Manuka honey

Manuka honey is a type of honey produced by bees that collect nectar from the Manuka tree, native to New Zealand. It is known for its unique antimicrobial properties, which are attributed to compounds like methylglyoxal. This makes Manuka honey not only a sweetener but also valued for its potential health benefits, such as supporting wound healing and soothing sore throats. Its quality and strength are often measured by a rating called UMF (Unique Manuka Factor), which indicates the level of beneficial compounds present. Overall, Manuka honey is prized for its natural bioactive qualities and distinctive flavor.
