Note that the exact composition of honey varies depending on its floral source – it is a natural product after all! Manuka honey has antimicrobial properties; in fact, the high sugar content, low pH and low water content of all types of honey creates an unfavourable environment for bacterial growth*. That means you shouldn’t start consuming more honey if you currently avoid sugar or are counting calories. Rather, it’s about replacement — if you use table sugar, syrup, or another sweetener, try switching those sugars out for honey. Stir it into your tea or coffee, blend it into a smoothie or juice, drizzle it onto your breakfast or spread it liberally on your toast. Either way, it’s delicious – and full of goodness.
