- 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!
Pure honey never expires
RockstarTEENS Gaming True!
It will expired in 3000 yrs smh
Hensh a
No u can eat 4000 yr old honey
Bluemon okay then, it will expired in 10k years
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.

After doing all these test my honey bottle will get empty ..😂
eternal cooking ITS A TRICK TO MAKE YOU BUY MORE HONEY!! 😂😂😂
#stophoneyabuse
Yes😂
You make me to laugh. Thank you bro
🤣👌
You can tell by color,taste and real honey doesn't expire.
honey's colors varies cause there are many honey varieties
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 )
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!
Laurie Tijerina amen to that and it's healthy for you. I eat saltine crackers and pure honey everyday and drop pounds like crazy
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
The fact that fake honey even exists makes my jimmies rustled
Denise Thasder it’s basically a make up for lacking honey
Tbf. Its existence can be justified. *If* it tastes like the real stuff. In my case, the real stuff being raw. And i can't consume honey raw or without the bacteria (cooking it in baked goods kills off any bacteria because of high heat) without severe agonising pain. Basically lactose intolerant person drinking milk, where the pain is basically only in the stomach without the gas. On heroin.
@@Milkpastasoup what?
@@Milkpastasoup I thought raw honey had antibacterial properties???
Everything fake exists
this is gonna all be awkward to do at the grocery store, but I refuse to be swindled!
You literally just have to look at the ingredients
@My Opinion This made laugh! I needed to laugh today, thank you.
@PureCapsaicin girl it’s just honey lmao
🤣🤣🤣

This video seems legit to me other than any videos about that.
Lol I'm thinking first reply
Third reply
I’m the 666 like
Some feedback, after trying your suggested "pure honey" tests at the local supermarket 77 days ago, I have finally been released from prison after I was sentenced to 90 days for food tampering and am now back at home.
At least on the inside the honey was free !
Every cloud has a silver lining and in some jails the honey is free

These all work when you have two jars, and you're sure one is real, it's easy to compare the results.. but when having only one you're unsure about, it's hard to decide
One of my neighbour has lots of bees, and he sells a lot of honey. I always buy from him, because what he gives me is real, natural honey, unlike what you can find in the store.
I just brought some honey at a festival, from a local bee person, here in Seneca SC, Beeline, is the name, and i tested it at home after paying $16 for a jar, just to find out it was fake or completely processed out, or maybe diluted. Beware of even people that have a following and have bees, consumers don't realize what their eating.
Did you get your money back? I would have made a freaking STINK.
@@rxonmymind8362I bought one from a bee keeper and it was the worst honey I ever tasted it 😮 fully processed and I need it for my health to be pure 😢
Almost everyone has joined the government’s scam business! Government poisons our air, water and food daily, and vaccines are poison so what’s new?
Thank God. I was about to throw away a bottle of honey thinking it's fake. Just now went through this video to check if its real. It passed all the tests.
Too bad you have none left anymore tho
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.
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.
Make sure to check the ingredients. Real honey only had one ingredients. Honey!
All this to know that u just got to look the god damn ingredients..
NOUVELLE FROONCE. They could be lying to you you dymbass
kay Art Lol , of curse they put , did you think its all natural ?
could be
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.
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.
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.
czcams.com/video/0tUtUZHpPJE/video.html
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 🤗
Yes I read this in Karvalo Kannada novel
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
This comment makes more sense than any other videos posted on this topic..
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.
Yes u r right😊
So I have to buy 2 jars of honey, 1 is real the other 1 is fake. Seriously?
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.
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!!
Way to solve it: divorce her
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!
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.
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.
Throughout the video, I was thinking how much honey they are wasting.
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.
whenever my mother buys honey, she cant stand fake honey so she always goes to a specific shop to buy manuka honey which is usually around $50 but sometimes she has some trouble distinguishing real vs fake honey so this video really helped! thanks!
You can easily see the difference with a match stick
You can never know without Labaravatory test results find out C4 sugars inside , proline and diastase levels and much more tests need to be done . Except real honey crystlaze you can only withness this without lab test . I can definetely say anything you buy from super markets are not honey at all . Bees never makes tones of honey .
I feel like experimenting whether it's real or not will finish the whole jar and I won't have anything left.
Lol true
Ive never had honey that drips, when i pour honey i feel like it takes years until it stops falling lol
thanks god my honey is pure I bought it from the natives who lives in the mountain
I bought pure mountain honey ( the label said so) last year and it was expensive and fake and was made/mixed with syrup and molasses.
Lol
J & B Homeliving they can do whatever they want to their labels so you can not always trust the labels
If they lie about the labels, they will be sued big time so I'm sure it's legit
Bet it tastes delightful!
i dont know why people make these videos ....but man i thank you i love honey .and have been getting screwed ...thank you thank you
Richard Melton kiko👨👍📬
me too lol
Screwed out of what, a few enzymes you don't actually require? We eat honey for flavor. If you have a medical need for certain nutrition you can get it in proper doses from other products.
Could you imagine walking to the market and seeing someone flip the honey,pouring it in water and putting sticks into in?
One way to tell is the ingredients!
