Manuka honey
Manuka honey gets its own mention because it’s a little different than what you’ll find in more traditional honey. It comes from the New Zealand scrub plant and is much more potent than other kinds of honey. In addition to tasting great in drinks and on toast, it’s also used as a topical treatment for wounds because of its antibacterial properties. When ingested, it can soothe a sore throat and potentially boost immunity. Genuine manuka honey has a slightly creamy texture and will be thicker than other honey. It should also bear the MGO label on it – which is methylglyoxal, a compound found in high concentration in manuka honey.
