Honey Varieties Explained: How to Identify Pure and Raw Honey

Honey is often called “liquid gold”, but sadly, most honey in the market is adulterated with sugar syrups. Knowing how to identify pure and raw honey is essential for both taste and health.


Types of Honey

  1. Raw Honey – Directly collected from beehives, unheated, unprocessed

  2. Forest Honey – Collected from wild bees in forest regions

  3. Multiflora Honey – From multiple flower sources, rich in diverse nutrients

  4. Single-Origin Honey – From one floral source like mustard, neem, or eucalyptus

 

Benefits of Raw & Pure Honey

  • Natural immunity booster

  • Improves digestion

  • Works as an antioxidant & detoxifier

  • Healing properties for cough, cold, and wounds

How to Test Honey’s Purity at Home

  • Thumb Test – Drop honey on your thumb; pure honey doesn’t spread

  • Water Test – Pure honey settles at the bottom, adulterated dissolves quickly

  • Flame Test – Pure honey burns, sugar-mixed honey won’t
