Roskachestvo talked about the rules for choosing real honey

When choosing honey, its color should be taken into account, as it varies from variety to variety and has individual characteristics. This was reported on April 5 in the press service of Roskachestvo.

"When choosing honey in a store, first of all, you should pay attention to the color of the products - each variety has its own color. So, floral honey, as a rule, has a light yellow color, lime - amber, buckwheat — closer to brown," RIA Novosti reports.

It was specified that natural honey should be transparent before candying, without turbidity and sediment, if the honey is from last year and candied, this is normal. To check the quality of liquid honey, experts recommend twirling the jar — the contents should be viscous and flow smoothly.

It is also important to pay attention to the year of collection, the date of packaging and the presence of the Russian "Quality Mark", which guarantees compliance with Roskachestvo standards.

It was noted that when tasting good honey, it does not have a caramel or sour taste, a slight bitterness in buckwheat or chestnut is acceptable. It is recommended to store honey in a dark, cool place at temperatures up to 20 degrees — in a regular jar for up to a year, in an airtight jar for up to two years.
