What is Manuka honey?

Manuka honey is a type of honey produced by bees that pollinate the Manuka tree, native to New Zealand and parts of Australia. It's known for its unique antibacterial properties, which are stronger than those of regular honey. This is due to a compound called methylglyoxal (MGO), found in high concentrations in Manuka honey. But, not all Manuka honey is created equal. The potency of Manuka honey is measured by its Unique Manuka Factor (UMF) rating. The higher the UMF, the higher the concentration of MGO and the stronger the antibacterial properties. So, when selecting Manuka honey, look for products with a high Unique Manuka Factor (UMF) rating - a higher UMF indicates a higher concentration of MGO and greater potency.
