Manuka Honey 514+<\/strong> is a pure honey from the manuka tree that grows in South East Australia, especially in Victoria, New South Wales and the island of Tasmania. And in New Zealand, but mainly on the east coast of the island. M\u0101nuka (comes from the Maori language ‘m\u0101nuka’) is the name used in New Zealand. In Australia “tea tree” is used and to a lesser extent in New Zealand. The name came about after James Cook<\/strong> used the leaves in the 18th century to make a ‘tea’ drink. The honey is created when honeybees collect the nectar from the manuka flowers. These flowers are white, sometimes also pink, have a diameter of about 8 to 15 mm, and each flower has five petals. A manuka tree grows to an average height of 2 to 5 meters, but under favorable conditions can even reach a height of 15 m.
\nThe honey has its own, unique, strong taste and the color is darker than normal honeys. The special thing about M\u0101nuka honey is its antifungal and antibacterial effect, which are expressed in a UMF (Unique M\u0101nuka Factor) value (see below) or MGO or methylglyoxal content. The higher the UMF or MGO content, the more powerful the honey. At Levensstroom you can choose from Manuka honey with an MGO of 85+<\/a> for daily use in the kitchen and the more powerful manuka honey with an MGO of 514+ with stronger antibacterial properties.<\/p>\n

Mainly Manuka honey from the South East of New Zealand is known for its high UMF. Other regions in New Zealand produce M\u0101nuka with a variable Unique M\u0101nuka Factor.<\/p>\n
