Here Is Where You Can Get Your Fix Of Manuka Honey In Singapore!

“Honey! Where is my super suit!!”, who knows where that is from? Let us know in the comments down below if you got the reference! Anyway, serious business, what do you think about honey? Specifically, Manuka Honey. First of all, honey is quite beneficial to both our skin and body! Most skincare products even contain honey within their ingredient list! But, what do you actually know? If you don’t know what’s the difference between that normal honey, well Beauty Insider will explain it all to you! Although Manuka Honey has been a household product in many homes in Singapore, it seems to be just normal honey to everyone. Just like how you normally call your husband or wife honey! So, here’s everything you need to know! 

What is Manuka Honey?

Manuka Honey is actually not raw honey at all. It is actually specialised and contains antibacterial properties. Besides that, it is also resistant to bacteria as well. Real Manuka is actually found in New Zealand as it is the native origin of the Manuka Plants. When measuring the potency of it, we use UMF (Unique Manuka Flavour). If you want to get the most benefits out of it, then you should be looking for those with a high UMF number. This is because the higher the UMF number means it contains higher levels of these compounds. If you want 100% natural Manuka Honey, make sure to look out for the words “Mono-flora”. Mono-flora means that the honey nectar came from one flower only. Which would be the Manuka flower. 

What are the Benefits?

Manuka Honey offers quite a few benefits which include anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. Besides that, it also has antioxidant properties and is speculated to help treat many illnesses from sore throats to blemishes. So, if you need to heal a wound, Manuka Honey might be your best bet. Since honey is low in moisture, it has the ability to draw it out of wounds. Thus, it is able to boost the healing time and get rid of all the waste. What’s more, is that due to its antibacterial properties, it also has the benefit of cleaning out infections! Thus, it can actually boost your immune system as well. If you suffer from a weak digestive system such as stomach aches, this is a great remedy as well! 

Manuka Honey VS Normal Honey

The difference between Manuka Honey and normal honey is that the former is much more aromatic. It features notes of heather and damp earth, while also having the taste of eucalyptus. Besides that, also contains rich flavours of barley sugar, minerals and herbs and it also tends to be medium sweet, accompanied by a bitter aftertaste. It also comes in a cream form and feels smooth when in the mouth. The later, however, is much more liquidy compared to Manuka Honey. It’s also fairly easy to stick a spoon into normal ones, while it would be hard to do so for Manuka Honey. Normal honey also tends to be sweeter in taste and thicker in consistency as well.
