Product Information

Before we dive too deep into the differences between raw honey and manuka honey, let’s begin with a basic understanding of what honey is, in general. There are always conditions that allow the honey to be contaminated and potentially spoil. This is not, however, the main reason it’s pasteurized. While it’s true that the enzymes produced by bees keep honey from spoiling indefinitely under most circumstances, not even the bees are foolproof. The brand has also recently extended their Everyday Blossom range with their 680g jar format, which will launch across 752 Tesco stores. Honey is antibacterial and manuka has a unique blend of antioxidants and other vitamins that make it very useful for healing minor wounds, burns, and other skin conditions and irritations.

Consumers highly value consistency, aesthetic appeal, and convenience. Pasteurizing and filtering honey not only increases the safety, but it smooths the final product out to a cleaner, clearer, and more consistent syrup.Honey has occasionally been known to cause more serious allergic reactions in people with bee allergies. While this is rare, it stands to reason that it would be more risky with raw honey than regular honey. A or TA: “active” and “total activity” refer to the total amount of antibacterial action and are a different grading system to UMF and NPA. How do I use manuka honey? Naturally, honey is fortified against all the elements, however, it is possible for anything to be contaminated. If it is left exposed, especially in a humid environment, it can go bad.

Manuka Honey can be used on its own as a facial mask by simply applying the honey on a clean damp face,' says Malvina Fraser.

Very similar to conventional table sugar, the type of sugars giving honey its sweetness are glucose and fructose, though it has more fructose than table sugar.

This exfoliating mask contains three key components: olive oil, brown sugar and Manuka honey. They are all natural and effective ingredients that intensely cleanse the pores. The olive oil is used for softening the skin, the brown sugar for a gentle exfoliation and the honey to soothe,' says Malvina Fraser.

Pasteurization is the process of heating a food product to a high temperature, approximately 150°F or higher, to kill any yeast or naturally occurring bacteria that might cause the product to ferment.

This is considerably different from “regular” honey, which has been processed to a much more significant degree. What Does Raw Honey Taste Like? What’s the difference between raw honey and manuka honey? All honey starts out as raw honey, but manuka honey can come pasteurized and is exclusively made from the nectar of the manuka plant native to New Zealand and Australia.
