Manuka Honey is a unique type of honey produced by bees that pollinate the Manuka tree, native to New Zealand and Australia. It is known for its distinct flavor and dark color, which comes from the nectar of the tree's flowers. This honey is often sought after for its potential health benefits, including antibacterial properties.
The antibacterial effects of Manuka Honey are attributed to a compound called methylglyoxal (MGO), which is found in higher concentrations compared to regular honey. Many people use it for wound healing, soothing sore throats, and improving digestive health. However, scientific research is ongoing to fully understand its benefits.
