Description
Kanuka honey from New Zealand: the unknown brother of Manuka!
Just explore the natural landscape of the New Zealand islands and you'll realize that after all, KANUKA HONEY is a unique product, symbolic of the idyllic country of New Zealand. That is why we characterize it as vast, green, clean, healthy, natural and unspoiled. For this reason, New Zealand is proud of its heritage and maintains this heritage by controlling all agricultural goods extremely strictly.
Moreover, our great product reflects these above values. The velvety texture of KANUKA HONEY and its delicate sweetness are a true insider's tip.
On the other hand, we note that Kanuka Honey is not Manuka Honey. However, both plants are related and also from the myrtle family. Since the Manuka bush is much better known and is called lat. Leptospermum scoparium, the Kanuka bush is called lat. Kunzea ericoides.
Kanuka honey has low methylglyoxal (MGO) content, but does not reach the values as in Manuka!
While the quality of Manuka honey can be quantified quite easily by methylglyoxal tests, this is not possible with Kanuka honey, because this does not possess great amount of MGO.
Enjoy the exquisite taste of the fine honey of the Kanuka plant, which has a very special meaning for New Zealand. The scent and taste of honey from the myrtle species are just some of its many great qualities. Find out more - thanks to our KANUKA HONEY from New Zealand.
Kanuka is not so much a anti-microbial as Manuka but it's got the higher hydrogen peroxide activity levels and the AGP protein that stimulates the immune system. Kanuka has always been considered better for external wound treatment, burns and skin disorders.