Pure honey: it's expensive
Scammers: it's free real estate
If you want a real benefit of honey, consume raw honey. That is the honey our prophets and ancestor consume and told us to do the same.
All branded honey you buy in supermarket are not raw no matter what the label says.
Raw honey are foamy, more watery, looks muddy, and contains gas. It doesn't look beautiful as commercial honey, also the gas from enzyme make it impossible to stored in bottle to be sell in the market. So they heat the honey to kill all the enzyme and make it thicker, ultrafilration to make the honey looks clear and beautiful. So they basically remove the powerful content of honey and it become sugar in the bottle.
All of this test are bullshit, i get my raw honey from my friend who harvest the honey directly in the jungle.
Forget about all those stupid myths telling you ants dont like honey, honey wont mix with water easily, out it in freezer etc. Raw honey are more watery, it will freeze, ants will eat it (ants dont like processed honey because its to thick for them), and it mix easily with water.
I think those test and myth are made by honey company to kill the local beekeeper who actually sell an original healthy raw honey
Glad that I live in the Malay Archipelago.
Forest honey is plenty in the jungle but harvesting it is very hard because these wild bees always build hives on the tallest trees.
@@Emsyaz and i live in Kalimantan, honey everywhere 😋
@@Bumiround Kalimantan is part of Malay Archipelago
I did all these tests and by the time I was satisfied that my honey was real No honey left😭
Real honey is flammable...
So basically if you want to know if its real honey you set it on fire
Riatsu Sean Schniry that’s a story of how I accidentally set my local Walmart on fire
Jesus Christ, Did you get arrested for arson?
Da Qiao & Xiao Qiao they didn’t catch me yet
JellyTheHetaliaFetus yes officer this comment right here.
p̸u̸s̸s̸y̸ s̸l̸a̸y̸e̸r̸ 9000/ skinny gay asian guy is godly well shit
Now how do you expect me to do this all at the grocery store.
no at home
just turn the jar upside down
read the label
you dont have to do it at all.. just get it lab tested.. if its fake honey sue the company to the ground and get a big check!
....It's considered real genuine honey if its directly from the nest but that honey ain't necessarily made up entirely of nectar from flowers . Bees will happily collect sucrose water presented to them . Beekeepers do feed their bees with sugar water.
That looks so weird. I've never seen honey like that. I didn't know "fake' honey existed..
Eross Van Leer ...Now check your " olive oil "....same situation ....80% of what's sold in markets is FAKE.....! Even most top Italian ones...!
It's 'fake' per se. It just has honey with added ingredients and sweeteners while real honey has no added stuff
It depends where you are, America has a ridiculous amount of 'fake' honey, whereas in Europe and Britain it has to be 100% honey.
Eross Van Leer my teacher at school told us about fake honey over 50years ago. She said look at all the shops and supermarkets around the world selling honey. She said that there are not enough bees in the world for it all to be genuine. I believe that it counts as real honey even when the bees are fed sugar water which many beekeepers do in winter.
And to JenModding yes there is fake honey in the UK lots of it.
In our country they will use sugarcane molasses which has the same darker colour plus the heavey testure they will add some amount of honey to give the characteristic taste. The only differene may be the honey taste or chemical analysis.
Real honey crystalizes over time, and doesn't expire
Sugar doesn't, but honey's enzymes have a short half life, roughly 1000 days @ 69F and seconds @120+ .... So technically it expires pretty quick, at least the actually healthy part.
@nika kovacrvic Sugar doesn't, but honey's enzymes have a short half life, roughly 1000 days @ 69F and seconds @120+ .... So technically it expires pretty quick, at least the actually healthy part.
Only way to get real honey, cultivate your own beehive.
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.
Agreed, yes I understand what you mean.
Sadly like oils they can dilute and scam those who are very knowledgeable
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.
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
Thank you for making this video
BOT lmao
Ray mak wth are you doing here
Bruh how are you in this video too
Oh man this dude is time travelling
Oh my
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.
Me being dragged out of Wal-Mart by security: WAIT I NEED TO CHECK IF MY HONEY IS REAL OR FAKE!!
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
Its depends on the quality.
Litchi flower honey bahave same like your fake honey. But its more delicious than any others
You are right, the colour, taste and density of honey is only dependent on the type of flowers from which the honey bees get the nectar!
thank u for the tips!
oof, especially the first tip never knew that.
Today they can make pure honey with less quality...just by feeding bee's with sugar
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 🤞
or buy local wildflower honey.
In this era of greedy businesses, His probably comparing which jar has less additives than the other. Pure honey, Such a rare commodity.
Most of these tests seems to be made for very liquid honey. Depending on the type of honey (orange flower, eucalyptus, etc) the honey can turn more solid
If it turns solid it's a sign that it's pure honey. Pure honey crystallizes with time (sadly).
@@fenrirgg maybe its added sugar is why crystallized how do we know? And how to know whether the beekeeper fed sugar to bees?
I've gone out of my way and drove to a local bee farmer. Worth every penny to support and taste the real thing.
check ingredient on label?
Some ingredient does not have to be listed for starters and others do no not have to be listed if they are lower than a 1/2 %.
