Fake honey
Artificial varieties of honey are made of sugar syrup that tastes similar to real honey, but it is actually a tasty illusion and far less nutritionally valuable. Fake honey is commercially processed to the extreme—heated to high temperatures, which destroys the wealth of nutrients it had when fresh out of the hive.
After the heat blast, it’s diluted with water (it’s cheaper for producers this way) and then sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup, dextrose and molasses to make it more like natural honey. Even the valuable pollen (that real honey is naturally blessed with), is removed through the fake honey production process, resulting in further loss of nutritional goodness.
Also, if you see honeys with flavors then make sure that they are not mixed with “natural” essential oils. For example, we use freeze-dried berries and plants from the nature.
Do you really want this diluted, unhealthy and nutritionless processed sugar-syrup mix?

Fake honey:
- May have written on the label some kind of syrup as an ingredient.
- Is runny – starts dripping faster and quickly spreads on a piece of paper.
- Absorbs or leaves a wet mark on blotting paper.
- Dissolves in water quickly.
- In contact with fire, makes a cracking sound or hiss straight away as wet materials, instead of melting.
