What makes Manuka Honey different from other honey?
You won’t find authentic Manuka Honey anywhere in the whole world but its home in New Zealand. Manuka Honey is made from bees that feed on the unique nectar produced by the manuka flowers. These flowers are native to New Zealand.
The biggest difference that makes Manuka Honey stand out from the other honeys are the unique compounds that it contains. While other honeys contain sugar, amino acids, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, Manuka Honey contains methylglyoxal (MGO) and dihydroxyacetone (DHA). The higher the concentration of MGO and DHA, the purer and better the benefits of consuming Manuka Honey.
