Honey is one of nature’s most powerful superfoods, packed with antioxidants, nutrients, and healing properties. But in today’s market, finding pure honey in India can be challenging. Many commercial brands sell adulterated honey mixed with sugar syrup, jaggery, glucose, or chemicals — making it hard for consumers to know what’s truly natural.
If you’re wondering how to test honey purity at home, this guide from Shafia India will help you spot the difference between pure honey and fake honey easily.
At Shafia Honey, we provide 100% natural, raw, and lab-tested honey sourced directly from India’s finest beekeepers — ensuring every drop you taste is pure and authentic.
Pure Honey:
Genuine honey has a natural floral sweetness that changes depending on the flower source — such as Sidr (Berry), Litchi, or Himalayan Multiflora. It also carries a warm, earthy aroma that feels soothing and natural.
Adulterated Honey:
Overly sweet, like sugar syrup, with little to no floral fragrance.
👉 When you buy natural honey online, check the aroma and subtle floral notes — it’s the easiest way to recognize purity.
Pure Natural Honey:
Thick, viscous, and flows slowly when poured. It forms a continuous thread without breaking — a sign of purity.
Fake Honey:
Watery or runny, as it’s often mixed with sugar syrup or corn syrup.
💡 Tip: Genuine raw honey will stick longer to the spoon and feel denser than adulterated honey.
