Al-Marsad Newspaper: An expert in the field of honey, Muhammad Al-Amiri, revealed ways to differentiate between original and adulterated honey.
Al-Amiri said during his appearance on the “Al-Resalah” channel, that the original honey is known for its smart smell, with a focus on the color, as its color indicates that it is old and not Sidr honey – as some claim – because the latter is light yellow.
And the expert in the field of honey continued, that honey is very sensitive and affected by light and heat, thus it becomes black in color, and its taste changes to sour or bitter taste, so it is preferable to taste honey several times to identify its type.
Al-Amiri stressed the importance of the viscosity of honey because it may be natural, but its viscosity is mild, and therefore the therapeutic substance is reduced as a result of the speed of its extraction from the apiaries.
He added that heavy honey is distinguished in the treatment of drawing moisture from wounds and getting rid of dampness and poisoning.
