Years ago, my little family and I lived on the tiny island of Rarotonga in the South Pacific for a summer. We befriended an actual descendant of an island princess and her Kiwi husband. Our new friends had a family emergency, so they said they were off to New Zealand for a week and asked if I could watch their baby pig<\/strong>. Sure, I like pigs. The husband asked if he could bring us back some Manuka Honey from New Zealand as a Thank You. I said, “Sure, I like honey.” Not getting the reaction he anticipated, he said, “No, Manuuuuuuka Honey,” this time with emphasis. I still drew a blank but tried to look appreciative and again thanked him \u2013 What’s the big deal?<\/p>\n

A week later he returned and gave me the most luxurious thick, dark honey that was bursting with flavor. During my friend’s absence, I also had time to research, as I had no idea Manuka was the ‘Mercedes of Honey’. This was, sort of, a big deal.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

I recently had the opportunity to sample a variety of Manuka honey products by PRI based in New Zealand, and it was a giddy experience. Not only is Manuka thick and luxurious, but it is the most healthful honey on the planet \u2013 and that claim can be backed up by testing & data<\/a>.<\/p>\n

PRI utilizes family-owned beekeepers to harvest Real Manuka in New Zealand from the Manuka Tree (Leptospermum scoparium).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When shopping for Manuka, look for the number next to it. The number represents the MGO (Methylglyoxal) level. This is a compound found in Manuka honey that is believed to be responsible for many of its potential health benefits, particularly its antibacterial properties<\/a>. The MGO (Methylglyoxal) content over 300+ mg\/kg in honey refers to the concentration of Methylglyoxal present in 1 kilogram of that specific honey. So, the higher the MGO content, the stronger the potential antibacterial properties are believed to be.<\/p>\n

You’ll also note that the price increases along with the MGO number. I am sampling the PRI Australian Manuka Honey 300+ which is chock full of health benefits.<\/p>\n

PRI Australian Manuka Honey 300+<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n

May improve digestive health: Manuka honey has been shown to have prebiotic properties, which means it can help promote the growth of good bacteria in your gut. May boost the immune system: Some studies suggest that Manuka honey may help to stimulate the immune system. May aid wound healing: Manuka honey has unique antibacterial properties, which may benefit wound healing \u2013 some hospitals use Manuka honey on patients for wound healing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

PRI Manuka Honey & Propolis Lozenges<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n

I like to BEE prepared (See what I did there) and have lozenges on hand for those sudden late-night sore throats. Why do they always start at night? I love the PRI Manuka and Propolis lozenges as they combine the potential benefits of Manuka honey with propolis, a resinous substance produced by bees that has some antibacterial and antiviral properties.<\/p>\n

\"PRI<\/p>\n

Not only does the honey help soothe a sore throat, but the Manuka may have some antibacterial properties and the propolis is known for its antioxidant properties, supporting the immune system.<\/p>\n

PRI also offers sweet honey treats like the very tasty Manuka Honey Caramels<\/a><\/strong> <\/span>– Contains Manuka Honey 50+ from New Zealand.\u00a0 If you love caramels, you’ll go crazy for these – they are soft, don’t stick in your teeth and they are made with ‘better for you’ ingredients.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I can’t wait to bring the PRI Ginger Manuka Honey Nuggets<\/strong><\/a><\/span> (like hard candy) on our upcoming sailing trip, just in case one of us gets a queasy stomach out on the seas as ginger can help with that feeling.<\/p>\n
