaboo]

If you are getting it in a glass jar, you can just heat it up a little and it will soften again.

[@thetwistedsamurai]

Microwaving it or boiling the jar in hot water?

[@zeroinfinity9189]

That's what spoons and wooden honey dippers are made for...

[@kidzluvcatsxd6280]

If you put cold water and the honey in a flat plate and begin to shake it slowly the Real honey remembers the genetic comb and you can see the comb on the honey

[@Starlight2097]

Fun fact: it doesn’t matter what’s in the honey. For the most part all sugars are equally detrimental to health in high amounts and honey is also full of fructose!

[@suzilici]

It sure as hell matters. You cannot even begin to compare sugar which is highly processed with fructose in the fruits which get processed by the body slower than sugar. We've been lied to about this topic as well as most other topics. Document yourself on this and you will see what I mean. They want us dead so the only way from keeping us from finding the truth is to make us swim in a sea of lies and misinformation where it is very difficult to distinguish between truth and lies. This is done on purpose. Time for us to wake up

[@indigo2365]

A tip from me as well: put hoeny on a sheet of paper like smear it on the surface and than burn the paper. Real honey doesn't burn and the place were honey was put on won't be burnt. But if it's fake it will burn with the paper

[@deepfriedbaby3587]

I don't think people would buy two different brands of honey and compare them like this

We own a bee farm. Currently summer that means we extract the honey from the hives frames. After that we filter it. God my parents do so much.

[@phantomflames5063]

One thing I discovered about know whether honey is fake or not. The pure honey , is darker in color , while the fake honey is lighter in color. Pure honey , *NEVER* freezes.

[@jarryvidal269]

Smell is the simplest test.

[@Emsyaz]

True. Real honey has that natural fermentation smell. Fake or adulterated honey has that disgusting synthetic sugar syrup smell.

[@amrutpat12]

Easy tip : after sometime real pure honey starts to crystallize ..whereas the fake ones maintain their fluidity

[@QUINTUSMAXIMUS]

The fact that people sell fake honey sucks. I had no idea for many years until maybe in 2013. Now, I never buy store bought honey.

[@mmk2719]

Pure raw honey will crystallize after a certain time as it is cold extracted (not heated) while commercial honey is heated to get rid of all the remnants of beeswax and any impurities. Heat treating the honey also helps keep the honey clear which makes it sell better due to the nicer appearance. Although this is not necessarily a good thing as pasteurising the honey takes away all the nutrients and essentially makes it just liquid sugar.

[@maduuu]

As you can see. different flowers, different characteristics too..

[@jeremiepascalakajeremeier5492]

[@unknown-je5oh]

Honey is the only food the cannot remake. So not fake, but added things i geuss.

what is that

[@carlosesquivel1314]

and Pure Honey dont attract ANTS

[@eksine]
