Manuka Honey from SummerGlow Apiaries

I love honey- pretty much all kinds of honey but tend to prefer darker, often more bitter/less sweet honey. So when I was at my friends' Jade & Jason Calacanis' house and saw a jar of Manuka Honey from SummerGlow Apiaries on the table, I had to try it.

Delicious. The manuka honey has a smooth, buttery, slightly nutty flavor and milky color and texture. It is also not overpoweringly sweet.

Supposedly, SummerGlow's manuka honey is certified w/something called UMF (unique manuka factor) of 16 which makes it a potent antibacterial that the harvesters say is good for ulcers and digestion, as well as being packed w/oads of anti-oxidants. Manuka is the flowering plant this honey is made from.

I don't know if the manuka health claims are true or not, but the honey is tasty and I have read elsewhere about the anti-oxidant and antibacterial properties of honey, so I am inclined to believe that this honey might be more than just a sweet confection.

Regardless of its health benefits, I have been spooning it out straight out of the jar.

When you're feeling down, use Manuka Honey! It's a healthy and anti-bacterial honey. Really gets me up and running when I'm feeling down.
