How to Check the Purity of Honey at Home :

Most producers will dilute nectar-made honey with molasses and sugar syrup in order to boost their profits. To boost the thickness of the honey, some will add to it flour, sand, sawdust or even ground chalk. This is very dangerous if you buy your honey from untrusted sources!  In order to check the purity of honey at home, here’s what to do:   1. Thumb Test  Put a small drop of the honey you have on your thumb  Check to see if it spills or spreads around  If it does, it is not pure  Pure honey will stay intact on your thumb   2.
