Using Manuka Honey In Your Everyday Recipes
Aside from their unique flavouring, one of the reasons Manuka Honey stands out above other types of honey is their antibacterial properties, thanks to it containing a chemical called Methylglyoxal (MGO). Manuka is used in recipes and has been studied to aid gut health and immunity – providing both a delicious treat and ongoing support towards better wellness.

With the great-tasting and antibacterial benefits of Manuka and Lemon Honey, it’s not so much of a ‘pick me up’, but a ‘launch me up’!
