Define honey. There are various types of honey, and I read the other day that honey from China is not 100% honey but is essentially something else which also contains honey.
Most supermarket honey, China or not, is HFCS + honey.
A beekeeper told me that the biggest indicator of real honey is that it solidifies with time. Because of that, it’s usually sold in glass containers so that you can heat it up to re-liquify it.
Even among 100% real honey, the ratios of sucrose, glucose and fructose vary wildly. At the extremes tupelo honey is very high fructose, and thus is famous for not crystallizing easily. On the other hand, canola/rapeseed swings so far the other way that it can crystalize in the comb before harvesting.
