One thing I'd push back on is the "if it crystallizes, it's real honey" thing. I keep seeing that on TikTok, and it's just not how it works. Crystallization is about sugar composition and temperature, not quality or authenticity

Wait, what? I literally just did this test on a jar I bought 😭, so that whole thing is useless??

not completely useless, more like… oversimplified to the point of being misleading. can't use it as a certificate

The thing that actually helps if you want to be practical: can they trace the jar to a batch? "Lab tested" on a label means nothing if there's no batch number. labs test specific batches. if there's no batch, what did they actually test

okay, but who is literally emailing sellers before buying 😭 that feels like so much work
