How to Find Pure Honey
- 1). Check out the health food shops and supermarkets in your area to see what honey they offer. Be aware that a label stating "pure honey" does not guarantee the product is 100 percent pure honey, only that pure honey is contained within. Go for the trusted brands, and if you suspect what you have is not 100 percent pure honey, test it by putting a spoonful in water. Pure honey needs agitation to mix with water, whereas adulterated honey blends very easily.

Buy comb honey, the most unprocessed and, therefore, the purest form of honey. Comb honey is taken directly from the hive with no more handling. This form of honey can be eaten like a candy bar, but it comes with a relatively high price tag. It is also the hardest form of honey to source, but you can be assured that comb honey is 100 percent pure honey without testing it. - 3). Go online if your local shops don't sell pure honey. Americanhoneydirect.com offers honey for sale, which it claims is natural raw honey: honey that has been produced by bees in the hive or extracted without the use of heat above 120 degrees. Beepurehoney.com supplies comb honey and raw honey, along with a series of adulterated honey. According to them, their honey is 100 percent pure so if you are not satisfied, you can get your money back.
