Manuka Honey is a unique honey found in New Zealand and Australia. The Manuka tree (Leptospermum scoparium) flowers for only 2-6 weeks of the year making it an extremely rare honey to produce.
Traditional medicine has used Manuka Honey for hundreds of years on a broad range of ailments like immunity, digestion, skin care, and oral health. One of it's powerful properties is a anti-bacterial compound called Methylglyoxal (MGO) - which is said to be responsible for the honey's healing properties. The high content of MGO can only be consistently found in Manuka honey.
Manuka Honey, due to its popularity, has made a market of copycats that do not contain the real thing. A sure fire way to spot a fake is if the honey is not 100% completely sourced from New Zealand or Australia. Also research the company that sells it. An easy source is Down to Earth - we do not sell any Manuka Honey or products unless we know it's 100% legitimate.⠀ ⠀
One of our favorite brands is Manukora Honey. For over 20 years they have sourced honey from NZ's first beekeepers, who lovingly care for the bees in the best honey producing region of New Zealand, also known as the Golden Triangle. (What a name!) ⠀ ⠀
