What's the main difference between Manuka honey and bee honey? My daughter's favourite honey is Manuka. My wife and daughter always say "Manuka honey is the best."My daughter almost every day use Manuka honey whereas I use other honey.
A dumb question. Is manuka honey sourced from all over NZ or predominantly one area?
From DOC: "Manuka is common throughout the North, South and Stewart Islands in lowland to low alpine regions up to 1800 m above sea level. It can be found in many different habitats including wetlands, river gravels and dry hillsides.
It is a very potent honey, with lots of health benefits. Hence why the Australians have taken the name for their "jellybush" honey...
To be fair - the Australian Manuka Plant (Leptospermum scoparium) is the same plant with exactly the same active ingredients as our NZ Manuka Plant (Leptospermum scoparium), i.e. assuming Manuka has some health benefits, than the Australian Manuka honey won't be different to ours.
The discussion is just whether the Australians are allowed to use the word "Manuka" (which is a Maori word) when they sell their honey. Its sort like selling Champagne made in NZ - it might well be the same grape and process, but is is made somewhere different.
Not all Manuka Honey is born equal
"Low to mid grades of UMF 10 to UMF 15 are called Therapeutic Grade (good for short term consumption). Lower UMF ratings means less MGO, less MGO means less antibacterial benefits. Generally, higher grade UMF 15+ or UMF 20+ manuka honeys are more effective at killing active bacterial infections."
