Why is Mānuka more expensive than regular/local honey?Updated 2 months ago

Mānuka is a rare honey variety produced only in New Zealand with unique beneficial compounds not found in regular/local honey. It is highly superior to regular highly processed honey found in your local grocery store. Most regular honey in grocery stores has either been heated to high temperatures (which removes the beneficial properties) or blended with lower-quality sweeteners. 

Compared to other types of honey, Mānuka is darker in color, has a richer flavor profile, and a much thicker texture. This delicious, creamy caramel honey is also packed with bioactive compounds not found in other honey, including the unique, naturally occurring, antibacterial methylglyoxal (MGO), as well as a number of unique antioxidants and prebiotics.