Easiest way: spread a drop of honey on newspaper. If it doesn’t penetrate to the back side, it’s real!
The 3 rd method can be done at the store if it's a transparent bottle 👍
What happens if I have just a single bottle of honey and wondering if it’s genuine stuff?
Why am I watching this at 3 o'clock in the morning?. I have a test tomorrow. Don't ask me.
I can tell because if you leave it out for a few days/weeks the sweetener will absorb the honey.
My patanjali honey deteriorated but honey from my farm still well preserved.
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!
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
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.
Honey I bought months ago started to crystallize, now I know that it's real honey
Ingredients had me I said ok that’s enough all I need to look for is one word *honey*
Producers of honey do not necessarily have to include the additives. Look up the laws. Reading the label is not full proof.
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!!!
just ask the vendor you got it from if he uses fake bees
In Georgia we all have our beehives & we always get our own honey. & it's pure & new & fresh always.
The pouring thing is a little bullshitty. The speed of which the honey drops can depends on many factors, like temperature, species of bee, types of flowers in the area, etc.
my brother once bought sugar free artificial honey and honestly I felt so disgusted seeing that
I'm so upset, I thought I was eating a real honey. I usually buy it from local stores and it was kind of expensive too. I use the honey for my sandwich with ham, cabbage and tomatoes. I even told my friends to try it because its worth.
why do you need to put sweeteners in honey,,, it's already one of the sweetest things out there
Instructions are unclear: I am now banned from all grocery stores within a 50 mile radius
Pure honey say Yes when she feels good.
You know honey never expires it turns into these little sugar things and if you microwave it for a couple seconds you'll get warm honey
Worst idea I've heard ever. How can you tell people to microwave honey? You destroy all the good properties that honey has. As a matter of fact, microwaving any type of food is a bad bad idea.
Don't worry honey lovers, it takes forever for pure honey to expire
me: *reads the title* lmao i don't care
me, two milliseconds later:
Unfortunately, you can only do these tests if you already bought the honey.
TBH I didn’t think I’ve ever had fake honey before. But I’ve tried fresh pure honey and it was honestly better than bacon.
I just bought a honey, its cheap one as I have not much option in the grocery due to panic buying. I saw this video and I'll try to test my honey
*Bought one spoon of honey, done the test , the honey was real* Now, I don't have honey to eat
What do bees style their hair with?
Answer: Honey combs
i thought they were bald!
This makes me want to go do these tests myself
How could honey be so interesting?
Did U Do That?
When he upside the container, I love the true honeyfall🤩🥰💕.. It's feel soothing
And im here waiting for you to say since the beginning that pure honey is darker. 😖
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.
dislikes from people who brought fake honey... thinking its pure 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Never buying pasteurized honey. Unpasteurized or raw honey is the way to go. Wild Flower & Clover honey tastes so good.
Cost doesn't always mean its fake, of you're in the UK, Lidls white label honey costs about £1 for 340g and it is pure honey
Another thing is that pure honey doesn’t freeze into ice but the fake one freezes
I don't know where to buy pure honey in my country ( indonesia ) 😟

This does not help people do anything but determine if one has more corn syrup than the other. There is no way to measure the degree of added corn syrup to it. The real thing could have some corn syrup in it too.
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.
Oh, I love when it turns thick! Sure is a hassle to get out though.
It's SO delicious, don't get me wrong. But yeah, the hassle is real.
If you are getting it in a glass jar, you can just heat it up a little and it will soften again.
Microwaving it or boiling the jar in hot water?
That's what spoons and wooden honey dippers are made for...
Who'd waste honey (in water) just to tell the difference...
When I went India, I was able to get real honey from a hive but it was runny. Why was that? Not prepared enough by the bees?
Btw I didn't open the hive, it was literally leaking the stuff.
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
Why is this so satisfying?
If you think I’m wasting all of my honey to pour in a glass of 70°F water then you’re totally right!
qwert yuiop just check labels
Anatashia Nguyen It was intended as sarcasm honey. (Pun intended)
qwert yuiop lmao
ill just snatch the honeycombs in my yard then hopefully not get in trouble
*BAM! PUREST HONEY IN THE WORLD*
I wasted all my honey trying to determine if it was real or not through this 5 step process... Now I gotta buy another jar and repeat the process. Thanks.
Might be a stupid question but am just starting out on a more natural diet. Is runny honey fake because it's runny? I buy it for convenience with our kids. I did the drip tests and it passed.
Nikki Nikki its fake because it has added ingredients that are not natural at all you get what you pay for so go with the expensive one.
Runny honey can still be pure honey. Depends on the season or the type of bees. Summer season honey tends to be thicker between 17-19% moisture content while rainy season honey tends to be around 19-22% moisture. Buy from a local beekeeper to be sure.
I agree that some honey is runnier than other honey. It depends on the type. Clover, buckwheat, tree necter, flowering trees, pine sap(bees do eat it in the beginning of the year). Temperature is also a big factor, hotter honey runs quick. Like the other commenter mentioned, humidity also plays a big factor.
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
good video
Get your info somewhere else, most of this is not true.
After Ich did this I have no honey anymore😔
