What makes honey “Manuka Honey”?
Honeybees make Manuka honey in just the same way they make regular honey. The bees gather nectar from flowers and transform that nectar into honey within the hive. The difference with Manuka honey is in the nectar itself.
Manuka honey is made from the flowers of the manuka bush, a hardy Australian native species found across much of Australia. Australia has over 80 species of manuka plant, scientifically known as the Leptospermum genus. Manuka honey has long been known for its health and healing benefits, but it was research was carried out in the 1980s that identified the components that make Manuka honey special.
Ongoing research has identified 12 species of Leptospermum that have the requisite bioactive properties to create active Manuka honey. The bioactive species of Leptospermum naturally produce dihydroxyacetone (DHA), which is present in the nectar. The DHA transforms over time into methylglyoxal (MGO), and it’s the MGO content that we look for in active Manuka honey.
To produce active Manuka honey, beehives must be located close to a plentiful supply of the right species of manuka plant to ensure a good concentration of DHA. Laboratory testing is required for every batch to determine the levels of MGO present. The work of thousands of honeybees and skilled beekeepers goes into every batch of pure Manuka honey. This is why Manuka honey is more expensive than regular honey.
Australian Manuka Honey – the real deal
AB’s Manuka Honey is 100% pure Australian. It has a rich earthy taste, thicker consistency than regular honey, and a colour that ranges from medium amber to dark amber.
Methylglyoxal forms naturally in honey produced from the right manuka nectar. The amount of MGO present can only be determined through laboratory testing. To be considered “active”, Manuka honey needs to have a minimum MGO level of 30mg per kilogram; MGO 30+.
Every Manuka honey batch at AB’s Honey is independently laboratory tested in an Australian Manuka Honey Association approved laboratory for methylglyoxal and DHA content.
AB’s Honey can meet your MGO requirements to ensure the Manuka honey you receive is perfect for its intended purpose. When you buy wholesale bulk Manuka honey from AB’s Honey, a certificate of analysis can be provided upon request.
