Manuka honey is often referred to as the "gold standard" of honey due to its unique properties, such as its high antibacterial activity and antioxidant content. Manuka honey is made by bees that feed on the nectar of the Manuka bush, which contains high levels of a compound called methylglyoxal (MGO).

MGO is believed to be responsible for many of the health benefits associated with Manuka honey, such as its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties. While other types of honey also have health benefits, Manuka honey's unique properties and potency make it stand out as a top choice for those seeking the potential health benefits of honey

Manuka honey is also tested and rated for its potency of MGO and other compounds in the honey. The higher the MGO rating, the more potent the Manuka honey is going to be. We recommend MGO 200+ or higher for medicinal and health purposes. Manuka Honey of any potency can be used in place of honey in most of your favorite recipes!
