What is Manuka Honey?

December, 2021

Manuka honey is a unique honey made by honey bees from the nectar of the New Zealand Manuka tree. The special qualities of Manuka honey come from the Manuka flower nectar.

International scientific research has shown Manuka honey has remarkable qualities that set it apart from other honeys. Manuka honey is only made in New Zealand and only during a few weeks every summer when the Manuka is in flower.  

To capture the nectar flow the beehives must be placed in the wild remote Manuka areas at just the right time, and conditions have to be just right – strong winds will blow the flowers from the plants, while rain keeps the bees from venturing out of their hives. Making Manuka honey is a lot more challenging than common honeys like Clover which grows all year round in backyards everywhere! 

MANUKA HONEY BENEFITS

Manuka honey is a complex honey that goes far beyond a simple table honey. 

Manuka honey has been the focus of extensive scientific research evidencing remarkable natural qualities that set it apart from other honeys. 

Look for MGO or UMF certification on the label to help select the right grade for your needs. The higher the number the higher the MGO potency (MGO is what makes Manuka honey so special). READ MORE ABOUT MGO
