Manuka honey is a unique type of honey that’s produced only in New Zealand by European honey bees that pollinate the Manuka bush (Leptospermum scoparium). It’s considered by many experts to be one of the most beneficial forms of honey in the world. Kai Ora 200+ MGO Manuka Honey is uniquely harvested from the Far North's native and wild bush belonging to the Maori people of New Zealand. This area produces the highest and limited quality of Manuka honey in which all their honey is proudly harvested from. It has a rich, earthy flavor and is naturally sweet, plus it’s full of beneficial compounds, including methylglyoxal (MGO) that has been shown to have antibacterial activity. The higher the UMF or MGO number the Manuka has, the high levels of these protective compounds it has. Why is Manuka honey more expensive compared to regular honey? As a rule of thumb, you get what you pay for, and most honey products at conventional supermarkets are not much different from high fructose corn syrup. Manuka honey's higher concentrations of beneficial compound such as MGO, allows it to have antimicrobial effects that other honey's simply don't have.
