The festival of Diwali is full of sweetness and happiness. People feed sweets to each other. But in this happy festival, some people add poison through their actions and this poison shows effect on the health of the people.
In fact, half of the sweets sold in the market during Diwali are fake and adulterated. At some places lime is mixed in them and at some places they are prepared by adding chemicals and people’s health is played with. During the festive season, news of adulteration is shown in newspapers and news every day. In such a situation, you should be alert while taking sweets. Before going to buy sweets, you should also know the difference between real and fake sweets so that you too do not get cheated by going to the market and do not bring home fake and adulterated sweets.
How to identify real and fake sweets?
All the sweets sold in the market look real and tasty from outside. It is a little difficult to identify them at a glance. In such a situation you can use this method. Most of the sweets on Diwali are made from khoya. To identify real or fake, you have to take hot water in a vessel and put sweets in it. If its color turns blue then understand that khoya is fake. Also, if it is soft when touched, then it is genuine, otherwise its rubbery appearance indicates that it is synthetic. Apart from this, you can also test it to identify real and fake. If it dissolves in the mouth after testing and its smell is like milk then it is real, otherwise khoya without smell is fake.
How to identify by looking at the shop?
It is difficult to tell whether a sweet is real or fake by looking at it. But there are definitely some ways by which they can be identified. If any sweet appears to be highly coloured, then try not to buy it because the synthetic colors added to it can be harmful to health. Fake sweets can also be identified by smelling them. If the sweet is made of palm oil or dalda then it will smell different. Also, while taking sweets, always take a small piece in your hand and try to crush it. If there is a lot of oil in it then understand that it is not made from ghee. Apart from this, while buying sweets, one should always taste them to see if there is any sourness or bitter taste in it.
