Tip to check honey quality with flour

If you're unsure about the quality of the honey you've just bought, here's a simple way to check using flour:

Sprinkle a little flour onto a spoonful of honey.

Wait a moment and observe the result.

• If the flour sinks into the honey, it may indicate that the honey contains a lot of sugar, which could mean it's adulterated or fake.
• If the flour remains on the surface of the honey, it suggests the honey is pure, with little added sugar, and of better quality.
