Basic Introduction to Mangshan Honey

Mangshan is named after its vast forests and the presence of snakes.

. There are still 6000 hectares of pristine forests preserved to this day, which is a truly pollution-free human environment. Honey is collected here, green and pure natural. Honey is honey brewed by bees from the flowers of flowering plants in the honeycomb

It has the functions of moistening the lungs, relieving cough, nourishing the spleen and stomach, moistening the intestines and promoting bowel movements, relieving pain and detoxification. Oral administration can treat lung dryness, cough, sore throat, hoarseness, spleen and stomach weakness, abdominal weakness, intestinal dryness and constipation; External use can treat carbuncles, swelling and toxins, as well as water and fire burns. Honey contains a large amount of sugars, vitamins, and minerals. Due to its chemical structure, its minerals are easier to digest and absorb, which can reduce fatigue and improve sleep. In addition, honey can be used topically to treat burns, frostbite, sores, swelling, and toxins

How to distinguish the authenticity of Mangshan honey

(I) There is a layer of white fine foam on the surface of fresh pure honey, and no foam is false honey or high-temperature processing honey

(2) Put honey in the refrigerator and freeze it for a day. Real honey will not freeze, while fake honey will turn into ice cubes (become harder)

(3) Pour honey into the bottle, and when the thread breaks after stopping, if the round bead at the bottom of the thread bounces back into the honey bucket, it is true; if there is no elasticity, it is false. (Except for crystallized honey)

(4) Insert the red hot wire into the honey and quickly pull it back. If there is any sticky material on the wire, it is fake, and if it is clean, it is real

(V) Basically, all honey crystallizes, and the finer the crystals, the better the honey quality; The higher the concentration, the faster the crystallization. Some honey also crystallizes slowly, such as locust honey. If the honey cannot crystallize in winter, it is possible that preservatives or other chemicals have been added to the honey, causing it to differentiate into crystal nuclei (except for honey that is difficult to crystallize). No matter how many crystals there are or what color they are, inserting chopsticks into the crystals can move honey, and the texture is soft. If it cannot be moved, it is fake honey (at room temperature). Crystalline honey can be heated in warm water at around 40 degrees Celsius (separated from water) for half an hour. Honey can melt, while fake honey will not. In addition, twisting crystalline honey by hand can melt the honey, while fake honey cannot
