What is New Zealand Mānuka Honey?

Also known as liquid gold around the world, New Zealand Mānuka honey is a precious superfood and medicinal honey that is native to New Zealand.

New Zealand is known the world over for its superior produce of honey that is collected in areas free of population density and pesticides, thanks to its stringent governmental laws on bee husbandry and apicultural methodology.

A small window of 6 weeks in the spring is when New Zealand Mānuka honey is actually produced by honeybees that specifically pollinate the magical flower of the Mānuka tree or Leptospermum scoparium.  

Challenging to harvest and available in limited quantities, New Zealand Mānuka honey is treasured because of its immense antibacterial, antiviral and antioxidant properties that are far stronger and more potent than regular honey. The rest of the year is spent curating, packaging, and sharing this liquid gold with the world.

  • Drizzle it on fruit or atop a slice of toast. 
  • Mix it in your post-workout smoothie or cuppa
  • Give any dessert a healthy touch
  • Ideal for face masks and wellness tonics

Ideally, you should consume two teaspoon a day.

New Zealand Mānuka honey is not suitable for infants from 0 - 12 months of age, people with blood-sugar control disorders, and those with a honey allergy.

Monofloral honey is derived primarily from the nectar of a single type of flower, giving it distinct flavors and characteristics specific to that flower. This type of honey often showcases the unique qualities of the plant it comes from, such as New Zealand Mānuka honey, which is made from the nectar of the Mānuka tree.

Multifloral honey, on the other hand, is produced from the nectar of multiple flower sources. This results in a more complex flavor profile, as it captures the essence of various blossoms. Multifloral honey can vary in taste, color, and aroma depending on the flowers available to the bees during the honey-making process.

Yes, Mānuka honey is naturally gluten-free. It is derived from the nectar of the Mānuka tree and does not contain any gluten-containing ingredients.

Yes, New Zealand Mānuka honey is considered vegetarian as it is produced by bees from the nectar of flowers. Since it does not involve the slaughter of animals, it is suitable for vegetarians. However, it is not vegan, as it is an animal product.

Unlike regular honey, New Zealand Mānuka honey is derived specifically from the bees that feed on the flower of the manuka tree for only 6 weeks in the whole year. It is darker, stickier, YUMMIER, and contains leptosperin, DHA and methylglyoxal (MGO) that give it more potent antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties than regular honey.  Simply put, it is the super honey out of all honeys available.

Unlike regular honey, New Zealand Mānuka honey is derived from the flowers of theLeptospermum Scopariumtree. These trees are only grown and found in New Zealand, producing a limited crop – approximately only 6 weeks a year. It takes a great deal of skill to cultivate the sensitive Mānuka tree, which grows at high altitudes and requires helicopters to harvest its honey. Known for its medicinal properties, New Zealand Mānuka honey contains unique antibacterial compounds that support wound healing and digestive health.

UMF is a global standard grading and rating system used by the New Zealand government to endorse, verify, and recognise the quality and purity of New Zealand Mānuka Honey and its health benefits. Lab-tested ratings measure the amount of methylglyoxal (MGO) in the honey. The higher the rating, the purer the quality and the stronger the antibacterial properties. It is recommended to invest in honey endorsed by UMF.
